Very nice truck but I think $65k for a midsize truck is crazy
A 65k truck with off road suspension, wheels, and rubber. Get that done aftermarket and you're talking 15k easy. 65k is a lot for a vehicle that will probably deprecate horribly. That said, equip a half ton similarity and double the price.
Well it's barely midsize anymore. Autos are out of control on size and price
I agree totally. Domestic truck prices have gone insane and that is the reason in many parts of the country there is an abundance of inventory. Sadly, not here in TX.
@@bmstylee Still doesn’t excuse what amounts to price gouging. These numbers DO NOT reflect real world valuations. $65k for a mid size truck no matter how it’s equipped is absolutely insane.
@@CalvinHikes....aaaand so are fullsize. FS trucks still make these seem small
$65,000 for a midsize truck? That’s just insanity. My refreshed ‘22 Silverado RST 4x4 6.2L Z71 was about the same price, $60k after discounts.
And the equivalent midsize truck with your RST is roughly 10 grand less. The full size equivalent to the AT4X 1 Edition is 80 easily
Right, $65K for a 4 cylinder econobox. So over $25K more than the base trim and the same identical 4 cylinder.
Who smoking what at GM?
@@fredpinczuk7352 it's just absurd, right?
RST is just base model with some exterior upgrades
@@grizzlyman329 You’re actually wrong. It’s a sporty version of an LT. my truck has 360° cameras, Blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, leather, sunroof, want me to keep going?
New vehicle prices are insane
Problem is not that the prices are ridiculous, but that people pay them. Leaving frugal-minded folks out to lunch
Blame the federal government
@@leviandhiro3596 imagine thinking this only applies to America
@@_chipchip imagine thinking this wasn’t fabricated by entire g7
Prices are ridiculous. All by design. Welcome to the Great Reset.
OEMS have done away with entry car production for the US. They hardly sold anyways and making $5,000-20,000 per vehicle is a lot more attractive than $300 on a decontented base trim or a Focus/Cruze/Dart. Plus screens, sensors, more automatic features and connectivity, they’re building cars that still sell in spite of the fact it isn’t attainable for many. People need to get accustomed to buying used. Which frankly, is what most of the people like myself and people like you already do anyways. Let the wealthy handle the depreciation on a 2-year lease,,,, then we get our hands on em
It’s American corporate greed, as long as dumbasses that will never need a truck but want one because they feel bigger about themselves buy these things then the prices will be sky high. 95% of trucks like this will never leave the pavement and do what is done in this video.
Prices are stupids
Midsized pickup starts at $38k 😂🤣😂🤣
yeah you can get a base F150 for about the same!
Yeah. Vehicle prices are a joke
@@Chrispbacon99 the joke is the federal government creating 5% - 8% year or year inflation, these companies can't print their own money...
Absolutely ridiculous pricing.
You think that’s bad. I paid $20.00 for a sandwich and cup of soup the other day. Transitory inflation my ass
Midsize? That SOB dwarfs full-size trucks from the 90’s
Blame all the safety regulations for the bloat in size. I would rather crash in this than in a 1980s Ranger or S10.
I loathe the increasing size of these vehicles. If I want a full size truck I can buy a full size truck. But where can I buy a small truck? I can't.
Thanks to CAFE regulations. The larger the footprint the easier it is for manufacturers to meet the EPA's fuel economy rules. It's the reason we no longer have small pickup trucks and was the death of the U.S. made sedan.
I’m actually liking this more than I would have expected
Same, except for that price!
Nice Truck, but like John Davis reviews so much better
I always say no john, no thumbs up. Good luck phasing him out guys. Your show dies with john!
Ugh! Why do they keep making 'Midsized' trucks bigger and bigger? They are now the size of full sized trucks from a couple of decades ago!
Lol this is why I bought a used 2018 PRO-4X for under $25k instead of something new. These prices are insane!
I have to commend MW for their less than 30 minute videos. I know this is just a preview, but all of their tests are under 30 minutes which covers most of points that I interests me. Thank you MW.
Which is fine if you're interested in the truck. But not fine if you're interested in watching car reviews for liesure. Which is going to be 99% of their audience.
@@CalvinHikes Well to me, car reviews should be kept under 30 minutes as well.
The price is kinda shocking.
It's not cheap but you're getting 15k of suspension and wheel package. So a fully optioned midsize is in the 45k or so range.
