Alpine GMC – Why the 2026 GMC Canyon AT4X Makes Adventure Weekends Easier around Arvada, CO

Colorado’s best weekends are the ones spent above tree line, on a gravel ribbon to a hidden campsite, or following a rocky trail to a trailhead that sees more elk than traffic. The 2026 GMC Canyon AT4X is built for those miles, pairing high-clearance hardware with a driver-first tech suite that helps remove guesswork from challenging terrain. A 3-inch factory lift and a wide track boost approach and breakover angles, while selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials—exclusive to AT4X—deliver the tractive force to climb rutted shelves or descend loose grades with authority. The standard underbody cameras include front and rear views with wash systems, and HD Surround Vision can join the split screen so lines are easy to spot without leaving the cab. Inside, a multicolor 6.3-inch Head-Up Display projects turn-by-turn prompts, pitch and roll, and speed, helping attention stay where it belongs—on the trail ahead.

Power comes from the TurboMax® engine with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, and the ProGrade® Trailering System keeps hitching simple when a pop-up camper or trail rig needs to come along. The 11.3-inch GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in blends offline mapping, voice control, and seamless smartphone connection, while the Off-Road Performance Display adds AT4X-exclusive Baja metrics like G-force, steering angle, and wheel slip indicators. The result is confidence in motion—whether threading a narrow forest path or backing a trailer beside a mountain stream at dusk.

• 3-inch factory lift: Improves approach and breakover angles for confident line selection on rocky terrain.
• Selectable e-lockers, front and rear: Exclusive to AT4X for maximum traction across crossed-axle or loose surfaces.
• Standard underbody cameras: Front and rear views with wash systems simplify spotting over crests and obstacles.
• HD Surround Vision: Adds a top-down perspective to guide tight trail maneuvers and campsite parking.
• Off-Road Performance Display: Real-time pitch, roll, tire pressures, and Baja-mode metrics build situational awareness.
• ProGrade® Trailering System: Trailer profiles, test lights, and Hitch View streamline setup before sunrise departures.
• MultiStow® Tailgate: Available integrated storage with a drain secures recovery straps, gloves, or camp essentials.

Daily life in AT4X is just as easy. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ keep messages and media front and center, and heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control help after a cold pre-dawn start. Canyon Pro Safety brings Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, with available Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, adding helpful assurance when loading up for the next trip. Cabin materials feel purpose-built and premium, and there is ample small-item storage so trail gear has a place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do the AT4X underbody cameras help on narrow trails?

They provide front and rear views beneath the truck—plus wash systems—so drivers can see rocks, ruts, and breakovers without leaving the cab. Paired with HD Surround Vision, the split-screen view makes spotting lines far simpler.

What’s the benefit of selectable front and rear e-lockers?

Locking the differentials sends equal torque to both wheels on an axle, maintaining traction when one wheel is unloaded or on a loose surface—crucial for controlled climbs and precise, slow-speed maneuvers.

Can the AT4X still tow confidently?

Yes. The TurboMax® engine’s 430 lb-ft of torque provides strong pull, and the ProGrade® Trailering System with Hitch View, trailer profiles, and test lights helps simplify the hitching process.

Is the Head-Up Display useful off-road?

Absolutely. The multicolor 6.3-inch Head-Up Display can project trail-relevant info like speed, navigation prompts, and Off-Road Performance data at eye level, reducing the need to glance down.

What makes AT4X different from AT4?

AT4X adds a 3-inch factory lift, selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials, and standard underbody cameras, along with AT4X-exclusive Baja metrics in the Off-Road Performance Display.
