PRICE and engine
- While the AT4 has a starting price of $68,000, the AT4X takes a significant jump in price, starting at $81,000.
- The engine is typically one of the largest influences on vehicle price, but the AT4 and AT4X offer the same engine options. Both vehicles come equipped with a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine, with 305 Horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. An upgrade to a 6.2L V8 engine is available, giving your truck 420 Horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
Wheel and Tire Packages
- The AT4 gives a refined style to its wheels and tires, with the ability to choose between 18-20 inch wheels. Tires on the AT4 are designed for all-terrain use but are slightly more luxurious in appearance. The AT4X takes on a much more rugged look, with wheels and tires that were designed with off-roading in mind.

Suspension
- Both the AT4 and AT4X come standard with a two-inch factory lift. However, there are some differences between the lift quality on each vehicle. The AT4 comes with a light duty off-road suspension and Rancho monotube shocks.
- The AT4X contains Multimatic DSSV shocks and dampeners. These DSSVs (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) contain three chambers: Two designed to work against your terrain and another that separates your vehicle’s hydraulic fluid from its nitrogen charge. These upgrades allow for the AT4X to perform in dynamic off-road situations while moving at higher speeds.

- The AT4X will bring some extra additions to your interior, including a heads-up display, upgraded leather seats, and a digital rear-view display. The interior also includes suede headliner, a power sunroof and Bose surround sound speakers.
