2017 GMC 2500 HD All Terrain X

Nothing telegraphs a three-quarter pickup's prowess better than a blacked-out, butched-up model with an off-road suspension.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new 2017 GMC 2500 All Terrain X.

As the latest member, the 2500HD joins GMC's All Terrain X family alongside the Canyon All Terrain X and Sierra 1500 All Terrain X. In this instance, it brings with it the Z71 off-road suspension package from the All Terrain package, an underbody shield and an Eaton locking rear differential.

The X, meanwhile, could stand for "X-tra stuff," although the extras, in this case, are more for appearance sake. The goodies you can file under this category include:

• 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels
• Goodyear LT275/65R18 Duratrac MT-rated tires
• Model-specific body-color grille surround featuring an "All Terrain" insert
• Door handles and bodyside moldings painted to match the body
• Black power, heated and power-folding trailering mirrors with built-in turn signals
• Heated steering wheel
• Leather seats (heated in front)
• Adjustable pedals
• Wireless charging
• LED rear guidance lamps
• LED amber clearance lamps
• Belt moldings, front bumper skidplate and B-pillars finished in black
• Black side steps
• Black bed-mounted sport bar
• Black spray-on bedliner
• Black all weather floor mats
• Front and rear park assist
• GMC IntelliLink with 8-inch touchscreen
• Remote-locking tailgate
• Remote start
• Rear view camera
• Teen Driver (the feature, not an actual person)

Offered either in Black Onyx or Summit White exterior colors on the Sierra crew cab 4WD, the standard engine will be a 6.0-liter gasoline V8, while the new-for-2017 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel V8 will be offered as an option replete with an SAE-certified 445 hp and 910 lb.-ft. of torque.
