“The tire, relatively speaking, is pretty small.” We’ve definitely come a long ways. It wasn’t that long ago that you had to do some pretty significant trimming to get a 33 to fit on a midsize truck, now we have a 35 inch option. This is probably the coolest thing about the AEV and Colorado/Canyon in my opinion. Hopefully GM can iron out the electronics!
the AEV looks like an amazing truck. My only issue just from watching this video is the vertical mounted spare in the rear. Wish it was side mounted instead of against the cab. Looks like it blocks your rear vision. According to GMC website, the Canyon AT4X AEV is roughly 66,600 depending on options...
I never understand how in aftermarket upgrades from the Manf they charge near full price for it. You didn't get to keep the extra shocks, springs, bumpers, wheels and tires, they did. So the price upgrade for a set of wheels and tires should be the difference, instead it is massive marked up.
Ask them about the AT4X glitches. So far my cameras work intermittently same with the blind spot monitoring. Cluster changes to KM/H then back to MPH on its own. Adaptive cruise brakes with nothing in front of it. Really love the truck but the constant electrical issues are making that hard to do
Same here, weird small shit going wrong that isn't dangerous but annoying. The cameras randomly not working is usually bc of the yellow cables that run into the doors coming loose. They can do that for me if I go somewhere thats really bumpy. Had the cluster shift to kph once too and I still have no idea why it did that, really weird. Its great and the lockers make it unbeatable but GM qc and weird shit make it annoying at times. Still love my edition 1 tho, not like its GM who's only having qc problems this year.
@@Offshore1977 the GMC uses the camera and not radar adaptive cruise. Apparently they forgot to nitrogen fill the camera. So now I have moisture in it that is causing the issue
@@Badselfeater they had to completely reprogram my computer and IP inorder to fix the kilometer thing. My front camera has moisture trapped in it. I know with the Colorado they had recessed pins causing the blind spot ghosting. Now I have horrible wind noise from the front windshield. Luckily I filled out the gmc survey and they are now working with the dealership trying to get all my issues resolved.
Keep in mind the standard 1500 has the aev bumper which is why the package is $3000 less. So 9000-10000 more likely. The 1500 and 2500 also didn't upsize the tires and have to change the flares.
IM torn on which truck to get. Currently have23 AT4 Canyon and wish I had bought the higher trim. Love the Edition 1 trim on the x, but when you already at 65 why would you pass on 70 for AEV. My problem is the spare tire located now in the already small bed. Its placement prevents my tonneau cover with t slots to not be installed. That eliminates my truck CVT tent and rack system. If I remove the tire and tire mount and lay the tire in the bed, basically the 35 tire will take up 90% of the bed. No good for other needed camping equipment. Any thoughts of a work around? I know, first world problems.
On the website when you do the builder option, there's a roof mounted basket... you could throw the spare up there. Or if you opt for the camper shell, you could mount the spare on top of that as well. I already went through this issue in my head too lol
My 2019 diesel ZR2 cost me about 46k out the door and I thought that was a lot. I put 30% down. I dont know how I'd be able to afford another easy 10k or more for a newer model. Its impressive but geez these are getting expensive
I'm curious what trail that was. I didn't recognize it, and I have been a few trails with the Skyliners 4wd club here In Northwest Montana where I live.
Perhaps truck companies should focus on one or two models of purpose built midsized trucks for offroading and make full sized and work trucks cheaper for the rest of us. I'm sorry but an 60, 70, 80, 90 thousand dollar pickup trucks is bad for our wallets and economy.
@@robertopics I'm not saying that consumers bear no responsibility in this, on the contrary. But " conspicuous consumption" is the driving force behind America Capitalism. Without the constant psychological pressure to consume, spending naturally slows and fiscal responsibility begins to set in. The concept of actual worth begins to take prevalence and the willingness to part with hard earned dollars wanes. 90 percent of Truck buyers have far more "truck" than they need or use. Even in companies that use fleets of pickups, most of their needs could be better served with smaller, cheaper vehicles. Unfortunately, the prevailing idea that bigger is better is so engrained in our collective psychology that even the military can't escape it and constantly overspends on systems that are overblown and overpriced. It like a producer actually needing a ballerina and instead casting Batista and Michael Jai White.
AT4X for true off roading. Trail Hunter if you want to overland but don’t need the ground clearance or front locker. Both are real expensive with trail hunter being slightly more expensive.
Beautiful trucks……don’t have to modify anything except add a bed rack and accessories really. For many you don’t even need to do that. Truly a drive off the lot and good to go rig. But they do have to fix the battery drain issue
Curious about headroom? Based on these videos it looks like a 6'4" guy would be brushing up against the headliner? I am actually 6'4"+1/4inch - often have headroom/comfort issues in smaller vehicles🤕😖!!
Man don’t get me wrong! I’m loving the rigs and all! But who da hell can afford 50K plus and it just keeps climbing from there! Truck prices are getting ridiculously overpriced! Sorry I’m a poor sap! I still own my payed off Jeep jk! And I thought 35 thousand dollars was expensive back then! Yikes!
I want this canyon at4x but not sure i am willing to spend 10 grand more for the AEv model with those big 35" tires which will be very bad hwy mpg. Di i am leaning towards just buying a regular canyon AT4X or a colorado zr2 to dave s bunch of money.b
These prices have gotten insane by all automakers. Well over $60,000 for a 4 cylinder midsize truck with a tiny bed that’s useless because a spare tire takes up half of it. No thanks! I just got a crew cab long bed F250 with a 7.3 liter Godzilla, 4.30 gears, and a 48 gallon gas tank for $50,000 after my Ford discount. These midsizers are a ripoff.
The AEV edition is gonna be way over priced I bet it will be between $70,000 to $80,000 AEV editions of vehicles are way over priced to where it's ridiculous in stupidity.
The interior colors are hideous! White seats on a truck, and an off-road truck at that? And why doesn’t the orange seatbelt match the red seat trim? Looks terrible.
That's a pretty basic trail... and yea, you're gonna scrape. That's what protection is for... Love the Canyon, hate the 4cyl. Would only be interested if it had a NA 6cyl or hybrid platform. But really, anyone that plans on hitting trails like that isn't gonna waste the money on a new shiny truck. They gonna buy an old jeep or truck, throw some lockers in it, upgrade a lil bit and go. For 1/3rd or 1/4th the price of that. It's capable sure... for a street truck. They need to make a successor to the Hummer H3 based on that platform... to compete with Bronco. A gas and cheaper model of the Hummer EV. Hummer EV is a beast but out of reach of most.
I took my brand new ranger off road stock plenty of times only at 40k miles did I put bigger tires on after the stocks wore out. I don't have money for extra vehicles so what I have is what I use.
12" is an impressive ground clearance. Still nothing compared to the 17" my 20 year old truck came with from the factory. Wish a manufacturer would get serious about their offroad platform....
@@drayray4009Yeah, that’s because the Tacoma is still on the 3rd Gen, it’ll be a lot closer when the 4th gens come out, granted the ZR2 is still cheaper than a TRD PRO and more capable. That said. An AT4X is about 58k, comparable TRD PRO is 52.5k. To get the TRD PRO on the same level as the AT4X, you’re dropping 3000 on shocks, 1000 on UCAs, 1000 on a front locker, 1500 on tires , 1000 on leafs and 1000 on sliders. So now you’re 60g in a Tacoma if you do the work yourself that’s uncomfortable, makes way less power and will get 15mpg. That said, what what Toyota said they’re doing for the 4th gens, you’ll still be putting 6.5g into it to on par as far as capability goes while off roading.
Oh come on homes! That trail is weak ass!!! 🙄 Come test your rigs here in MOAB Utah. It’s the Mecca for 4x4, off roading, rock crawling, etc. bring your rigs here and you’ll definitely test them to their limits therefore customers will really have a more accurate assessment of each rig capabilities

