I have the ZR2 version of this truck and I absolutely love it. At $51k USD it was a little spendy but I think it is a great package in comparison to the rest of the mid size market with a ton of interior features and offroad capability. The infotainment is a definite high point. Of course it is a big screen and the wireless carplay works seamlessly but what I really love about it is the customizable shortcut bar on the side. The carplay runs in a slightly smaller window which leaves me quick access to my 360 cameras, music, vehicle status (temperatures and trip/mpg info), and carplay. The lighting selector is a little button on the top row that is always selectable and the lack of a lighting stalk has been a non-issue. In comparison, the new Tacoma offers the 14" screen but doesn't offer the customizable shortcut bar. It gives you an oversized view of carplay but anytime you need to view a different setting you are having to fumble around in carplay to get out of it. It doesn't seem like they added any capability to the head unit by going from 8" to 14" other than making everything twice as large. The 11" in the GM twins is a great in between size and is standard on all trims.
@@sammyjammy6647 It’s US $55k for a fully loaded Denali with taxes and all the fees. That’s about 67k in Canadian dollars. There are lower trims that start around US $40k. Tough to find any vehicle these days below that.
It's really funny to see Press Cars that I had one week end up at another place! I really liked the comfort and capabilities of this truck, but the software and weird logic to show/reset info in the dashboard drove me nuts.
I'm 6'4" and I have to scoot just a bit entering my 2024 Canyon. I added very "off roadish" running boards for the girls who could not navigate the extra height without difficulty. The turning radius is my only issue with the truck having come from a full size, short box Ram, (2) full size, short box 150's & (4) Broncos. The technical term (it's a joke). Thee 2.7 TurboMax is fun to drive and it seems GM has worked out the bugs. Cheers from Colorado, USA Oh, by the way, I pronounce Quebec the same way you do, which throws most Americans, I get a funny look, like I know something they don't...
. @PRNTestDrive Those look like Toyo GSI-6 tread pattern? I ran them on my old 2020 Colorado Trial Runner. My new Trail Boss may get those as well but these MT's are pretty decent so far in Ontairo
Wow dude your 5'11 and have trouble scooting into the AT4X... I'm 5'7 --- fingers crossed I don't need a step ladder. I ordered my truck without the running bar / boards / steps because my last truck was just always scraping my pant leg and getting my work clothes dirty every day... lol. Maybe the trucks are a bit over sized for me.... hmmm
I have the ZR2 and at 6'2 I'm able to step in without too much difficulty. I still decided to add the front steps because my GF at 5'7 had to climb in and complained about it every time! One annoying thing is there isn't an A-pillar handle on the drivers side so you are using the steering wheel to pull yourself up. I figure the side steps will probably save the seat bolsters as well since we aren't sliding off them. You should get ~$125 in GM rewards points with the purchase of your truck that you can put towards the steps. I do like the ZR2/AT4X step design because you can remove them with 4 bolts each if you expect to need the extra clearance. I only did the front set, because I rarely have rear passengers, and I think it visually gives the truck a little more of a pre-runner look to it. It makes it looks more like an extended cab than a crew cab. Either way you can't go wrong and they are very easy to add later!
Prices for the full-size pickup trucks have gone up considerably in the past year. We were looking back at the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali we did, even with $3k rims it was coming up to about $84k CAD. Today the same truck would be around $100k.
Crazy to think this is worth 30k more than my pro4x yet my pro4x will go everywhere this truck will! No thanks that’s insane for that Money best believe I’m getting a raptor or 2500 for 70K!
Was your pro4x in an accident or did you get it used My brother-in-law just got one and it cost them 63000 And the new ranger raptor is starting off at 75000
Quit saying little it is midsize,,, my Colorado Trail Boss looks bigger then my 02 Silverado when sitting next to it, not as wide but thicker taller truck
But that’s what it is. Yes they’re bigger than trucks of 20 years ago, but so are full-size trucks. They’re enormous. The segments adjust based on the products.
$55k for a midsized pickup? No thanks, GM and UAW. Nearly 7x what people paid 30 years ago. Inflation calculator says an item that cost $8,000 in 1992 should cost $17,508.25 today in 2023. So why do trucks now cost $50k to $100k plus? Because labor unions and foolish consumers.

Glad to hear from an owner, enjoy yours!
Awesome! Especially for those who think Tacomas look and perform kind of boring, like driving a paper bag. This has so much more presence and style.
Definitely does! We've been spotting lots more of them on the road after GM got things going with the deliveries.
Yeah but 70k for a mid size?.. why

Best reviews for trucks are in the snow
Sometimes we get lucky with the weather!
Such a nice-looking truck. I love that red colour. I ordered my new Cadillac CT4-V in that same red.
Great choice for a colour! It really pops on these vehicles.
It's really funny to see Press Cars that I had one week end up at another place! I really liked the comfort and capabilities of this truck, but the software and weird logic to show/reset info in the dashboard drove me nuts.
It's definitely a learning curve for some, at least there are still a lot of physical buttons... I'm looking at you BMW..
Well done. 🎉

Thanks for sharing! The engine on this does seem pretty solid, we haven't heard of any complaints about issues so far.
In the US the at4x only comes with MT tires from the factory. So not ideal for the snow. I'm assuming canda gets AT instead.
I believe so, but GM also puts winter tires on these vehicles as they're required by law in the province of Québec.

Nice looking truck but those are larger truck prices, Sierra. I rather get a less well optioned larger truck at those prices.
Probably not the only one with that opinion!

I like it but the comparitor vehicle is the new Toyota Tacoma which is likely a lot more reliable.
We're hopeful that we can get ourselves a Tacoma to compare! We haven't had much luck with Toyota but we're hoping for some positive news in 2024.

Truck prices are some of the highest increases, it’s nuts.
Worth about $35k max. Prices are out of control.
We agree prices are rough these days, but even compared with the previous generation this would have come in around $50-55k CAD.
70k LOL I payed 41k for my Colorado Trail Boss and I have same 430# torque calibration ! 30k more 🤯

Prices in general are crazy. A 2024 GMC Sierra Denali is about $100,000 CAD, whereas it was about $80k CAD in 2018 when we first reviewed it.

For the same price you can get an option-less Sierra 1500 SLE with the 5.7L if thats what you need.
Headlights only through the screen?
