The 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 Is A Segment Leading Midsize Premium Truck
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2023
- With the midsize truck segment once again heating up, #GMC wants to make a big splash with the all-new 3rd generation #GMCCanyon for 2023. Just like the Colorado twin, the redesigned #CanyonAT4X and #CanyonDenali represent the top of the hierarchy, while the #AT4X is the first time we are seeing luxury and off-road capable come together in the smaller #Canyon. All versions of this truck also come standard with the high output 2.7L turbo engine making 310 HP and a best-in-class 430 lb-ft of torque.

Nice review $52k for a 4 cylinder turbo. These trucks are getting pricy.
Ridiculous prices
Something that all these commentators fail to do is talk about CURB WEIGHT which can lead to misinformation. The Curb Weights of the 2023 are much heavier throughout the Trimm lineup the Elevation is 4300 lbs which will make this trim the most peppy and also give it a much higher payload. The Denali for instance weighs 4800LBS and the AT4 tips the scale at 4500. It is really absolute incompetence at this point with these supposed gurus of TH-cam. This idiot raves about the older V6 being faster which is simply bogus. That prior v6 would be an pure slug with these heavier curb weights
@@dr3uu what’s ridiculous about it? The Ranger Raptor *starts* at $60k. Let’s see how much Toyota wants for the Tacoma. Y’all are always crying like babies about pricing.
@G- Rated
What are you talking about, the raptor starts at 90k. Stock.
@@dougmckay232 he said ranger raptor, not f150 raptor
One small thing I always appreciate about your reviews is you always show what the hazard lights look like running.
Just watched numerous reviews and without a doubt, yours is one of the best. Getting tired of these reviewers who guess about specs or flat out give incorrect info.
The price jump on the Canyon removed it right off my shopping list. I had a 2019 GMC Canyon V6 4x4 in an Extended Cab with the convenience and tow packages, as well as the spray-in bedliner. The sticker was $34,500. The 2023s are now starting at about $43K now and you only get a 5' bed and no option for an extended cab. The reliability of my 2019 was a nightmare. The AC had to be replaced three times in less than three years, and the transmission and transfer case also needed warranty repairs are well in that time. GM was a nightmare to deal with, in summer 2019, the truck was 3 months old and the AC failed the first time. It then took GM 53 days to replace the AC, and only after my state's AG got involved. GM Corporate representative was unapologetic and was actually downright rude about the whole situation. At the prices GM wants these days for these trucks, it is a hard pass.
Thank you. You just made decision to stay away from GM much easier. I was considering the Denali, but hesitant because I had an early 2000s Chev Monte Carlo that had multiple problems as well.
Just wait for the Tacoma
@@liamcarp7113 I think the only thing I liked about the old V6 was the cylinder deactivation, which was seemless, and provided some surprisingly good fuel economy on the highway and especially on 50-55 mph country roads when I was not towing/hauling anything.

You betcha! 4cyl turbo...that'll last a long time. ...NOT!
“Not very precise in terms of feedback, but it gives you pretty good precision” 😂
The price jump though 😬
At least one thing is premium, the price
@@LANDIIIIIOFIIIIIFIRE Because I struggle to see what else is "premium" about it. Whatever premium even means.

@@MercOne Are you blind?
@@G-Rated Are you stupid?
Nice truck and ideally all I need but I went with the Silverado and 3.0 liter duramax. Love it!
Always love watching your reviews!
Poor Rob!!
Keep up the great work!
Now GMC needs to come out with a Maverick competition just to have a smaller truck than what used to be the small truck. 👌🏼
Yes this very much yes
If they did it will be Unibody construction.
Many people have a problem with digesting a Unibody pickup truck.
It's not a real truck they say.
I don't mind we have Ridgeline.
GM would have to look at any cannibalizing of sales from midsized trucks.
They came out with one this year it'll be sold in Mexico I believe
I have a highly modded 17ZR2 and yesterday I test drove a new AT4. The interior is very nice compared to the Colorado. Seating comfort was on par with my ZR. The 310hp L3B 2.7t was about the same as my tuned 3.6 LGZ. Good looking truck. I may have a chance to get in a AT4X.
I love and want this truck, but like others the price is a little hard to digest. My dad bought a full-size Ram Rebel in 2018 for $47k (yes, I know-pre-COVID, but still), and both the Canyon and Colorado can push into the mid-60s. The Bison versions are probably gonna crest $70k. Good lord.