Last time I checked…our economy sucks..so let’s price New vehicles above the average…
Way overpriced but should be a great value in 5 years
Would you want that in 5 years? Suspension and tires will be crazy to repair/replace. And that glass touch screen looks like a disaster waiting to be fixed.
@@bmstylee the over complicated direct injection turbocharged 2.7 with cylinder deactivation could be a headache after warranty is up. That could be another major expense to deal with
@@bmstylee The 4bangerturbo will not last that long Better trade before the warranty expires!!!!!
Might not be any good in 5 years
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE IT!!! THAT IS ONE BADASS WORK-AND-PLAY TRUCK!!!1 GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. PLEASE KEEP ME UPDATED ON ALL YOUR TRUCK TEST DRIVES.
Car manufacturers are gonna need to bring back basic vehicles. I love my 91 s10 with manual locks and crank windows and what air bag. Hey im still alive.
Sorry but there is almost zero market for a stripped out vehicle. Even work trim vehicles people want some amenities.
And they keep increasing the size of these small trucks. I paid a thousand bucks for my 87 Nissan in 1998 and I still drive it. 25 miles to the gallon.
Everything functions fine. People aren't asking for these new vehicles but as long as they keep buying them that's what they're going to get
@@CalvinHikes Your opinion just doesn't really matter. Keep being used.
@@jmin8400 keep being used 🤣
@@markj2838 "Mr. Used", voice to text sucks on Android and omits text.
I’m a bit dubious about the long term reliability of a 4 cylinder hauling heavy loads for extended periods of time.
Really? We are now at 65k for a midsize????
I really wish they'd put the 5.3 V8 in it.
65k it had better come with the new Z06 engine
60+ for a small truck?! People have lost their minds.
It starts at $38k, unlike what the comments below suggest. It can be optioned with nearly $30k of upgrades, up to $65k. I've never seen under body cameras offered before. Honestly, this thing is a little too good, but apparently, you can get it pretty basic and cheap-ish too.
It looks awesome, it looks very capable. The engine might seem small, but the power figures aren't small, and this is most likely the same engine that the Silverado/Sierra and Cadillac Sedan use.
I am a Ford guy. But I want this over a Ranger
$38k starting and $65K for a top of the line atx..... that's the punchline to a joke.
You mean $65K
65k for a mid size oh the times we live it
For these prices, one can go out in the market, pick up a decent used V8 full size truck (for a little more $$$), and have more all-around ability and reliability. American turbo-charged vehicles tend to have problems.
I haven’t heard great things about the Canyons/Colorado’s
american? better check in with Honda's 1.5l turbo. they denied it forever and a day as well
@@trumpet12345 Honda makes one bad engine, and you think they should be lumped into this group of turds?? Their engine manufacturing is pretty much unmatched--everything from well-performing lawn mower engines, F1 engines, and aircraft engines. Hard to criticize them for one mistake.
Good luck on getting an affordable used half ton. Even stuff from almost 10 years ago sells for silly money.
new full size with the same equipment lot more $$$ go look
Hate me for saying this. In my personal opinion this truck is a recipe for mechanical and electrical disasters. I seriously hope to be proven wrong, because it's one badass truck.
Those touch screens are screaming to break. Probably about 6 months after the warranty expires.
@@bmstylee
What tech are you buying with touchscreens that break? I've owned like a dozen+ devices with touchscreens over the past decade with VERY heavy use and the touchscreens all still work perfectly. It's not the 90s anymore, and these vehicles use automotive-grade touchscreens (unlike automakers like Tesla) which should last the lifetime of the car (20yrs+) unless you smash it with a rock or something.
I have a 2020 Colorado. My touch screen went unresponsive. Dealer replaced under warranty. The truck was barely 2 years old at the time.
@@belizetj
That sounds concerning! Hopefully that was just a fluke, touchscreens don't typically break unless physically damaged.
@@CrazyWeeMonkey Bet they weren't a GM product
The 8" gauges look a bit ridiculous in that cluster... What was ever wrong with "analog" gauges?
It's much cheaper to make a lcd panel than it is to make actual gauges. It's hilarious that they charge a significant amount more for that 'upgrade', though.
Edition 1 starting at $65K. Coming soon to BaT
Sounds like an advert.
They generally do. This is the problem with car reviews if they bad mouth or are even remotely honest about the vehicle than those companies won't loan them their vehicles to review anymore. So they just generally say nice things and nobody gets an honest opinion.
