This stunning pickup truck is a testament to American engineering prowess by putting together the already formidable GMC Sierra 2400 AT4X with the factory fitted American Expedition Vehicle (AEV) off-road upgrades, with Autogroup International then converting the vehicle to right-hand drive.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, American Vehicles has leveraged its three decades of expertise to deliver a seamless RHD conversion, preserving the Sierra’s inherent power and off-road dominance.

The Heart of a Titan

At the core of the right-hand drive GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition lies a potent 6.6-litre V8 turbodiesel engine, a powerhouse that commands respect with its staggering output of 470 horses and an earth-shattering 975 lb-ft of torque. This formidable force propels the Sierra from a standstill to 100 KPH in a mere 7.1 seconds, defying its substantial curb weight of 3,900 kilograms.

Complementing this brute strength is an advanced 10-speed Allison automatic transmission, seamlessly channelling the engine’s immense power to the wheels. With such prodigious might at its disposal, the Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition can effortlessly tow up to an astounding 8,300 kilogram, making it a true workhorse capable of towing the largest boats, caravan or horse float.

Conquering Treacherous Terrain

Designed to conquer the most unforgiving landscapes, the GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition boasts an array of robust features that elevate its off-road capabilities to unprecedented levels. The truck’s rugged exterior is adorned with AEV-stamped steel bumpers, fortified to withstand the rigors of extreme adventures.

The front bumper’s aggressive approach angle of 31.6 degrees, coupled with a breakover angle of 22.6 degrees, ensures effortless navigation over obstacles and undulating terrain. Furthermore, the automatically deploying running boards can be deactivated, maximising the Sierra’s impressive 11.8-inch ground clearance, allowing it to traverse even the most challenging landscapes with ease.

Enhancing its off-road prowess are integrated tow hooks, 18-inch AEV Salta wheels, and formidable 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires. An electronic locking rear differential and protective steel plates safeguarding vital components like the engine, steering rack, transfer case, and exhaust system further solidify the Sierra’s unwavering resilience.

Uncompromising Ride Quality

While the GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with off the beaten path, its on-road performance is equally impressive, courtesy of the cutting-edge MultiMatic DSSV suspension system. This advanced technology seamlessly blends ride comfort and handling dynamics, ensuring a smooth and composed ride quality, even when traversing the most demanding terrains.

Confidence in Braking Power

Complementing the Sierra’s colossal power and off-road capabilities is a robust braking system that instils unwavering confidence in every stop. The powerful calipers, surpassing the performance of many passenger cars, effortlessly bring this behemoth to a halt, belying its immense tonnage.

This exceptional braking prowess not only enhances safety but also contributes to the Sierra’s overall driving dynamics, ensuring precise control and responsiveness, even in the most demanding situations.

Luxury Meets Functionality

The flat rear floor further enhances the cabin’s spaciousness, making it a viable option for families seeking a capable daily driver.

While the right-hand drive GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition’s exterior exudes ruggedness and capability, its interior appointments exude a sense of luxury and refinement. The red stitching adorning the seats and door cards, complemented by the AEV-embroidered headrests, adds a touch of exclusivity to the cabin. The crisp 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and the vibrant 13.4-inch diagonal centre touchscreen further enhance the premium ambience, providing a seamless interface for accessing vital vehicle information and infotainment features.

In a vehicle as formidable as the GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Special Edition, minimising distractions is paramount.
