    Absolutely pleased, and impressed with my 2023 Colorado ZR2. This truck is solid, engine is FANTASTIC and a joy to drive. Price & mpg is what you pay for Rubicon level capability. Just one man's experience...and opinion.

      I have a Jeep Gladiator (Rubicon) myself, but the only other "top-dog, seriously off-road-focused 4x4" mid-size truck I'd consider is the new/improved Colorado ZR2. Were I looking for a full-size truck, I'd check out the Silverado ZR2.

      The dash on my 23 AT4 doesn't have that much movement. The doors do but it's not something I noticed. Owning the truck since July with over 5,000 miles on it, my only true dislike is the start/stop. I turn it off every time I think of it but wish it could be disabled permanently. This thing tows my 21ft boat very nicely. There are always going to be small gripes but I'm overall happy no question

    Another video concerning the tailgate situation found water in there. So for Pacific Northwest region good luck hatching green moss. The hitch missing is odd and I am curious why is it missing on this highly capable truck? Is it due to another cost savings? Is it a inexpensive dealer after market add on? Or is it to rain ground departure ground clearance.

    You are right that most of your issues are nitpicking. I always have a few with any vehicle. The doors are a real issue. Hopefully the software will be improved with updates. I do think the fog lights need to be with the headlights, not down another level but i don't mind not having a physical switch with s automatic lights.

    I prefer the more aggressive ZR2 Colorado. GM should have made more of a distinction on the exterior, between trims on the Canyon. They all look the same. AT4 and AT4X should stand out more from the rest of the Canyon lineup. I agree on the rock rails. According to GM, they can support the weight of the vehicle and are durable regardless of being mounted to the body.

    Completely agree with backseat utility....it sucks. Biggest rant I have. Let's face it, not many people are going to buy a mid-size to haul people. So, most owners will use the back seat for cargo. And GM failed miserably. Fold the seat up to maximize space and you have this giant floor fixture sticking up so nothing like a box (case of beer) can fit easily, or anything else. Absolutely worthless. Of course, some idiot will say "Use the bed dummy, it's a truck!" Not always available and not as secure or weather protected. Besides, why give me a backseat if its only use is for small passengers? Kids grow up you know....

    @ferretsmiles 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    A lot of these are kind of dumb complaints. GM couldnt put an all windows up button because of safety regulations, you dont want an accidental swipe to suddenly change whether you are in 2h or 4h. Early MPG is useless because the engine has not been properly broken in yet. Aside from reviewers moving some lesser used features to the screen is fine.
    Other reviewers tend to explain things better or give caveats when talking about an engine that hasnt been broken in.

    • @GTGarageTalk

    I was curious about the packaging of the AT4 trucks across the Canyon, Sierra 1500, and 2500. A Canyon AT4 comes in around $50k but a Sierra 1500 AT4 comes in around $70k and a Sierra 2500 comes in just over $70k. I’m not sure why they package the 1500 so close to the 2500. I would expect these trims to all hit around $10k over the smaller model. Also the only gas engine option for the 1500 is the 6.2 and it’s also priced above the duramax option. I think they should really consider putting the 5.3 in as an option.

    I started out disappointed for you, as I knew you liked this truck (on paper) prior to the test drive. It sounds like you were good with the mechanicals, but not the features and some materials. The dash squeaking is not unexpected. This has bugged me for years in many GM vehicles. Good for you to point out these annoyances. The perception of quality goes down with each misstep.

    Yep, this definitely isn't for you, and the reasons you listed for buying it (fitting in driveway and driving around parking lots...not kidding) solidified that fact. We buy these for tooling around the northern mountains and navigating the southern sandstone in Utah. The shock system alone is a big win for GM, and the power they generate from these lighter 4 cylinder engines is excellent across the power ban. Where you go wrong is not realizing the vast majority will have similar priorities as you, while those of us who will actually take this off-road more often than rarely to occasionally, will wait for the legitimate after market parts to come out.