Moreover, some of the car reviewers are literally paid by the car companies. Kelley Blue Book does reviews and has part ownership in some of the car companies. It's all lies. It's just for entertainment. We're watching ads for entertainment
I got the last V6.
Last year I bought a 2022 Toyota TRD Off Road with a manual transmission for 39K. I got it so cheap because it does not have leather seats, sunroof, navigation or heated seats. It still has all of those safety features of collision avoidance, parking assist and blind spot monitoring. Why do they cost more, for so much less?
2024 taco trailhunter!
If this truck was smaller and had a manual transmission I would buy it because I'd love that solar flare yellow color
Love the truck!!!!!!
Mpg sucks
Hopefully Baja mode actually gives rebound control so it can take some desert mogels at a good controlled clip
They can rot on the dealer floor’s for all I care! That’s ridiculous prices!! I’ll keep my paid off Jeep Wrangler! I’ll have more fun than that thing!
Is this a Chevrolet commercial or what
the prices on things now are ridiculous give me a break 65k for midsize truck hell no.
Fatalities by people being hit with trucks has increased 70% since 2002 to because you cannot see over the hoods of these trucks
I like this truck, but I will stick with my '03 ZR2. Low miles, I keep it well maintained and gets me to the mountains and ski slopes when I need it to. Bought it in '07 for 15,000 it now has 110,000 and I could probably sell it for the price I paid for it. But I am going to keep it.
Disappointment lack of body style choice, like the new Ranger. So odd, the less choice we get, the more unaffordable they are.
In the past couple of years since it's introduction,the L3B turbo four has proven to be a terrific performance engine. From the Canyon/Colorado to the Cadillac CT4, has to be GM's best powerplant of the past decade since the LTG turbo four.
I'd like a Canyon AT4 please!😁😁😁👍
Why tf is it getting bigger
If you have sat in one they are tiny inside. It's basically my old 2001 Ranger in a fat suit. An inch or 2 of additional shoulder room would be nice which is why I haven't replaced my half ton.
Because people want them smaller and they don't like people
Regulations.
@@James-ne3lc regs are definitely playing a role with the bloating out of cars.
CAFE regulations.
I just can’t wrap my head around a 4 cylinder engine in a truck like this. Why not offer a large V6?
Everybody’s talking about the price I just SPECT one without all the extra bumper bullshit for 56,800.
I will stick with my Toyota Tacoma and I bet my truck will make 300,000 miles or more.
Same here!
Anything can go 300k plus - how much money has to be pumped into it to get there is the question
@@lg740xx LOL Please don't confuse the guy with FACTS.
For what their asking for this I'd rather get a Tacoma and I'm currently driving a 2003 Sierra.
Nicely done
So am I the only one who doesn’t need or want a crew cab? No single cabs or even extra cabs offered …☹️
Not willing to part with my money for this. These overpriced vehicles will probably sit like the other trucks sitting on the lots now
The dealers deserve to have unsold vehicles on their lot because they order the most expensive versions of these vehicles instead of the base models which are priced lower which would sell
If they could make a street version and call it. Cyclone
This is a compelling alternative to the all new Toyota TRD PRO.
GMC should make the unibody Denali concept from 2008.
Gorgeous truck but by comparison you can have a Nissan Pro-4x loaded for 48k with V6 motor or Tacoma for less with superb reliability.
Order now for 2024 deliveries haha
$65k ?? Thats duramax $$
Cool looking but nah gimme a nice reliable boring Tacoma
The economy is in shambles. Banks are tightening their lending standards. Several bigger banks have gone belly up. Dealership lots are overfilled with unsold and unsellable cars AND trucks. But yeah, let’s price our “new” mid-size truck in the stratosphere where an increasingly larger and larger segment of the population can’t afford it..I guess GM wants another bailout?
When Obama bailed out General Motors in 2008 he said Rick Wagner had to go because they were producing huge vehicles that were too expensive that nobody would buy ...now they're back to doing the same thing
@@dampergoldenrod4156 Well said, and absolutely true. Can’t fix stupid..😂
right hand black ; reflector court isn't jeepers keepers
that cayenne let him tail you about it
vampires umphires ; dampers great durability
random : goalies and pinstripe don't mix
is thing on? goalies and pinstripe don't mix
canyons
Absolutely love that solar flare yellow color but I am not going to spend $40,000 for a base model truck because I like a color
I would watch this video but I’m not rich. Just middle class. They don’t make cars for me anymore.
