As GM Authority has covered on several occasions, the fifth-generation GMC Yukon SUV will be refreshed for the 2024 model year, with a long list of updates and changes on the docket. As before, the 2024 GMC Yukon will once again offer the off-road-oriented AT4 trim level, as spotted in spy photos published in March. But we got to wondering – what would a more-capable GMC Yukon AT4X trim level look like?
At present, GM has no known plans to actually develop a new GMC Yukon AT4X trim level, at least for now. That said, such a model certainly wouldn’t be all that farfetched given the expansion of the AT4X lineup to every other body-on-frame GMC model. In the meantime, however, we created this rendering just for fun to see what such a thing might look like.
For those readers who may be unaware, GMC’s AT4X trims build on the AT4 lineup with even more off-road capability, with the current AT4X lineup including the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X, the GMC Sierra HD AT4X, and the GMC Canyon AT4X.
So then, with all that in mind, what would a potential GMC Yukon AT4X actually look like?

Well, for starters, it would feature a new design. As such, we added in the grille from the Sierra AT4X, as well as the Sierra AT4X’s multi-spoke wheels. A set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires provide the traction. A prominent Safari Bar was added to the front fascia as well, while the front end design was modified with a slightly revised bumper, light bar, and a new skid plate to accommodate updated red tow hooks and a winch.
Rocker protection is in place along the flanks, while in back, we revised the rear apron for an improved departure angle. The exhaust pipes are also tucked under the body, once again in the name of an improved departure angle.

Obviously, GM’s Multimatic DSSV dampers would be installed for the suspension spec, while driver-selectable full-locking front and rear e-locking differentials would help in more-difficult terrain.
Looks good. We certainly wouldn’t mind seeing a GMC Yukon AT4X out on the trail, how about you?

Build it and they will come.
The new GMC AT4X needs a 3.0 diesel as an option. Super low end torque plus 40 mpg.
YES!
Offer the diesel 3.45 axle and please no 3 rd row as a off roader, car camper -overlander we /most us us have no need ,want or will ever have a use for the 3rd row ,no 3rd row= more payload and towing
I disagree. My daughter and son in law have 3 boys, 2, 5 and 12. When we all want to go somewhere, which we do often, we have to take 2 vehicles. A GMC Yukon XL is in her near future. ❤️
The big SUVs are just luxury wagons, Tahoe included. AT4X doesn’t make sense. A real Blazer doesn’t make sense either based off this gen.
Yes – I need one. I was looking to buy 2023 AT4, but now .. I must get AT4X if it’s released.
We ordered an AT4 XL Nov of 2022 and still don’t have it!! Very frustrating – need that 3rd row seat, as we have a new baby now!!! What’s the hold up??
I drive an AT4 Yukon & utilize it daily as an off-road farm vehicle-mud, sand, cow pastures, hauling seed, tandem axle trailers with equipment, etc. While there are fewer of us, there’s absolutely a need for off road versions of these SUVs.
PLEASE make an AT4X YUKON XL. PLEASE!
Concur with this idea. Yukon XL AT4X with diesel option would sell. It will sell 100x over the EV Hummer.
PLEASE make an AT4X YUKON XL. PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE
