I understand the short box on the AT4X model but I'm still disappointed with the fact that the other models now only offer the short box. I like a 6 foot bed on my midsize truck and I can't see myself buy a truck with a short box!
It’s a very limited edition hype truck with all the things. Manufacturers use these to showcase possibilities. Most folks will get something more reasonable.
Good looking truck and capable off road package. But feel that most people won't be taking a $66,000 vehicle off road. If you do take it off road and break something, good luck trying to convince the dealer that you weren't driving off road. Most of these trucks will be pavement princesses. Lol
I drive a Gladiator Rubicon. Sticker around the same as this Canyon AT4X. I've been taking my truck off-road from day one. I know plenty of others. Sure... we're the exceptions. But you absolutely see these getting driven directly from the dealer lot to the trails all the time. Otherwise... let the pavement princesses owners be the first owner.... just means you can buy one at a cheaper price down the line and it'll still be fresh.
I agree but I sure put that to the test and when the dealership asks I just tell them…don’t build an off road truck if you don’t want me taking it off road, haha
In 2022, I saw an ad for a 2016 Canyon 4x4 with 100,000 Kilometers on it. It was at a Volkswagen dealership 4 hours away. The salesperson told me it was so badly damaged that they normally wouldn't sell it to an individual buyer but instead to someone who repairs and flips vehicles. It had minor dents on almost every body panel, broken mirrors, the paint was missing from above the wheel wells and it had minor surface rust underneath the truck and on the exposed metal on the wheel well lip. To me, this was normal 4x4 wear and tear, and if the price was right, I was going to buy it. Then, after all the warnings about how damaged it was, she told me the price was $20,000. I had to walk away because of the price, and the picture online was an extended cab, but it was a crew cab. The salesperson said they just pulled a picture off the internet. It was worth the trip because I learned that the second generation Canyons are made of good quality steel to only have light surface rust. I learned that the paint is prone to peeling or flaking off probably because the surface wasn't prepped properly. I also learned that if you use and damage a modern 4x4, it will have no resale value.
I don't hate on people because they can't afford a truck. I was there too once. I drove my first truck to over 300K miles. But the constant complaints are tiring. The new Canyon is the most luxurious mid-size truck ever. The AT4X takes that luxury and also adds on a ton of off-road capability.... OF course this is going to be an expensive truck. Even for a mid-sizer. This is still upwards of $20K cheaper than a Sierra AT4X. The Gladiator Rubicon when fully loaded also pushes that $65-$70K range. When the Ranger Raptor arrives I promise it'll cost this much too. That's reality. You can't have literally the entire catalog of parts and options and not expect to pay top dollar.
The AT4X looks nice but I honestly don’t think people will take an expensive truck offroad like that until it has some age. It’ll truly get used for what it’s designed for 10 years from now and hopefully it’ll make it that far.
Great looking truck. I really like the muscularity and all the fender panels and the windows are turned up like the old ones. The tent is small and even you would be in the fetal position all night. 66,000 us is a good full size price and I would likely go that route.
$66k. That’s absolutely INSANE. I paid $35k for my 22’ Canyon Elevation. With taxes, title fees and other tacked on BS it came out to just under 40k and that was a kick in the nuts but still 26k LESS than this thing. It ain’t worth it..
You got the lowest trim level in an older generation and don't have anywhere near this trucks design, power, capability or tech. Yes, it's worth it. A '22 AT4 will cost you $44k and it's only discounted because they want to get rid of the old generation.
@@hewster1 Let me correct you on a few things- First, I DID NOT get the lowest trim level available. That would be the Elevation Standard. I got the Elevation, which is the comparable trim level to a Colorado LT, and I picked it up for $3k below MSRP because I had a late model sedan I traded that was paid off and they gave me mad money for it. It was not discounted, and NONE of their inventory was discounted at the time. $38k is a lot of money for a mid size truck I don’t care what you think. So $44k for a truck is BIG money, especially in this economy. Which brings me to my second point- they’re not pricing ANYTHING on these dealership lots today at a “discount”, not even the used vehicles 😂 But I suspect that WILL change as the economy continues to flounder and these stealership lots start to overfill with inventory they can’t move. Unless gas is 10 dollars a gallon and a loaf of bread is twenty, $66k for a mid size truck is PRICE GAUGING and DOES NOT accurately reflect inflation. I don’t care if it comes with a microwave oven and a butler. So I’ll say it again proudly.,IT AINT WORTH IT..😎
@Evil Monkey trade in doesn't equate to lower msrp. That was just knocked off of your trade in value 🤣. By your definition, I got my '23 AT4 for $20k since my raptor was fully paid off and I traded it for $36k. You got an elevation, it doesn't matter what extras it had, it's the lowest trim. That's two statements that show how naive you are. And it absolutely is worth it. Maybe not to you, but to me it is. $38k, $44k, $50k isn't a lot of money to me. I don't start thinking about how it could affect my daily spending habits until I get near the $85k mark.