Also, I know not everybody cares about these things, but the hard plastic on the top of the doors is really unacceptable. That seems more like old school GM, which (for example) once decided against giving the Yukon Denali real wood because they didn't want it to step on the Escalade's toes. As we mentioned, these trucks are NOT cheap, so the interior should be reflective of the price and not some stupid hierarchy that GM's trying to maintain.
I have a 2023 ZR2 on order, pretty much loaded save for Desert Boss pkg, $55k.
Excellent review, skilled host. Thank you.
Just a great review! Still thinking if I should get the canyon at4 or the at4 x. Im not a fan of the seats in the 1st edition at4x trim, but thats just me.
SOFYAN AND ROB .. busy busy 👏👏👏😁....have a beautiful day Everyone ✌️
7:16 i spy Andre from TFL team in the background 🤣
I have to say these trucks including the Chevy Colorado are the best-looking mid-size trucks in the market today. They look more masculine than other pickup trucks out there. I'm talking to you Ranger and Tacoma.
I own a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado High Country with 6.2L. I test drove a 2023 GMC Elevation model which is the base Canyon model for the GMC line. As my Silverado is the pinnacle for the Chevy 1/2 ton line, I was very curious about the new Canyon/Colorado series of trucks. I was more than pleasantly surprised at this base model in almost every aspect. I loved the smaller size right away as it was so easy to pull into spots compared to my Silverado, of course. The engine was quite peppy but to Redline review felt more like a diesel in the way the power was delivered. It's nothing like my 6.2, but nonetheless very peppy and certainly up to most any task. I'm seriously considering downsizing. However, I'm more interested in the AT4 model me thinks at the moment. Just the right combination for me at this time. But still in consideration at this moment.
I like that front and rear locker
Materials are still too cheap for the high price. I've been completely priced out of the truck market with prices getting more absurd every year. I think all truck manufacturers will figure out very soon that they've gotten too damn greedy because there are precious few buyers who can afford these insane prices.
Excuse me sir, but that is the point. When law makers said they will phase out and ban gas vehicles, and you wonder how, this is the answer. Raise the prices on things they want gone to a point us plebs cannot afford them. You still want a gas car?? No problem, just pay 100 dollars for 13 gallons of fuel. No need to wait for automakers to wake up, they'll just stop making them.
@@snowblind. You think the law is doing this?
@@peterg6953 ever heard of the green new deal?? Maybe read the 1000+ pages that was passed. Cali and Washington already set a date. Every month since January gas tax is increased 2 cents. Beginning month(January) was an initial 10 cents. Starting Jan 2025, it will be bumped up to 5 cents a month. Target tax per gallon is 10 dollars. That's not even mentioning vehicle production.
@@snowblind. And this has caused the prices? Not quite adding up, Theodore.
@@peterg6953 D LG says it's greed. Now I would agree if these over priced vehicles were selling like hot cakes. If you are not selling, you are not making money. So how does that add up?? I've heard everything from corona, to supply chain. Both of which have run their course. So what shall that leave: either greed or........ inflation. Now which of those two add up?? Incase you didn't get through the 1000+ pages of the American rescue act, I'll give you a spoiler: money machine go burrrrrr.
Love it in at4x in silver
Nice Nice little Truck very nice dashboard by general motors
52k is not similarly equipped full size money. Let's be honest. That is like saying a 3 series costs the same as a 5 series (since the top end of one overlaps with the bottom end of the other).
For 52k you could get an equally nice very low mileage ram rebel that has a hemi in it and much more space inside and in the bed. 🤷🏾♂️
@@DeeboComing
Where the hell are you? All the full size truck brands start at 60k where I am I’ve seen larimes go for 80k on the 1500 along with 90k f150here in Florida.
@@DeeboComingThe problem with full size trucks like that is you can no longer park them in a standard garage My garage is almost 20 ft long and I can't fit a full size in there and my rule of buying a vehicle is that it has to fit in my garage. I'm not paying a lot of money for a vehicle to let it sit outside in the weather all the time
Really like the design and tech upgrade, but that backseat and MPG kills it for me
The mpg is for the lifted version, the Toyotas get terrible mpg too. If only they would have kept the diesel, but at least you have a ton of power, that's a good trade off imo
Who buys an off-road, lifted truck for mpg?
@@docholliday7548 lmao no kidding
Backseat room seems similar to other midsize trucks, but it’s hard to tell in a video
I would agree with the backseat.
does it have a locker or is it electronic 4wd or better said AWD?
