Yes-GMC built two serious off-road tiers into the Sierra HD lineup.

The **AT4** features a factory lift, Rancho shocks, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a robust 4WD system. It's ready for construction zones and backcountry roads with aggressive styling and proven resilience.

The **AT4X** pushes further with Multimatic DSSV dampers, locking differentials, and 35-inch terrain tires. The optional **AEV Edition** adds stamped-steel bumpers, additional skid plates, and off-road-specific enhancements for extreme enthusiasts.

Both deliver uncompromising off-road toughness while maintaining the Sierra HD's work-truck reliability. Markquart Motors stocks new Sierra HD models including AT4 and AT4X trims. Call (715) 833-0444 to arrange a test drive or learn more about current availability.
