While autumn is almost upon us, that doesn’t mean those passionate about adventures should end their road trip plans. After all, innovative ideas are currently showcased at the Overland Expo Mountain West 2021.
GMC decided to partake in the Loveland, Colorado-based event and did not come there empty-handed. Instead, the GM subsidiary officially presented its Canyon AT4 OVRLANDX concept truck. It’s a no-brainer to think this reworked pickup aims to appeal to overlanding enthusiasts. But GMC adds it is also a way to allow for the capable vehicle to showcase the “brand’s off-road performance vision.”
It naturally started from the already capable Canyon AT4 version, with the prototype increasing both off-road capabilities and appealing to the practical overlander. So, first things first, let us discuss the ability to venture off the beaten path. That one comes without a second thought, as the beefy 3.6-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic deliver the power to explore the wilderness.
Once there, the concept would use the beefy 33-inch tires, wrapped around 17-inch AEV Crestone wheels, as well as the factory-lifted wide off-road chassis to get out of any sticky situation. It will do so with help from the 27.7-degree approach angle and ten-inch (25.4 cm) ground clearance. If that’s still not enough, GMC has also fitted lots of other off-road goodies, from guy lines to a custom snorkel.
As far as the overlading elements are concerned, the offer is just as great and wide. For example, there’s a 270-degree awning, cooler and kitchenette, Jerry cans for water and gasoline, a solar panel, and many more. Additionally, just to stand out in the Canyon crowd, this special AT4 wears bespoke badges, a new grille, and unique headlamp finishes, as well as an exclusive leather-wrapped interior to “create a sense of confident capability that doesn’t compromise style or comfort.”