The best double cabin pick up
Not even close
Small clarification. Goodyear calls these 'maximum traction' tires, not 'mud' terrain. Probably a little better than the Territory ATs, but i wouldn't consider them true mud tires like KM3s.
Nice truck.
How do you go from a 6 to a 4 and get 17 in the city and 21 on hwy?
Light switch for headlights is a must. If the display/computer fails, how are you going to use the lights if not in auto mode. Who knows if it would even work in auto mode. I work in a part department and see stuff like this happen. Depending on how it’s all wired, you’d be surprised what will not work when it fails. Nice truck though. 😃
It'll work
I think the difference in fuel economy is due to the air dam that isn't on the 2023 truck
I really like the look and capability of the at4x. The interior layout is also nice. White leather/ vinyl in the most off-road capable trim, dumb. The new Ranger Raptor has now been announced and easily competes with this truck. Good choices for the midsize truck shopper.
Is the spray on bed liner a factory option or dealer installed option?
factory option
18:37 Does the current gear that the trans is in appear on the screen?
When placed In manual yes
Very nice. Too much emended in a touch screen and the AT4 needs a rear locker as standard. And what about the mpg. Drive train is “improving” yet fuel milage is somehow still lacking.
The truck went from volcanic red tint coat to desert sand color lol😅😂
When the camera was panning in at the beginning, I thought it was a Hyundai Santa Cruz with those divorced headlights.
It is much nicer looking then a Tacoma 👀
You said it’s the more luxurious version of the Colorado Z2
About how much more does a similarly configured cost compared to the ZR2?
Why downsize an engine that gets no better mpg? I’m sure they have a reason.
EPA government communist forcing evs down our throats
Just to show u if it wasn’t for those crooks we would have v8s v6 etc is all a scam is not like they get 10MPG more to change to a shitty turbo
Way more torque.
Cold start up emissions is why you’re getting more smaller boosted engines, catalytic converters need to get warmed up to be more effective.
Some of us actually use the boxes of our truck and I need a 6 foot box. Sadly, I’m gonna have to drive my 2015 Canyon until it dies.
GMC needs better wheel designers
What colour is that!?
How does a standard sunroof need an upcharge? Huh?
At the start of the off-road portion, you stated you were previously driving the Denali. It was the AT4.
cruse control on higher trims that's crazy
Adaptive cruise control .... Cruise control comes standard I believe
Great looking, but tight rear seat compared to the comp. Also not a fan of turbo 4s for a truck.
whats with the white inserts in the x model,,,*L
A A-pillar grab handle at all four doors would be nice. Plastic on top on the doors where you place your arm is not good. One steering wheel shown said Denali the other said GMC.
Nobody places their arms that high up on the door. GTFOH
a powerless window on the back glass is almost as same as it doesn't exist when driving alone.
Incandescent turn signals in the taillights are unacceptable at that price point!
A lot of manufacturers are doing that. I been watching a lot of 2023 Honda Pilot TH-cam reviews.Someone mentioned same. Watching New Pilot and its new Trailsport trim anticipation of new Ridgeline.
Because for mere $2500 you can get all LED lights with the optional tech package 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m pretty sure it’s probably due in no small part because incandescent bulbs and halogens generate some heat which helps keep them defrosting in cold snow/freezing weather, LED’s run cooler in comparison.
8 speed with a turbo and still SH*T MPG. smh

Y’all are working overtime to find faults with GM’s new mid size trucks. Clearly they focused on power and not efficiency. You can’t name another 4 cylinder engine producing this kind of power. So now your complaint is fuel economy.
I don't see anything "Premium" about this over the Canyon honestly.
No locking diff for that much money?
Just got on the GMC page and the AT4X is almost $60k
I'll wait for Toyota to see the new Tacoma since I'm on a short lease on a Nissan frontier 4PROX
AT4X isn’t $60k. That _is_ where the Ranger Raptor starts though. 🤡
Could've sworn there is a locking diff
Has auto rear locker.
The light controls being in the infotainment screen only is baffling.
Bud, I think it’s time to go bold 😂
Oh yeah because people buy their vehicles based on the bongs/chimes 😂
need small pickups back, put these engines in those and tou have some work horses. these are the same as 20 years ago fullsize
20 mpg hwy for a midsize truck??? are they even trying anymore?
honestly doesnt appear that way. doesnt help theyre cranking midsize to even bigger than previous fullsize
Very soon the only way to a new model is to wait two years and buy it used...
