As a Chevy service advisor, I’ve yet to have a 2.7 in for mechanical repair. The 8 speed suffers from torque shutter on the earlier models. A fluid exchange helps 90% of the time. I’m not sure if Chevy has done something different with the new 8 speeds.

Great POV video review of the Canyon Denali. Loved hearing the turbo spool up in the tunnel, so glad you thought to open the windows. My Denali is on order and this just got me even more excited to get behind the wheel. Thanks!
@@dannyp9090 - It has been a great truck, Danny! I've had zero issues with it. Just regular oil changes, tire rotations, and replacing a cabin air filter at 28K (dirty) last week are all that I've had to do to it.

I love seeing vehicles made for car shows shiny and ones made for dirty job being dirty, there's just something very pleasuring about seeing all the dirt on a car after driving it on a muddy road, watching the wet dirt being picked up and building up a nasty coat on the boot and rear window when driving on wet roads and a snow or dust cloud raising behind you as you plow through snow/gravel, whether it's straight forward or sideways. :)
I’ve heard the 2.7 is pretty solid, some components are from the diesel variant. The transmissions in the old colorados/canyon were so/so. Torque converter failures were common so hopefully they addressed the issue
I picked the ZR2 over the AT4X. Mostly because it's pretty much the same truck for 6-8k less and doesn't have that tacky white with red accent trims. If I was getting any other model though, I'd get a GMC all day.
LOL, Tedward smitten by the ladies, can't remember the name of the truck /s "This is the uhhh [f*** what is it] ... GMC Colorado!" 😂 Only teasing, too many names for the same truck
Definitely love the canyon denalis I'm not gonna lie. Own a 2009 Tacoma RN but I think this canyon denali would be a good fit for me as a comfortable daily driver to and from work. Especially how more spacious it has gotten I think it's pretty much worth it. As ridiculous as the price tag I think it's still a nice cabin to cruise in.
When you entered the Off-Road, what do you think of the consistency of the interior decorations? Are there sounds? + Do you think its reliability is high and there are few breakdowns?
Noticed the Chevy and Gmc mid sized trucks and the Toyota mid sized Tacomas, have the same air conditioning vents locations, looks like they must have some kind of sharing from manufacturers
Nice! Just needs the upgraded tailgate like the Sierra. I'm wanting the Denali, but can't find one. The dealers in my area, (TN) keep telling me they can't get them. Where'd you get it?
tedward, love the videos, any chance on the new trucks we can get a bottom seat cushion measurement, i think i've driven half the new cars out there, but can't find a seat that's got enough bottom cushion, everything is too short
Every time I get into sierra Dinali, I love the comfort, I just wondered. Does this feel very small even though it’s luxurious inside, like, does this feel more like a sedan or does it still feel like a truck?
Midsize trucks these days have the same cabin a 4 door half ton had in the 2000s. You’re missing a little shoulder room, some leg room in the back seat and console/storage space. I own a large solar company and could buy whatever vehicle I want as a daily I am 100% buying one of these or the new ranger, unless somehow toyota managed to fix the seating position in the tacoma and really wows with the interior and powertrain, which I doubt. Midsize trucks are far easier to fit on tight streets, park, more nimble, less drag and now obviously just as well appointed as their big bros. I have a fleet of current gen rangers, some frontiers and some tacomas. Both have been bulletproof but the ranger is better in every measurable way. It also feels the most truck like.
@@mattbrew11 thank you for the response, coming from a scion XP and looking at this, I’m saying like this is plenty of truck for me. I work hard, so I really don’t mind spending the money for the extra comfort trim. I really would want to go with the Tacoma but the interior is so outdated it’s a joke, test drove one the other day, I would’ve thought it was a 2015. I’m not a fan of the dial on the Ranger to put it into drive or park, What do you think about the price of this, everyone is always talking about how expensive it is but I just don’t understand the point of complaining, like you’re getting a fully maxed out comfortable truck so for all the people saying that an F150 cost this much but that’s like an XL
@@AdventureswithaaronB so on the brand new ranger they changed to a shifter very much like the one in this gmc but they kept a keyed ignition except for the Lariat and Raptor Trims. As far as the cost, I along with everyone else would prefer it be less, especially when it ordering fleet volume but thats just not the world we live in. Me personally, I think AT4 trim delivers the most value for my dollar. Im not big on chrome so id either do that or jump up all the way to the AT4X. At that trim though, the raptor undercuts it in price and has way more power and the raptor lineage. So for me, id be weighing the Rangor Lariat with the 2.7L engine vs this trim or whatever you like as thats the most apples to apples. Best of luck!