They gave it the ugly slanted wheel well opening the full size Sierra has. Does it have stop/start & does the engine shut off every time ur stuck in the mud..haha
GM stacking cash from importing chinese built buicks too. Im only buying used from now own.
❤ Toyota Corolla GR ❤️
Hopefully the width gives a bit more space in the cab. It's basically as small as my 2001 Ranger inside but in a much bigger body. I'm not a big guy but my shoulder smashes into the door frame. The main reason I haven't replaced my hand ton.
Incredible! GM is hitting on all cylinders! 👍🇺🇸
🫤 Cylinders?
Nice truck great features for the price. Winner
I'm just going to go buy a base
Tow 7000lbs with a little 2.7 turbo 4?🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yea for how long and how will it do in the hills?
Since when has a 130" wheelbase been "midsize"? 🤣
the front end looks horrible. like a Hyundai SUV copy. add to that, the insane price.
A Frontier offers better value for money.....and reliability.
NICE BAD ASS I WANT ONE
And you can have one for $50,000
@@CalvinHikes yeah that's what dreams are for. Lol.
Just watched the movie Otto near the end of movie he bought the most gorgeous Chevy Silverado EV. Why did it never go into production anyone?
Most people do not want a EV because the Gov is forcing it on us Damn Democrats
Introducing the 2023 canyon, the latest assembly of rust prone steel and brittle plastic from a barely viable government motors corperation. It comes with a fake instrument panel or a really dismal looking fake instrument panel along with a high strung twin turbocharged 1.5 liter 3 cylinder thanks to government regulation mated to a 10 speed grenade-o-glide transmission . We loaded the CV joints up with mud at a journalism event hosted by GM that had no influence on our glowing review of this future junkyard queen. Prices start at an unreasonable 38,000 but if you want somthing like what we have expect to pay the equivalent of one semester at an out of state liberal arts college.
All that money for a rust bucket! No thanks, got screwed enough by the big three. THANK YOU Elon Musk for the stainless steel Cybertruck!!!!
GM has sold less vehicles every year since 2016 or so. When are people going to notice prices are too high? Who wants to pay for "a bit of Denali-like luxury" ? The price puts this combustion-engine truck right in the jaws of the base Cybertruck, which will be less expensive to own.
"Every year since 2016." Um, three years of Covid shutdowns and parts/labor shortages.
Cybertruck has yet to actually become available
@@devinbiz so?
(deliveries start in 4 months)
terrible engine choice. They should have offered the Diesel! That's why people like me bought the previous generation..
Nobody wants a turbo gas 4 cylinder
About 20k overpriced ...
poor powertrain
Electronic water pump made in China.
2.7 🤷🤪
Amazing, paying compliments to the severely overpriced kind of mid-sized truck, with no more V6 engine All I know this for cylinder is built to be a turbo blah blah blah, in a long run every Toyota Tacoma well outlast every GM competitor, I worked for general motors for over 25 years and watch them deteriorate into what they are now, the whole troupe of being counters in every design of every model that they produce, I will get me wrong I'm not a Toyota fan but know a lot of people that have them and they just keep going as long as you do your maintenance, these will not last as long, and the price tag is an insult.
Gee, nothing like a $ 65,000 truck. F-ing ridiculous
Give it a few years and you'll be grabbing a top of the line one for 20k😂
I hope they sell the new Chevrolet S-10 Max in the US. Mexico has it and it’s a Chinese truck and a cheaper Colorado
$65,000 dollars for this garbage? With that much money I can buy a nice lexus or an acura. Baja just means down in Spanish it does not mean deserted Land or trail. Back in the 1700s California was part of Mexico as everyone knows. So there was California state (USA now) on top of the other Californias ( the mexican Californias) BAJA California North and BAJA California South. BAJA just means under or down. The two Mexican BAJAS are under the USA California.
Unless you've tested this vehicle you wouldn't even know if it's garbage or not
Such a rip off 😂
Buy a Ridgeline. Will last forever.
Definitely a great looking truck!
No V8 mean boring.. sell to dem
2033 ahhhh remember the good old days when you could buy a midsize stripper pick up truck under $100,000.00.
2023 Crazy todays vehicle prices!!!!
