Off-Road-Ready Trucks in Stanton, TX

If you're gearing up for West Texas trails, rugged backroads, or just want a vehicle that laughs at potholes, GMC has your back. From AT4 to AT4X, Multimatic™ DSSV dampers to skid plates and locking differentials, GMC trucks and SUVs come stacked with off-road features built for serious terrain.

At Charlie Clark Chevrolet GMC in Stanton, we know our customers want vehicles that work as hard off the road as they do on it. So here’s a breakdown of the off-road specs that actually matter – and why they’re worth paying attention to.

Ground Clearance: Keep Your Undercarriage Safe

Ground clearance measures how high your vehicle sits above the ground. The higher it is, the easier it’ll be to clear rocks, ruts, and trail debris.

• GMC Sierra AT4X: Up to 11.1 inches of clearance
• GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition: Even more thanks to 35-inch Goodyear® mud-terrain tires and AEV hardware

If you’re heading into the Davis Mountains or navigating rough oilfield access roads, more clearance gives you more freedom – and fewer underbody scrapes.

4WD and Off-Road Mode Systems

Nearly every off-road-ready GMC comes with 4WD, but models like the Canyon and Sierra AT4X bring even more control:

• Automatic 4WD lets you set it and forget it.
• Drive Mode Selectors give you Snow, Mud, Sand, or Terrain settings.
• Low-range gearing on true 4x4 systems improves control at low speeds.

Whether you're crawling over rocks or pushing through deep sand, these features help you keep grip without stressing the drivetrain.

Suspension That Works with You

Off-roading puts pressure on your suspension system, so GMC equips many AT4 and AT4X models with gear built to handle it.

• Multimatic™ DSSV Dampers: Found in the AT4X trims, these race-inspired dampers adapt to terrain in real-time for serious stability and control.
• Off-Road-Tuned Springs and Shocks: Adjusted for better articulation and weight distribution when the pavement ends.

In short, you get a smoother ride on rough trails and better traction when one or more tires lose contact with the ground.

Tires and Wheels That Mean Business

Factory-equipped off-road GMCs come with tires designed to do more than look cool. You’ll find:

• Goodyear® Wrangler Territory MT or Duratrac Tires for Mud, Gravel, and Rock
• 17- to 20-inch Off-Road Wheels with Beadlock-Capable Options
• Aggressive Tread Patterns to Maintain Grip when Surfaces get Slick

Better tires equal better control – plain and simple.

Underbody Protection: Armor Where It Counts

When you're off-roading, your undercarriage can take a beating. GMC offers serious protection with:

• Skid Plates: Found on AT4 and AT4X models, covering the front suspension, fuel tank, and transfer case.
• AEV Hot-Stamped Boron Steel Skid Plates: Exclusive to the Canyon AT4X AEV Edition – five plates in total.
• Rocker panel protection and front recovery points to keep you covered and ready to pull others out of a jam.

This gear helps prevent costly damage and adds confidence when heading off the beaten path.

Locking Differentials for Maximum Traction

• Front and rear electronic locking differentials on AT4X trims.
• These lock the wheels on each axle together, so both sides turn at the same speed – critical when one wheel’s in the air or slipping in mud.

Perfect for technical terrain where traction matters most.

Ready to Ride Off the Pavement?

Whether you're tackling ranch roads, towing toys into the wilderness, or just want a daily driver with attitude, GMC’s off-road lineup brings the muscle and the brains. From the Canyon AT4X to the Sierra HD AT4, these trucks and SUVs are built for the real world, not just the brochure.
