The Top GMC Vehicles and Trims to go Off Roading

If you enjoy an adventurous lifestyle, GMC offers several models that let you confidently explore the great outdoors. The best part is that you won't have to sacrifice any comfort on the street. Here are some of the top GMC vehicles and trims to go off-roading.

GMC Colorado

For good reason, the GMC Canyon is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts. Even this midsize pickup's entry-level trim is rugged enough to hit the trails. An off-road suspension with 2.0-inch factory lift and all-terrain tires comes standard. Under the hood rests a TurboMax four-cylinder engine, which punches out 310-horsepower and a monstrous 430 lb-ft of torque. More rugged features come equipped on the Canyon AT4, including Advanced Hill Descent Control. For hardcore off-roaders, GMC offers the Canyon AT4X. Some of its upgrades include Multimatic DSSV dampers, electronic locking differentials, and rocker protectors.

GMC Sierra 1500

Drivers who need more space for their family and extra towing power should consider the full-size Sierra 1500. Like the Canyon, it offers trail-ready AT4 and AT4X trims. The Sierra 1500 also packs a lot of muscle. Performance-hungry drivers can step up to a 6.2-liter V8 engine that packs 420 horsepower.

GMC Yukon

Designed to seat up to eight passengers, the GMC Yukon is perfect for drivers who have a large family. A truck-based frame also makes this large SUV more than capable of venturing off-road. It's available on AT4 trims, which feature a performance front skid plate and an Active Response 4WD system. GMC also equips the AT4 trims with an adaptive Magnetic Ride Control Suspension, thus enhancing the SUV's comfort and off-road capability.

Sierra EV

If you're looking to go all-electric, check out the Sierra EV. This innovative pickup is just as capable as its gas-powered counterparts. The Sierra EV AT4 boasts 35-inch all-terrain tires, an e4WD system, and a useful Terrain mode. GMC's cutting-edge CrabWalk technology also makes it easier for you to navigate around off-road obstacles.

Other Off-Road-Ready Models

The GMC Hummer EV is another excellent option for adventure seekers. Its available Extreme Off-Road Package enables you to tackle more challenging trails. While the GMC Acadia AT4 is known for its family-focused features, don't overlook this midsize SUV's ability to handle a rugged adventure. Other capable models include the GMC Sierra HD AT4 and the GMC Terrain AT4.