The 2024 tacoma is going to fit a 33" tire. Nissan, not so much.
Over 12 inches of ground clearance is impressive!
Until the electronics screw you over offroad lol

I don’t understand how GMC can’t just make an SUV version of this truck.
They’re stupid. They could print money. GM has THOUSANDS of “managers” who all do absolutely nothing. I hope they go bankrupt for real next time.
same thing with Ford and the ranger. They have one for Australia called the Everest... but not for North America
They could name it the trail blazer or something cool too
I’m more fan of GMC. But seems ford and jeep are the only ones that stayed true to heritage styling. Rip blazer
Why thank they make a single cab?
Andre is the best asset TFL has.
The more i hear about those prices the more i love my 2nd gen S-10 off road rig.
LOL, and your 92 Saturn.

They want the extra profit
I think it would be easier to add a rooftop tent if the AEV version had an option swing out tire carrier on the rear bumper.

The issue you have with adaptive cruise happens to all manufacturers. Happens to me in my Toyota and my wife in her Honda.

@@Offshore1977 No, not all manufacturers. My wife's 2016 Volvo V60 has flawless adaptive cruise.
So with the 35 ‘s on the AEV did they upgrade the gears? How does the AEV do on the freeway is it at full boast not being able to stay in high gear?
This will be great, can’t wait to watch this. Thanks! Have a great day!

After market spare tire mount for hitch (Rgid) or new rear bumper
Drop the spare tire, carry a plug kit and an air compressor.
Custom nuthouse industries rack system to extend the height of the bed?