Wish Gm would allow the bull bar and winch on all the trim levels 66000k for that truck I can buy a power wagon with a v8 for that price. The other thing wrong with this truck is there is no up fitter switch to add extra lights.
It’s not greed if they can sell them. He said they are already sold out. If people didn’t buy, then they wouldn’t make such expensive trucks. It’s the consumer’s fault.
I love the look of this truck but I have reservations about the longevity of a 4 cylinder being used to haul heavy equipment around. Especially in areas that have a lot of steep hills.
I've been watching alot of Video's of Andres New Colorado. It's made me want to get A GMC Canyon elevation or AT4, in the same yellow he's got, I love that colour. But i'll get cruise control on mine. I will be checking out your video on the 8th for sure.
The review was going great until I saw that stupid rooftop tent! Keep up the great work guys, glad to see your expert camera man is with us once again.
A lot of great things going on there, and it's beautiful. But a payload less than a 1000lbs is just no bueno and I don't think even a non-1st edition is going to be competitive at that price.
Gorgeous truck but reality is setting in with consumers, Pre-pandemic four years ago this kind of money bought you a Silverado LTZ or Sierra AT4, now it buys you mid-level trim mid-size pickup with a 4 banger.
I think that about Wranglers. These jacked up vehicles with large tires do have some presence to them, but it all gets put into perspective when you then see a full size pickup with the same treatment.
@@SaltyDog69 Ya that's the problem. You load for a weekend camping trip and you could easily max out the truck. Why have a truck if it can't haul at least 1,500 pounds.
There’s a ton going for this truck that I appreciate, not a fan of split headlights, and definitely hate that this has 10 lbs more payload than my 86 Buick Century T Type. All for a similar price to a well equipped F-150 Tremor.
@@zzmkdw I figured the First Edition might take a while, but I’d assume the regular AT4X *might* come out a bit sooner than that. Guess we won’t really know for a while.
Here in Edmonton Canada annd close proximity about 8 total dealers have about 4 elevation and 1 or 2 At4 . Thats it Their websites total maybe 19 more " in shipping " but I'm following every few days and "in shipping " has been over 3 weeks now. Talked to salesman at large GM dealership asked when their Colorado's come in ( they had none on lot) he said they had ordered bunch and advised few supposedly built but no shipping date yet and he said they expected a month to receive, that was yesterday talking to salesman
Great video gents! That is one loaded-up truck, with the factory winch etc. I am surprised that GM doesn't offer any engine choices. Maybe that's a segment thing, since it seems all other manufacturers offer only a single engine, sometimes with different tunes. Nevertheless, gm's truck division generally has a generous number of engine configurations. Nice lifestyle vehicle, for the buyer with a well-padded bank account. Tiny bed, tiny payload, less-than-awesome towing, loaded for off-roading. How long until it breaks down? Are GM small turbo engines well-known for reliability? Duramaxes yes, small gassers not so much?
There is a video where the guy that designed the engine said it has internal parts that were copied from a diesel engine. Some of the internals are stronger and supposedly more durable. There have also been problems with Ford and GM half ton trucks overheating when pulling heavy trailers on hot summer days. Only time will tell if these trucks will be reliable. I will be watching the Canyon/ Colorado forums to see what owners say about these trucks.
The new Chevy trailblazer is a piece of s***a 3 cylinder motor can't even get out of its own way lol GM has really gone downhill in my opinion within the past decade
GM is condemned to repeat the past. Why would anyone buy this truck when they can get a well equipped for size for the same price? Oh, yeah and a manual rear sliding window at this price?
Roof top tents are expensive, heavy , cost MPG and off road capability , harder to exit "after a night of drinking" . and it makes no difference to a bear . 🙂
They might have screwed themselves sadly they made it a full size truck it got so popular cuz it was a small truck like a Toyota Tacoma, but now it's full size we will see how this goes 😂
This is literally no larger than the prior gen which was the same size category as a Tacoma. The only dimension that was significantly changed was the wheelbase is longer because the front axle got pushed forward. Which improves handling on and off road and improves the front approach angle. But the length of the truck is basically identical. Same with width.
Truck looks good. Rims! Not so much. Could they not come up with better looking rims than that… also. People aren’t going to like the 4 cyl turbo. You’re gonna have to,stay in the throttle to get the benefits of the turbo, and then there goes your gas milage…oh well. Not a great idea just having 1 engine choice IMO…..
I understand the short box on the AT4X model but I'm still disappointed with the fact that the other models now only offer the short box. I like a 6 foot bed on my midsize truck and I can't see myself buy a truck with a short box!
Ford Ranger offered a 7 foot bed back in the day. I do miss the old midsize Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota :(
100% agree!
$66k! Thats wild! With a decent interest rate and taxes, you'll be at $80k for a mid size 4 cylinder truck.
It’s a very limited edition hype truck with all the things. Manufacturers use these to showcase possibilities. Most folks will get something more reasonable.
Thanks Truck King .. you guys are doing a great job 👏👏👏... Have a beautiful day Everyone ✌️
The depreciation on these will be monumental