That 2.7 sounds way to corse and drones under certain rpms for my liking, no thanks!
The bong chime sounds like it’s a Subaru 😬
What continues to surprise me is some of the features they leave out of their trucks...or offer versions without, especially for the price. Like mentioned, the cheaper Colorados that don't come standard with a tilt steering wheel....or the fact that all the lights on the Canyon are LED....except the interior, brake, and reverse lights. Strange choices in 2023.
I would buy this if it wasn't for the horrible MPG. 17 city! Yikes, that really Sucks!
Did you just say this truck does not have cruise control?
Radar/adaptive cruise control...
Cruise control is standard.
Radar/adaptive is either optional in a package ("Technology package, $950) on on-Denali and it's included/standard on the Denali.
GMC outdid themselves with the redesign of the Canyon. I can’t wait for the Sierra to receive these updates, the steering wheel, stalks, etc. I honestly can’t decide which i like better the exterior or interior design. This muscular and masculine styling completely stands out from the rest of the segment, even the Colorado which also looks pretty damn good now.
Sorry, but LED lights is not an upgrade- I prefer halogen 😏
Imagine driving this Truck just to get Milk & Eggs at the grocery store. XD
Also leading the segment in breaking people's wallets.
I thought the 2.7 turbo would be quicker so yes the V6 was quicker 0-60 in 6.1sec from caranddriver
Makes no sense.
I was thinking the same thing! I think what's going on is that it's got the same tuning as the bigger trucks ( 5.3 and 6.2). GM uses torque management and it kills the 0-60 time if you brake torque it!! I tried it on a 1500 Denali 6.2 a couple of years ago, If you just stab the throttle from a dead stop the thing rips, but when I did a brake torque, it almost felt like it went into limp mode??
Facts matter. Previous Colorado ZR2 w/ V6 0-60: 9.1 seconds. So the 2023 ZR2 is FASTER.
The LT1 was 6.1 seconds. As you can see, apples to oranges.
Not enough room.
Wuz up with yalls hairdues??😂😂😂
I'm assuming you mean hairdo but your illiteracy kicked in?
That's a decent truck. But can we please, automakers, stop with the screen-for-main-controls-BS?
For example fog lights in infotainment - the rotary switch on the turn signal stalk cannot be that expensive to engineer etc. If you need fog lights, likely visibility is worse. Do you really want people's eyes off the road for that?
It'll only get worse, and they don't care because they are all competing for the future
@@larrysimth9077 Yup, it's a race to the bottom of usability and safety behind a wheel. It boggles the mind that there's not a distractino test of some sort. How in the world are cell phones banned, but screens of 3x the size to control your HVAC are okay?
@@richardnavratil9661yea and the screens are getting bigger the new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has a full dash screen
@@larrysimth9077 Oh yeah, saw that review by Redline. Arguably, there it did look distracting and not at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense. But if I remember correctly, they kept some physical buttons, but I could be wrong
0:20 - "Very popular GMC Canyon"
Well... its the worst selling mid size truck in America, I wouldn't say popular. But I hope it gets more popularity, it's much nicer than a Tacoma!
Lost their minds on the price. Absolutely not a sale to me.
The 4-banger groans its way to a 7.1 second time. Now that's what I call premium.
Has the pretty numbers, so the truck is overweight.
Doug Demuro said in a recent review he has noticed that boosted fours don't feel as strong
as a similarly-powered six. The numbers can be the same, but something is missing.
its the weight, needed better engineering in that department
You're taking your off-roader to the track? Impressive!
This new GMC Canyon’s front end looks awkward with its headlights. The Chevrolet Colorado looks way better.
Fords chimes take the cake for most annoying !!
So smaller backseat than my Ridgeline, slower, and worse mpg with its “fuel efficient “ turbo four lol…. And it will wear out sooner and brake cause let’s face it…. General Motors.
Your Ridgeline will overheat the transmission while hauling 20 sheet of plywood.
But hey, it's a nice grocery hauler
@@XloMotion Fantastic grocery hauler. Wrong about the overheating as usual but hey keep hating.
You’re talking about a unibody glorified minivan with a bed versus a true body on frame pickup truck…😂 I’ll take the true pickup truck every day and twice on Sundays but I don’t have a problem with a car based truck it’s just not for me.
Body on frame trucks and SUV’s last way longer than car based crossovers/utility vehicles.
@@rlhmarines depends I guess what you mean last longer.