    Well thanks. Talked me out of it lol. Seriously like the looks of the new Canyon and was considering "downsizing" from an F150. But you've helped confirm what I suspected all along; its simply not worth getting rid of my fullsize pickup. I wanted to SAVE when downsizing. Whats to SAVE here? NOTHING! MPG? Nope, my F150 crewcab twin turbo v6 averages low 20's all day. Price savings? Nope again, as I paid the SAME money as this AT4 for my crewcab 4x4 F150. Garage space? "Maybe", but we are talking a foot. That's it. A foot shorter overall than a CREWCAB short box fullsize F150, and 4 inches on each side narrower. Big whoop. I still couldn't use my garage any different than I do now. BUT, the "feel" inside between the two IS huge, however; the F150 is massively bigger inside in every way. Which equates to more comfort. And it seems built better. Even the turning radius is similar! So in short; to me, there is no "savings" at all in a midsize truck versus fullsize. And my engine with more horsepower and torque actually gets BETTER gas mileage. It's a no brainer now. Thank you.

      They really don't make it clear on the build website that the truck will not come with a trailer hitch if you don't order the "Prograde Trailering System". I've never even really thought about whether a pickup truck will come standard with a hitch or not, its a reasonable assumption that it will. I will use the hitch; for a bike rack and an extend a bed. I'm not paying them $800 for a 2" receiver hitch.

If you are, opt for the trailering package. You can't put all four windows back up due to safety regulations not an oversight by GMC. Btw the AT4 is moving to a full gauge cluster for 2024.

    Things the manufacturers changed that I, and probably most people, did not ask to be changed and absolutely hate.
    1. Switch to electric power steering from hydraulic (Yes, everyone noticed it and hates it.)
    2. V6 engine to 4 cylinder engine.
    3. Digitization of everything.
    4. Lowering of steering wheel and dash (positioning is identical a prius and make drive feel like they're driving on top of the car, rather than inside).
    5. Smaller rear door window. (Why slop the bottom trim upwards? Makes look cheap).
    I should note everything that changed saves the manufacturer money in production even though they charge more now. Good job from the shareholders, that is if you magically sell them.

I don't know man-- I had a '21 and just bought a Denali '23 Canyon for the wife. Every complaint I heard could be summed up with "I should have got the Denali trim". On your tow hitch point I feel like you are forgetting human nature-- If they give access to a bumper ball, someone somewhere is gonna try and put the 7700lbs to the bumper, which would not end well. Putting an Express Up button to all 4 windows is asking for a lawsuit when someone's kids rolls up the window on his sister or the family dog.

    I'm in a leveled 2019 diesel Colorado 4x4 long bed LT on 32" tires and the spoiler removed and it still returns 27 mpg highway so the new Colorado can't compete. I'm considering a new truck but it would be either the Silverado trailboss 3.0 diesel or I'd go back to Jeep for the Gladiator with the 3.0 v6 diesel while they're still offering it.
    I wanted the Colorado trail boss but the terrible fuel economy that can be matched by the Silverado trailboss 5.3 v8 and those simple controls hidden within the problematic infotainment system are deal breakers. GM attempted to hail marry the competition but missed a tremendous opportunity to deliver a real hybrid or a 2.0 diesel based on the 3.0 from the Silverado, either would have helped it compete. The 4.3 with a 10 speed is a far better choice than the current offering as a truck engine and would have delivered better economy and reliability than the 2.7 T. AND GIVE ME A LIGHT SWITCH AND TRIP METER BUTTON! They spent a ton of money and made too many questionable choices.

      @@bobbysmith9411 glad to hear about your owner's experience. Every press vehicle I have been around on this platform has had squeaky doors and interior bits. Just got out of the Colorado Trail Boss with the same issues.
      As stated several times in the video, I *desperately wanted* to love this pickup because I wanted to buy one. After this week with it, I decided it is easier for me to wait for them to work out the details. I will say, after having a $73k Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (another vehicle I was shopping for my family) I have a more favorable opinion of this nearly $50k pickup. I guess I am just getting old and cranky. 👴🏼😂 I still remember my first Silverado, a 2007 2LT Texas Edition with leather and a V8 for $37k....

    Just saw a video where the owner mentioned he had multiple imperfections in his paint on his canyon at4. Can’t imagine spending this much and having QC issues like that.
