Sierra Denali EV Edition 1 Gets a Rugged Upgrade

The GMC Sierra Denali EV Edition 1 is already rewriting the rulebook for electric trucks—so we figured it was time to give it the 4×4 Outdoors touch.

While the stock 24” wheels scream modern luxury, they’re not exactly trail-friendly. That’s why we swapped them out for a set of 18” Fuel wheels, giving this electric powerhouse the space it needs for a meatier, more capable tire. The result? Better clearance, better ride comfort, and a truck that’s ready to get dirty without sacrificing style.

We paired the new wheels with Toyo Open Country A/T III tires, one of the most respected all-terrain options out there. These tires deliver a perfect blend of on-road quietness, off-road grip, and long-lasting durability. Whether you’re carving through gravel roads or commuting across town, they offer all-season performance without compromise.

This build proves you don’t have to sacrifice functionality for flair—or EV innovation for off-road credibility. The Sierra EV already comes equipped with advanced features like 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk™, and our upfit just makes it that much more capable of taking the road less traveled.

At 4×4 Outdoors, we specialize in unlocking the potential of every platform, whether gas, diesel, or electric. This Denali EV is a bold step into the future—and it’s ready for wherever that future leads.