You're allowed off road. Unless GMC is funny about stuff. My Nissan Frontier and Pathfinder both have off-road sections in the manuals.

Nice timing...just woke up from after-work nap.. Right on Steve!!!
Can’t wait to watch comparisons with the new Tacoma, Colorado/Canyon, Ranger, Frontier. Just waiting for the new Ranger & Tacoma.

Love that truck color. Look forward to seeing one in person.
The interior in the canyon looks nicer than the Silverado
Gotta love the gun fire in the background! ‘Mercia!!!
I figured someone would notice! Local gun club was just around the corner and they were having fun out there all day.
Good looking Truck. Wish GM had used full LED lights in the rear for such a high end vehicle.
A lot of great things going on there, and it's beautiful. But a payload less than a 1000lbs is just no bueno and I don't think even a non-1st edition is going to be competitive at that price.
Very nice truck, but the PRICE! YIKES!
Lemme know when they make a full size box
great looking truck but 900 payload?!?!, whats that 4 friends and a dog
nice looking truck
We all know GM and their fantastic long lasting 4 cyl turbo bangers, now at 66k $$$ LOL
Any one got a part# for the front pumper you put on that thing. I'm kinda not wanting to order the wrong stuff on line like I usually do.

You did not show the back seat.
Ouch, that payload capacity of under 1,000 pounds is bad. You could darn near max it out with just 4 guys and no gear!

Yes... its a lifted off-road truck with mud terrain tires. That's how physics works. Tons of air resistance, tons of rolling resistance, etc.
Tent on a rack accessories are because mid size trucks can't pull actual campers. 😂
You get a mid-size truck to go down tight off-road trails... places you would never take a camper anyway.
50-60k for a small truck, that's insane! If you need it I guess, or you could buy an Audi.
