We need competition to drive prices down, but I don't think Toyota has any worries. The 2024 Tacoma will maintain its sales lead over the Canyon/Colorado. These new GM trucks are a lot more appealing than the last generation.
It’s good to see an actual driving review of this new Canyon. So far there have only been Colorados being driven.
If you've seen a"Colorado" review, then you've basically seen a "Canyon" review, potato/potatoe tomato/tomatoe, also Chevrolet/Gmc I think you see my point.
same truck differnt skin
Love the new Canyons/Colorados, still waiting on the new Tacoma and Ranger to see how they compare!
Agreed, waiting for the new trucks, reviews to come out, and prices to drop.
Toyota is also in the business of selling volume. They aren't going to play the artificial scarcity scam, it should put pressure on GM and Ford to price these trucks appropriately.
@Jeff K one can hope. Initial decisions show they won't. Hopefully that bites them in the butt.
In the end they always end up going back to Toyota. Love it or hate it the Tacoma if you get a simple one will do one thing that fancy AT4 Z71 ZR2 trail boss will have trouble with. Lasting well after 100,000 miles. And not costing you a fortune when that digital touchscreen dies. I see too many GM electronic parts just crap out. With virtually everything controlled from that touchscreen that’s going to be a real problem
@Matthew Caughey I still drive my 2005 Colorado. Will be my kids car. When i get a new one, I'll look at the taco. But if they're still like the current ones.... underpowered, less comfy, less cabin space, worse mpg.... yeah... I'll look at others. The taco was the best option in 2015. They've remained the best seller due to low information drivers who settle for less because they live in the past.
The AT-4X HAS A 5500 lb towing ability. The AT4 has 7700 capabilities. Love the AT4. Want the denali with the 12 inch digital dash
Nice video also the light icon surrounded by red color at the top of the infotainment screen if you press on it it will bring up the options for lights too including Off,Auto,Parking ,Headlights .Just like it's sister truck the Chevy Colorado.
Wait, so this is the at4 not the at4x. This shouldn't be a pre production truck. It's available on the website.
Ford and Toyota have nothing to worry about. Went out to the GMC site and there are no available AT4 configurations within a 100 radius. On top of that the required $1,500 OnStar subscription makes me not want to look at this vehicle. Lastly the 4 cyl 2.7 Turbo has me worried about long term maintenance. I'm leaning toward the 2023 Frontier with the naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 as the better choice.
I agree with you, not worth it. Frontier will last longer anyway.
The 2.7 has already been in Silverado since 2019. Isn't 5 years without any issues enough?
They're not even at the dealers yet and you thought you'd find some available nearby? LOL. Also like the other comment said, this powertrain has already been in the Silverado and Sierra since the 2019 model and it's been fine. Pick whatever truck you like the best, they're all decent. But as of right now, these will have best in class towing and power.
They addressed a lot of the previous gen's shortcomings but then they created dumb things to irritate people with. The styling and suspension redesign is great and it no longer looks like a dorky high heel side profile but then they had to go and get rid of the light switches, diesel option and cab configurations.
I hope they gave it a beefed up rear frame rail section compared to the previous gen's small square tube frame rails under the bed. Based on what they did to beef up the engine, it sounds promising but cylinder deactivation is such a stupid idea especially for people that actually plan on keeping it after the warranty.
I like the look of the GM twins as I need to replace my 2004 Ranger, but then find out no physical light switch and no extended cab with a long bed option so they are out for me. I don't need the extra doors and need the extra length in the bed. Oh well, looks like the Nissan Frontier is the only truck with the extended cab and 6ft bed option available.
GMC advertises that the 2023 Canyon AT4 has 7,700 pounds of towing and a payload of !,550 pounds. Your reported numbers are much lower. Did you get your figures from the data shown on the label inside the driver's door jamb?
Nice looking truck. But it needs a headlight control switch.
Thanks Ben for the review. Have been going back and forth between the AT4 and the ZR2 since they're close in price. Was waiting for a real world driving review.
I originally wanted the ZR2, until I found out the local dealers were marking them up. I ordered the Canyon AT4 instead.
