If you’re seeking a truck that’s built to go off the beaten path, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 lineup fits the bill. You can choose a dedicated off-road package or one of two trim levels designed to take on rough terrain. Here’s a closer look at what each of these Sierra off-road options has to offer.


Caring for Your Vehicle’s Tires: Here’s what you need to know


X31 Off-Road Package

If you don’t opt for one of the Sierra’s off-road trims, the X31 Off-Road Package is the best way to equip your truck with essential equipment for adventure. This package is offered as an option for 4WD-equipped Pro, SLE, Elevation, and SLT trims. It comes with an off-road suspension, a two-speed Autotrac transfer case, an automatic locking rear differential, and hill descent control. Other key package features include underbody skid plates, a heavy-duty air filter, and an X31 badge.

Sierra AT4

The AT4 is the Sierra lineup’s dedicated off-road trim. Along with all the features included with the X31 package, it comes equipped with an array of upgrades. These include a 2-inch factory-installed suspension lift for improved ground clearance and approach/departure angles, Rancho monotube shocks tuned for off-roading, Goodyear Wrangler mud-terrain tires, and red recovery hooks. The AT4 also receives a standard Duramax turbo-diesel engine and seats trimmed in jet-black leather with Kalahari red accents.

Sierra AT4X

One of the Sierra lineup’s newest additions, the AT4X trim goes beyond even the AT4 with its advanced package of off-road features. It’s the first Sierra model to receive Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers. It also comes with Terrain Mode for one-pedal rock crawling, front and rear electronic locking differentials for heightened traction, and uniquely tuned chassis and suspension components. Other notable AT4X features include a 6.2-liter V8 engine and a luxurious Obsidian Rush interior with full-grain leather seats, red stitching, and ash wood trim.