Pay off your vehicle with the Frank clear trade, and then trade it in. Yeah

Wow thats a crazy trail to showcase your new trucks on. They must have a ton of confidence in them.

Aside from the taller tire, what are they using to get the extra inch of suspension height? Blocks in the rear and a leveling puck?
Suspension set up is different, remember the shocks on the at4 x are outside the frame.
Love that you did this review!!
That Milwaukee Hackzaw was having none of that tree!
All I want to know is who is going to buy these expensive midsized trucks.
Not many is my guess! Yikes 😳
My area I've already seen a few new canyons only just saw the first colorado yesterday. People have less sense than money they will get bought
@6788tappleton I just bought a 2023 Canton AT4X and I have plenty of sense. Sorry you can't afford it?
GMC Canyon is like the 5th fastest selling vehicle in America today... so I guess a lot of people are. 😁
Me. They're currently marked down $5-$7k.
Should have shown how to get in and out of the truck. Running boards should be standard on these like the Denali.
Will 35" tires fit without rubbing on the the AT4X?
Great video, Congratssss 🤠😎
$60k+ for a midsize truck with a 4 banger?! Um. What???
Nice but if I bought that package do I have to have the seatbelts that look like cheap Harbor Freight tie downs?
Whats different between the gmc aev and the colorado bison?
I got both AEV an the AT4X
Now that was a good off road course!
Aev package doesn’t include the hydraulic bump stops that you get on the bison
WOW. How does one decide what to get...AT4X AEV Canyon or Tacoma Trailhunter ? Both trucks look so NICE!
AT4X for true off roading. Trail Hunter if you want to overland but don’t need the ground clearance or front locker. Both are real expensive with trail hunter being slightly more expensive.
14:02 great job jewelio!!😂
I ordered a 2024 GMC Canyon AEV Edition in silver on 11/16/23. It will be interesting to see how long it will take GM to complete my order.
Now it is end of May 2024. Have you finally got it?
With zero communication from GM and all the software issues. I gave up my order in March and bought a raptor.
Only problem is "who can afford these trucks at these prices these days "?
GMC's target unit sale numbers would be??? Hmmm.... very competitive, especially soon to release of the Branger and the Taco coming???!!!
Excellent Review!!! 😁
Wanna be pretty handy getting a dirtbike in the back. How tall in the bed of the AEV truck?
How about the same comparison but with the HD? Waiting on those...
Price for the AEV ??
Beautiful trucks……don’t have to modify anything except add a bed rack and accessories really. For many you don’t even need to do that. Truly a drive off the lot and good to go rig. But they do have to fix the battery drain issue
Curious about headroom? Based on these videos it looks like a 6'4" guy would be brushing up against the headliner? I am actually 6'4"+1/4inch - often have headroom/comfort issues in smaller vehicles🤕😖!!
I’m 6’4 with a 35” inseam and I have about 2” when I have the seat in the lowest position.
@@AltRockKing 👍thx
I am 6ft 8 - just bought an Elevation. I put the seat down and back and have plenty of headroom. Seats 3 comfortably lol. I love my Elevation so far!
Torso length is a better way to decipher if you’re going to fit more so than overall height.
Why would GM allow 35s on midsize but not 1500 aev?
Man don’t get me wrong! I’m loving the rigs and all! But who da hell can afford 50K plus and it just keeps climbing from there! Truck prices are getting ridiculously overpriced! Sorry I’m a poor sap! I still own my payed off Jeep jk! And I thought 35 thousand dollars was expensive back then! Yikes!
The AT4X will eat Tacoma Pro’s lunch and dinner. It’s a bad ass truck.

would have been nice to have a little better exhaust. Just looks like a stock pipe hanging in the back.
I love my canyon AEV👌 Got rid of my gayladiator
All I know is that Milwaukee makes a good handsaw 🎉
LOL, I think I'll keep my '20 Wrangler Rubicon on 37's with a manual and no 'modes'
which is better Canyon or Colorado, same truck different body? GMC has always been more expensive!
I’d pay $5k more for less obnoxious interior colors
Tire in the back is ridiculous
Why doesnt AEV make things for Ford trucks?
Surprised you didn't have stroke when you scraped the rock slider. Bro that's what they're there for Andre. Stop being drama queen. 🙄🙄🙄

Lovely trucks but a still a four cylinder even with a turbo is a very weak engine for off-roading.
More horsepower and torque than a vortex 5.7

Where's that old $500 Jeep?
I think UAW strike means were only going to be able to buy Toyota or Nissan. Nice trucks but if you can't get them they aren't so good.
Cause and effects of the UAW strike will probably add another $10k to MSRP

58 thousand for a mid sized!!! Out of their mind. Buy a Tacoma for 40 k and build it yourself