Nice job on the instrument panel Ben. I’d like to see the larger panel that is on the Denali….when you have chance. Thank you again!
I love GMC pick-ups!! I might buy this Ben.
What are your thoughts on how it might compare with the Nissan? Great review!
GM killed it with this new midsized
If I didn't need a full size for sure this would be the truck
Nobody else is even close
Rubbish, Taco is king of segment boy.
@@paulm6481 Taco is out dated, sorry bud.
Can't wait to take delivery of mine in 8 weeks.
Finally!!! Looks damn good too. Can't wait for you to review the denali and AT4X. hope you get to those.
Would love to see a 0-60 between the outgoing 3.6L and this new high output 2.7L. I’m sure the 2.7 takes the cake but by how much?? That 3.6 is snappy when you put your foot into it.
400lbs tourq it's a no brainer
Who really cares as long as it starts with a 6? I think it will be close. Same hp, more weight, taller, etc. I think the torque won't have much of an impact unless you are pulling something.
The rev range is the difference though. You have to wind that v6 out. Towing should be way better with the turbo4
@@NWI_Steel agreed, but both make peak hp at high rpms. 5600 vs 6800.
@@Steven-xj2rf tourq gets you moving fast that 100 extra will smoke the V6
The headlights switch being operated by the screen is a mayor screwed up.
How does that engine/exhaust sound in person? Doesn't sound all that great over my headphones.
And just like that Ford raised the game for powertrain options in new Ranger with the 330 hp 2.7 TT V6 and 430 hp 3.0 TT V6 in Raptor version.
Love GMCs AT4 line but i went with a 2023 Frontier Pro4x, 44k out the door. Dealers said a Canyon AT4 would run about 50-53k, that's just too much for a mid-size.
How's the Frontier treating you? I need to test drive both, if and when I can.
Don't see side mirror cameras when using the blinkers
Well that's a good looking truck and the interior looks amazing. Too bad it's probably gonna cost $60k....
I priced an AT4 canyon out with all tech pkgs and was 49k
@@kirkdunn1379 Still quite a lot for a mid size even for top of the line. Cant wait for this bubble to burst...
With bs and lies, prob have it marked up to 80.
@@kirkdunn1379 Colorado should give you all the same features for a little less.
The wheels are kind of phallic.😅
Lol
Wheels look like something you get at pepboys aftermarket but the rest of the truck is Very nice 👍 very sharp good looking truck
👍I was able to test drive an AT4 and liked it. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a homelink garage door opener button. The vehicle I'm looking to replace, a 2009 Avalanche, has one. What's up with that? Have to find my old transmitter! The Colorado's lack this as well. Thanks for good review.
I had a 2003 Avalanche, boy do I miss that truck!
@@timothyjohnson4028 Yes, its hard to replace. The craziness with the delayed GMC deliveries doesn't help!
The new digital gauge cluster looks cool, but i am surprised it's only 8 inches. The black voids on each side are really noticeable.
Denali and at4x have full digital gauges!
Thank you Ben. I like the digital gauges and the instrumentation layout. You got some good views of the trunk. The true test is to compare this truck to the competition and to see if there are any differences between this truck and the Chevrolet Colorado. A new Ford Ranger is coming too. The styling looks good, but I am not a fan yet of the lower headlight design used on many new vehicles because of dirt and rocks getting that glass/plastic and the repairs on the headlights. I recall when GM did that design with the Jeep Cherokee and then got away from it and everyone else is doing it too. Thank you for the first impression.
How are more rocks hitting your headlights? I live in Wyoming and am always on dirt roads and I have zero problems. Are you talking on like interstates? How would 2 inches higher headlights make any difference? My Ranger has 30K miles on it and not a chip anywhere in the headlights or floodlights.. Guess I don't get that. I have a chip in my windshield from a rock which is much higher than any headlight.
@@drn13355 I under your view point. I see broken and busted headlamps and fog lamps all the time. I live in a major metropolitian city in the United States. It is quite common. See this commercial:th-cam.com/video/KF3nGlDxDRo/w-d-xo.html
Doubt someone wanting a Toyota will say "hmmmmm i know... i want a ....Gmc"
Props for having it on XM Chill and Chris Malinchak playing
lucky they didn't put the mirror on the door lol
My Kia soul has a 2.0 4c. Lol. And now it's in trucks. 😂
Hi Ben. Between the Canyon AT4 and the Ranger Tremor! , which one would you recommend and why. Cheers and keep up the great work.
