2023 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition Teaser

The upcoming Canyon AT4X AEV will add some more farkles to the AT4X package, although it’s likely to be more about bragging rights and ease of use on the trail than actual performance upgrades. The AT4X’s claim to fame is its Multimatic DSSV dampers, along with other suspension and chassis upgrades.

You can think of this latest AEV truck as the yin to that massive truck’s yang, but we all now that midsize is the right size.