Soyfan were you drunk? Those are brand new chimes for GM since 2020.
Oh this new face lifted Nissan Frontier looks nice lol 😂
Boy Nissan wishes they looked like this.
What kind of world do we live in when a mid sized truck costs $70,000?
The chevy and gmc are essentially the same truck...
How is this like a sierra?
If the dash was like a Sierra ok, BUT it’s not as nice as the Sierra
The dash on the Canyon is nicer than the Colorado
But the dash on the passenger side is gross looking, especially on the Colorado
Pricy and who takes a $60k truck straight to
The mud like that
I'd take a Sierra over this Canyon. More usable space and a V8
V8 with lifter failure lol
No v8 at this price point for the Sierra
@@XloMotion they’re just saying crap at this point.
Why is the GMC more expensive than the Chevy?
That AT4x is absolutely hideous with that white and red racer boy accents. ZR2 vs AT4x, The ZR2 wins. Any other trim i would go GMC. I wonder if youll be able to retrofit the GMC LED headlights into the Chevy somehow.
WHAT A HATER 😂
You can't retrofit it unless you buy a new fender, weld on the fender upper fender brackets as the GMC are different, and weld on a lower bracket that's added to the GMC that the chevys don't have
Looks like a tiny man on that full size truck
Mid sized trucks should not be 50K.. Full sized trucks should not be 60-80K... Stop buying them, they will come down
Nah.
20mpg highway from a 4cyl?... I'm surprised the goverment doesn't regulate this kind of crap in 2023. The canyon is supposed to be the small truck in the family.
why does the government need to get into everything?
but i do agree the 'midsize' truck seems to be bigger than previous fullsize
I don't think Gm understands what "premium" means.
So who gets premium better than GM? Which midsize truck is more premium than the Canyon? I’ll wait…
@@G-Rated you can’t call something premium if it isn’t premium. The ranger is by no means premium but you can at least option it to have less fisher price materials than the canyon. The frontier is slightly more premium in quality. The Mercedes truck for sure is almost premium. Gm just doesn’t do premium well. Their “premium” is mostly standard at this point.
@FluffyShark Datazz I've driven one, and it definitely feels premium then the COMPETITION which it Competes with. I don't think the canyon in no way shape or form is competing with mercedes as that is a luxury brand
Only for another 2 weeks. Until everyone will just buy the Tacoma. And forget about Colorado and canyon.
You have to be ignorant to buy that over the new 2024 Tacoma.
No you don’t
The new Tacoma will be a gigantic disaster 😂. Itll be a huge letdown just like the sequoia LX Tundra were.
The Colorado canyon and upcoming ranger are already better options
TRD Tacoma are just better
2024 Ranger is going to be better than this too
@@naveenthemachine dude are you not tired of trolling toyota 😮😮😮, I will still buy that Tacoma over any GM products
I would buy Canyon over Tacoma if I wasn't a Ridgeline person. Tacoma is a young man's play truck. They get the attention because they have large aftermarket support for guys to tune accessorize.
Here is a business decision for you: i wont buy a mid size truck if back seat cant fit kids and bed is too small to be useful.
Sounds like a minivan is more appropriate for you
I agree, however if you have a family with kids, I don't think the typical buyer would be looking into a mid-size truck, I think a full-size would definitely would be the way to go. I'm a single guy in my 20's and this is definitely something I'm looking into, haha
@moondog3056 No, actually this truck with a 6.5' bed and 3 more inches of rear leg room would work.
@Joe People do buy Ridgeline for this. Looks like the backseat is still smaller than Ridgeline.
nice
Meh. Get a Tacoma.
Pickups are lethal weapons for fellow motorists and pedestrians. And about one tenth of them are used to perform real work. The US would be much better off if there were a 100% tax on all pickups that not used for commercial purposes - eg by farmers,plumbers, contractors.
when you put your money into what i buy MAYBE you could have a reason to pick my property for me, until then, you can legally require yourself and only yourself to buy all the trash evs you want
@@bradhaines3142 setting rules about what property people can own and how they can use it is the foundation of a civilized society. Zoning prohibits people from building a hog rendering plant next door to your house. And hunters can’t kill squirrels with a TOW missile. Pickup trucks are TOWS. 😂
if we actually had small trucks and kept them at stock ride heights they would be fine for pedestrian safety, an adult would actually fall into the hood. I can't help but see sofyan standing next to this mid size would be hit in the chest and run over
Tacoma is superior in every way.