Dude! I like that truck and this is coming from a die hard Toyota guy...
Thanks for the review. Any plans on reviewing the Denali version?
I’ll review every package I can
I'm glad Colorado as well as the equivalent of the GMC to the z1 package has ventilation for the seats as well as the rear passengers getting their own ac vents.
I'll disagree with the title here. We all know the Tacoma is ancient and still sells well on reputation and resale value alone. And Ford has the Maverick, which easily undercuts the Canyon on price, regardless of how much nicer the latter may be.
The maverick, with most options is a nice truck....best handling truck I've been in...unless u need a full size, this is the best buy
@@andybales7318 Except the Canyon is a mid size. But I know you can easily option the Canyon's price into full size Sierra territory, which kills the value equation.
I still think Ford has the lower corner of the market all wrapped up to themselves, as no other automaker sells anything close to the Maverick's size and price point.
Like to see them drive the at4x canyon as well
What do you feel is the difference overall in drive comfort and storage compared to a full-sized sierra?
I like the interior better on the At4 but the wheel/tire combo on at4x looks better in my opinion. And I’m not a fan of the red/grey race look of interior on the X. What to get what to get. Gotta see the tacoma still I guess
Thanks Ben. Great initial review. Not everyone needs a truck that can pull 15k lbs. I ski and snowshoe during snowstorms, and need a capable vehicle to get me home after. Legit 33s, rear locker in the AT4, and unparalleled tech for $51k when a replacement Jeep for my 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland would be $70k. I’m definitely considering a Canyon.
By chance do you have any info on the front diff? I know the $60k AT4X has a selectable locker, but in the AT4 and Denali, is the front wide open, or is there a traction mgmt system (computer breaking) like the Jeep QuadraTrac system?
All that tech why would they make the rear window manual. I wanna get this truck but that just doesn’t make sense.
the turbo 4 cylinder doesn't sound like a monster V8 but it does sound good even with the stock exhaust can't what to see if aftermarket guys make it at least sound better.
All the 2023 Canyons have the third tune High Output 430 foot pounds of torque so I hope I feels great in those midsized trucks. My 21' Canyon with the same crewcab shortbed with the 3.6L V6 has 275 foot pounds of torque and it moves pretty good so I can't wait to feel the difference 155 foot pounds of torque makes!
Hopefully my next vehicle, had all the features I wanted on it, except I added the off-road package as well, came out to about 51k not including taxes, as opposed to other midsize trucks, yeah it’s expensive but you’re getting way more features than the competitors
for the price of a fullsize
@@650tonyd full price trucks now are in the high 50, mid 60’s. Trucks are getting crazy expensive
Is the acceleration noise common with the 4 cylinders?
Do you know what month it will come out in?
Hey Ben, how is the steering feel in comparison to the 2023 Nissan PRO4X (which I have and I loved since it BMW heavy and hydraulic)? FYI, I dont love my back seat and that is why I may buy a 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 or a 2024 Tacoma Fully loaded. Please let us know. Thank you for all your videos, I love them all.
I’m surprised how lifted the Colorado ZR2 looks in person. I bet this looks even better. I’m sure the price is scary though.
60k for a midsize is outrageous
@@louismccomack9524 $60k only for the fully loaded limited edition at4x. All the other at4x trims are around $50k
@@Garlander dealer markups would like a word with you
@@louismccomack9524 not all dealers have mark ups bud
@@Garlander most dealers have markups pal.
Why did you private this video
I really really like the looks of the new Canyon and Colorado but that 4cyl engine just sounds so bad. It also sounds like it has to rev so high to get going.
Maybe, but I like my normal aspiration engine especially in cold climates where i live (turbo chargers and cold climates dont like eachother, very suprised GM didnt keep the V6 as an option) and dont even get me started on the GM transmissions since allison left.
When people on forums or FB pages refer to "a" problem as "the" problem, you know its pretty bad LOL
Seats can't be more uncomfortable and hard compared to the sierra seats.
