The 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition just made its formal introduction, offering up a next-level off-roader complete with tons of trail-ready upgrades. Similar to the 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison, the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition features a wealth of equipment provided by the off-road and overlanding specialists at American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), elevating the new third-generation GMC Canyon with even more of that dirt-duty good stuff. The 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition joins the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition and GMC Sierra HD AT4X AEV Edition to round out Big Red’s off-roader lineup.
Framed as “the most advanced and capable Canyon ever,” the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition features some nice specs when it comes to tackling the trails, including a 38.2-degree approach angle, a 26-degree departure angle, and a 26.9-degree breakover angle, as well as 12.2 inches of ground clearance.
Equipment highlights include 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires wrapped around exclusive AEV beadlock-capable Salta wheels, as well as a 1.5-inch lift compared to the standard GMC Canyon AT4X. The exterior also includes stamped steel front and rear bumpers, while a set of five ultra-high strength, hot-stamped Boron steel skid plates protect vital bits underneath the truck, including the front approach, the suspension and steering gear, the transfer case, the fuel tank, and the rear differential.
The bumpers are signature units from AEV, and offer a high-clearance design that maximizes approach angle and vehicle protection. There’s also integrated fog lights up front and provisions for a winch, the latter of which will fit a ComeUp unit offered as a dealer-installed GM Accessory.
The rear bumper also features removable plastic caps with a replaceable 10mm thick steel skid plate, as well as two heavy-duty, chassis-mounted recovery points.
As for the mechanical bits, the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition is expected to run the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, specifically the Turbo High-Output variant rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The updated GMT 31XX-2 platform will provide the underpinnings.
For now, pricing and availability details are still under wraps, but stay tuned, because we’ll have plenty more to say about the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition very soon. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more GMC Canyon news, GMC news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Pretty sure that 1″ of the 1.5″ comes from the tires, I think they just did a 0.5″ body lift.
Hilariously too expensive
I’m going to assume that this (along with the Bison) will cost near $70k.
Firstly, paying that kind of money for a midsized pickup is ludicrous, but it’s not my money. To each their own. Secondly, I do not now of too many people that are willing to buy a brand new $70k pickup and bash it through the woods, thus tearing the thing to pieces (dented body panels, broken tie-rods, punctured tires, etc..). IMHO, I would rather build a go-buggy out of an older S-10 for 1/3 of the price. I could build one that would hold up better than this and dented/broken parts wouldn’t be an such an issue.
Go to Moab Utah or Colorado. you will need 100k land rovers, brandnew toyota fourunners with 10k plus addons going through areas not wide enough for them. Most jeeps in Moab are easy about 80k with the addons. People have the money and don’t seem to care.
As I said before, to each their own. If I was venturing out there, I’d still take an older rig and modify it, rather than beat the tar out of a brand new vehicle “for fun”. Beating the Hell out of a $70-80k rig would make me sick! You’re right, some people just don’t care.
LOL, I had the same thought. Starting price 65k. Out the door 70k+. Nice look though, should have done this years ago. Only for the rich and famous, not the average Joe. Even the standard 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X is 4k ~ 5k higher than the 2023 Colorado ZR2 with the same accessories and the only major differences I see is the red accented leather interior in the Canyon and no black ugly thing on the hood. GM is pricing itself out of the market.
They don’t bash em up. Most are city/suburb cowboys. Never see dirt. Real dirt anyway. I see these things on the road driving like a sports car. To each there own.
Surprised there aren’t any suspension pics or details. The Colorado Bison added hydraulic bump stops at each corner but no mention of that here.
Well, they are virtually twins, so I would imagine that the Canyon would be the same!
In price ? No the gmc is always little more
Real exciting stuff GM. You guys still can’t figure out how to get a 2023 model year Colorado/Canyon from the Wentzville plant to dealer lots, let alone start touting a ’24 model. How about you start working on fixing the logistics nightmare you have and get trucks to the customers that ordered them. What an all out embarrassment this launch has been!
Spot on , called GM today my truck is stuck in Missouri. The day someone finally does see the truck on the street there going to want to order one only to find out its been discontinued 6 months ago. They have a Log jam down there , you would think they would want these things at the dealer how much money is aging sitting on lots , they collect 1500 for shipping then want to subcontract the delivery out to the lowest bidder. if they put it out there they were paying 1500 per car every car carrier in the country would be lined up from Cancoon to Rangoon. I’m sure expedited shipping is coming people will pay for it and if they could monetize it why not. Someone is working on the 25 colorado right now
Slower than the raptor ranger and going 70k?
310 vs 405 hp . Oof . Unless your on the dirt constantly is that really worth it ?
you pay for capability not street performance, which the canyon / colorado deliver greater than the raptor
My thoughts for the AT4X: V/8 power. GMC marketing already applying a 68K sticker price why not give the customer a real bang for their buck and blow the mid-size truck competition out of the water. Oh-well, just one man’s opinion, I’ve only been messing around with trucks for the last 50 some years, always making them better by bring out the best of what’s cool.
