GMC Reveals All-New AT4 Off-Road Package for All-New 2019 Sierra 1500


GMC’s all-new AT4 off-road package will make its debut this week at the 2018 New York International Auto Show, arguably the off-roading capital of the U.S. (we kid, obviously … but then again, hear tell NYC potholes can make for a veritable off-road course). The package will debut on the also-all-new 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 half-ton pickup truck first revealed earlier this month.

The AT4 package will migrate to other GMC vehicles in due time, but for now will be limited to the half-ton 1500. AT4 Sierra 1500s share their underpinnings with the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Trailboss and are equipped with:
- A 2-inch lift
- Standard four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case
- Locking rear differential
- Skid plates
- Rancho-brand monotube shocks
- 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires or mud-terrain Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires
- Optional 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
Initial AT4 Sierras will be limited to a 5.3-liter V-8, but a 6.2-liter V-8 and turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine will be available later this year.
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500’s appearance remains more differentiated from its Silverado sibling when in AT4 form. It features a black-chrome grille and foglight bezels along with body-color front and rear bumpers and grille surround. Red emblems and tow hooks add a splash of color.
All AT4 Sierras will have leather seating and the Jet Black/Kalahari color combination is the only interior color choice. Head restraints get AT4 badge embroidery, and all-weather floormats are standard.