Are they going to do a hands on demo like they did with the Colorado? If they do they should invite you to it.
I’m not important enough to get invited
@@BenHardyCars You are in my opinion! Your reviews are fantastic.
I thought towing capacity was 7700lbs on all trims but the AT4X. And that’s still 6000 pounds. And only edition 1 package drops it to 5500lbs?
There’s a tow package you have to get for max tow I think, I could be wrong though
Believe it is 7700 for AT4
@@BenHardyCars AT4X is the same as a ZR2 which has 5,500LB max tow rating, the standard AT4 has a 7,700LB max tow rating as-shipped. If you don't have the receiver hitch then you can install one and get the same 7,700LB max tow as if you got the trailering package.
Toyota has NOTHING to worry about!
So this is essentially a nicer trailboss but below a Zr2??
👍 Hell ya buddy that's what I've been waiting for!!
Wonder which dealers are going to get the 3 being built this year?
Any way to drop tailgate with a button inside the cabin?
$50k+ midsize truck? Who's the market here? I mean it's nice, but even though I could afford it I'm not going to buy one. The off-road crowd who spends big money on midsize trucks will stick with Jeep and Toyota. How many people does that leave in the $125k+ income range that are in the market for a midsize truck? And why would they pick this truck? Oooooo 11 inch screen. And? 20MPG? Recycled 8 speed transmission? I don't get it. I can see the Colorado Trail Boss being competitive because it's a cheap off roader. But this? At this price point I think most people are either going to go full size or luxury SUV. I foresee a lot of these discounted on lots in December 2023.
I was starting to feel some regret about my recent Tacoma SR5 purchase while watching this video, and then I realized this costs $13k more than what I payed. I think I made the right choice.
I get why you would say that, but the tech and comfort is well worth the $13k. Toyota is notorious for being years behind in luxury/technology. Don't get me wrong, I love Taco's and how capable they are, but my truck will be 90% on road.
@@hewster1 fair enough, but $51k is just out of my budget. And I don’t believe GM will offer a very well specced truck for $38k
The new ford ranger is definitely on par with this but the tacoma is definitely getting shoved in the dirt
All versions of Colorado have looked better than that Tacoma but Toyota always wins with reliability and resell with Tacoma .. this is nice but 5 years down the road who knows where the trans will be
The new Ranger Raptor looks ridiculously awesome.
@Jeff K yes but at what cost $75,000
@@gordmonteath6090won’t be 75k. Going to say same as at4x.
So did seats get more comfortable
Wider seating so it’s not ww3 for arm rest
And did leg room get better?
Because as it sits right now jeep gladiator has best seating then it’s frontier and as the prices are looking I’d rather have a Nissan frontier lifted from the dealer than pay for a gmc
Remember when vehicles were tools for life and not life itself? Manufacturers really have a herd of dummies to ripoff these days.
Can’t companies start putting anti glare or dust proof non glossy digital / touch screens in vehicles ? Lol or is everyone okay with the dust magnets
If they offered a crew cab with a 6' bed, I'd jump on it. 5' beds are for garages.
are the seats bigger than previous models?
Did that guy have a 🔫 pointed at Ben or did he actually like this little pickup?
I know I like it. Seems like you get alot packed in this little truck. I do think it's priced right for the market but it's still $50k that's alot of scratch. I think GM nailed these, it's just unfortunate timing with everything so expensive compared to wages and the audience that this appeals to I think might be priced out of the new market.
We'll know if we see a lot of them parked in dealer lots towards the end of year. If not, people are still willing to overpay.
You mention 5500lbs towing capacity in the video, I thought the AT4 was 7700lbs?
It might be rated lower because the offroad package.
@@jeffk464 No, the AT4 doesn't have a reduced tow capacity. The AT4X has the same max tow as the ZR2 since they are the same underneath. Non ZR2/AT4X trucks have a 7,700LB max tow rating.
I can’t afford it but this is a pretty sweet looking truck.
I really like this trim..
Gm did a great job with the looks of this truck, can’t see the new Tacoma beating this.
