2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X First Drive Review: A Cultured Beast

When GMC launched its AT4 trim of the Sierra 1500, it was a welcome addition but didn't take things far enough for those wanting to enjoy the recreational off-road life. For business owners wanting to get around areas like ranches or beat-upon construction sites, it was damn near perfect. But it didn't quite offer enough for those wanting to get properly off-piste. Now, along with a sophisticated facelift and new interior design, GMC has introduced the AT4X. Features include Multimatic DSSV dampers that extend suspension travel, Terrain Mode with one-pedal crawling, and the addition of a front diff-locker to go with the one at the back. It's powered as standard by GM's ruthlessly reliable and powerful 6.2-liter V8, with its power delivered exclusively to a 4WD system by a 10-speed automatic transmission with a transfer case. Inside, GMC has elevated its idea of luxury again with its new Obsidian Rush interior, full-grain and technical grain leather, white piping and red stitching, genuine dark Vanta ash wood trim, and a wealth of technology that we'll cover later on.

In short, the AT4X promises rugged luxury with an upgrade in off-road performance. To give the Sierra 1500 AT4X a full workout, GMC invited us on a road trip out into the gorgeous countryside of San Diego County and into our regular off-road stomping ground of the Anza Borrego desert.
