When it comes to imported full-size pickups, first thing people think of is Ford F-150, but today's protagonist is also popular in North America and even ranks higher than F-150. GMC Sierra AT4X. Based on regular Sierra, 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X can be seen as a link between F-150 and Raptor, has stronger off-road performance and certainly looks more aggressive.

The AT4X version uses piano black color scheme, which is more mighty.