The price point is there? Who can afford these anymore? Give me a break. starting at 45K for a midsize truck?
Love ur vids, I didn’t even realize I wasn’t subscribing. I am now✌🏼
My next truck for sure
Any sport mode
Junky 8 speed trans means stay away. Class action lawsuit against that transmission going on.
Really nice truck bit for $51k, I must buy a full size truck based off general principal.
Yup 51k is more than inflation pricing for this.
Lots of full sized are $70,000 to $90,000 purchase away!!!
If you're spending $51,000 on a full size you're getting a base model. I do agree though, I would rather spend a little more and get a gas engine 2500 pickup.
It’s just not smart to throw so much money into any vehicle unless you’ve got money to burn.
Not the base model full size. I can price a Silverado custom for $53k
Tonka Toy wheels look silly. Truck looks good but overpriced. MPG not much better than a "real" half ton truck. Engine sounds like a Hoover vacuum. I'll stick with my 21 RAM Laramie hemi.
The Ranger with its 2.3L seems to get a little better mpg's, while being less complicated. Don't know if this will hold true with the 2024 Ranger.
Not with everything digital on that console and GM’s reliability ratings compared to Toyota.
Thanks for the review. I am ordering one.
Your advertisement about the law firm is awful. Suing insurance companies only costs everyone more money. Insurance companies are not stupid and always make a profit. You should feel bad promoting this on your channel. Make it about car reviews like you are good at. I guess "stay in your lane".
I disagree.
With all the transmission and lifter failures GM has had IN the last 10 yrs , I would never buy a new one u less it had 90 000 mile warranty
yeah ill just stick with my 2018 Tacoma, why upgrade because of a nicer screen and better looking interior.... ITS A TRUCK
A very good looking mid size pickup. Can't wait to see the Denali "Bling".
I can't wait to get mine 😍
They need the little duramax in it
2023 GMC Canyon AT4 2.7L Turbo Crew Cab 4X4
I was considering one of these trucks until I found out it has the cylinder deactivation system. It deactivates cylinders 2 and 3 when at highway speed.
NOOOOOOOO WHY GM?!?, Even for the high output tune ?
Yeah, its only a 4cyl seems bizarre. This engine seems overly complex, not sure GM and complex is a good match.
No it doesn't greg .it only deactivates when you come to a stop and keep foot on brake. Have another snickers
The good news is, it doesn't have lifters like the V8's(5.3 L and 6.2 L). On the v8 those failed quite often. This engine has been out since 2019 and I have yet to see any in the shop here. We even have one customer that is pretty hard on vehicles and they haven't managed to break it.
Oh My! I just spec'd out the Canyon AT4X. Goodness gracious. I don't know how the two will compare as far as suspension goes, but the AT4X is much nicer and aggressive. Wow!
$51k! steep for a midsize.
What is that white F-150????
I think they're gone too close to full size prices. I think they should have dropped the 8 speed transmission and stuck with the 10 and I think they should offer to diesel.. But I do think the Canyon looks better than the Colorado.
Yeah the 8 speed is unreliable, I had a Colorado with it. Nice at first and within a year it started going south. Had to get a Tacoma and I don’t regret it. First Toyota I ever bought and it rocks!!!
It's a 2nd gen 8-speed, hopefully it resolves the issues of the previous 8-speed.
@@hdfxst1521 Well, if its going to go south, you want it to do it while still under warranty.
Home run by GM. Power, style, tech, comfort.
That is monster torque for such a tiny power plant. Impressive.
All thar torque comes at a cost, drastically reduced engine life
@@matthewcaughey8898 I am curious....the engineering team would know this and design the internals accordingly. It was designed from the ground up to be an FI system. Maybe it is not so bad.
The strangely low tow rating would keep most users from using much of that torque.
No lockers 😢
That front end does look like a Toyota Tacoma hate to say it but yes and I'm sure people will complain about the fact there's no switch for the headlights.
Well Ben, you seem a little biased in your comparison. Canyon is a truck with a
Pathetically small bed. It doesn't have a manual transmission option, resale vale is poor after 100k miles iif it is still running. Despite GMC valling itself an American car company half of their trucks are made in China. You failed to mention any of this