there was a s10 with the small block v8, definitely not an 'el camino' and these dropping down to 4cly only is just crap even if it has a turbo. they're making them bigger and heavier but also worse, i just dont see the appeal of these
Chevy never produced an S-10 with a V8 (other than a 1 off prototype build), they did make the Syclone though that had the turbo 4.3L V6 that was use din the Buick Grand National. That and its S-10 Blazer Typhoon were very fast little trucks. Be nice if GM did something like that for the new Trucks, maybe twin-turbo the 2.7L with some programming and paddle shifter!
@@TedwardDrives And per the GMC engineer who designed this motor, that 430 is with pump 87 fuel. He said this block can handle a lot more power but they tuned it for reliability and long term use. Suspect there will be a good amount of after-market tuning on these very shortly!
I don’t like the new canyon. I’m looking at buying a canyon and I’m going to get the 2022 canyon cause I can get it in a long box with a v6. I wish they still had more options so you can get everything you want
Why are car manufacturers these days so obsessed with cup holders? Carrying hot milky and sugary drinks along with cold sugary drinks is surely asking for trouble.
I am surprised that I have a sneaky liking for American trucks. It is their chonkiness and their large dollop of unashamed vulgarity that I rather like.
I really want a Canyon Denali......but pricey for me. I will wait till the end of the year to see if any initial problems rear there ugly GM quality head. I would love to wait a couple years but Im driving a 21 year old beater and I really want to replace it sooner rather than later.
Nice looking truck, the sound of a 4 banger irks me. Sounds cheap. This guy trying to sell this 4 banger turbo. LOL Trucks should have V8's and nothing under 350 HP.
Not trying to sell anything. Wouldn’t benefit me in the slightest. I showed you what it is. Like it. Don’t like it. Means nothing to me. Good luck out there
@Necrotic Reaper You need HP and torque. But who wants a nice lifted truck sounding like a ricer? A man's truck should sound mean and like a man's truck. Try putting some 40's or 44's on these trucks and they will not be able to spin those wheels at a decent speed. You need low end and high end output. Horsepower is important.

This is an overpriced truck. I can't believe you pay over $50,000 and they STILL stick you with the shitty plastic trim from the Avalanche. It just clashes so badly with the rest of the materails on the door panels. Ugh.
How is it overpriced? $50K for the Denali and all it has on it is a very good price in this Truck market. Have you priced any of these new mid-size trucks? Then price up a comparable Full-Size?

This one right now, best midsized truck on the market imo. But the ranger raptor and tacoma are coming
2023 GMC Canyon AT4 👍
This pickup is beautiful. I'm not even a pickup kinda guy but GMC's have always done it for me vs the Chevy variants.
im suprised how loud the turbo is on this. Nice video
Exterior and interior 👌,reliability that's a question.
Heard the 2.7L Turbo is pretty decent actually.
The 2.7 will be an extremely reliable engine if you take care of the carbon buildup. Who knows with the 8 speed though, could be a turd
As a Chevy service advisor, I’ve yet to have a 2.7 in for mechanical repair. The 8 speed suffers from torque shutter on the earlier models. A fluid exchange helps 90% of the time. I’m not sure if Chevy has done something different with the new 8 speeds.

Got a 22 sierra with the 2.7T H/O and it does definitely do the job. I also own a 23 with the tried and true 5.3 and now having driven both. The power is there in both it just feels like the turbo tries harder and the v8 is holding back until you need it.

It was really fun to stay in! They were pretty nice
This size of trucks is perfect for me and I really like these GM twins they did a good job with the interior and exterior design.

It's a good lucking truck! I had a 2001 single cab step-side S10 and only now (23 years later) has GM finally made a little truck that looks better!
Headlights are automatic on most new cars. You don't even have to touch the switch in most circumstances.
Which is why nobody has taillights illuminated in fog anymore.
