Throughout our time with the brand new GMC Canyon AT4X, the automaker unveiled the Sierra HD AT4X and the much more hardcore AEV Version too. On the similar time, it towed behind it a completely cloaked mid-size pickup with uncovered wheels. We’re undecided why GMC went to the difficulty of overlaying it up because it just about informed us what it was on the similar time.
AEV stands for American Expedition Automobiles, an organization that provides “OE-quality off-road components for leisure driving and overland journey journey.” It’s working hand in hand with Normal Motors to supply the aforementioned Sierra HD AT4X AEV Version. We’re fairly sure that the truck you see behind the Sierra is a GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Version.
GMC was utterly mum concerning the topic which appears a bit foolish when you ask me. That’s as a result of whereas it went to nice lengths to cowl up the whole physique of the truck, it left the wheels and tires uncovered. They’re the identical because the one on the Sierra HD AT4X AEV so it might make lots of sense that that is certainly the Canyon model.

If it’s something just like the Sierra HD or the traditional Sierra AT4X AEV Version, it’ll in all probability embody extra skid plates, stamped metal bumpers, built-in restoration factors, and entrance winch functionality. Technically, we don’t know that it’ll be known as the AEV Version however it might fall in step with the opposite two vans within the lineup. Moreover, we don’t have any concept of when it would come out.
Why disguise this truck whereas concurrently freely giving what it doubtless is? We’re betting that GMC is hoping to get an additional wave of press after they unveil it later within the yr. In the event that they utterly dropped the duvet on it proper now it might be considerably overshadowed by the AT4X that we’re going to let you know much more about on Friday.
