Overview
Created in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles, the Canyon AT4X AEV Edition elevates GM's midsize platform with 35-inch tires, 4.5-inch factory lift, AEV steel bumpers, and complete underbody armor.
Off-Road Capability & Performance
Driven by a 310 hp / 430 lb-ft TurboMax engine and dampened by Multimatic DSSV shocks, the AEV Edition crawls over rock obstacles effortlessly thanks to front and rear electronic locking differentials and a 38.2-degree approach angle.
Cabin Tech & Utility
Inside, passengers enjoy Obsidian Rush leather seating with white accents, underbody trail cameras, Head-Up Display, Bose sound, and Google built-in infotainment.
Pros
Extreme off-road capability with 35-inch Goodyear MT tires and 12.2 inches of ground clearance
Multimatic DSSV dampers deliver supreme control on high-speed desert runs and slow trails
Standard front and rear electronic locking differentials for total traction
Comprehensive underbody protection with 5 hot-stamped boron steel skid plates
AEV stamped steel bumpers with integrated recovery points and winch compatibility
Cons
Fuel economy is low at 16 MPG combined due to 35-inch mud-terrain tires and high lift
Towing capacity drops to 5,500 lbs compared to 7,700 lbs on standard Canyon models
High starting MSRP near $68,000
Verdict
The 2026 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition represents the absolute pinnacle of factory-built midsize off-road trucks, pairing 35-inch Goodyear MT tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, boron steel skid plates, and front/rear e-lockers with upscale cabin luxury.
