Love my 2023 Canyon elevation! Sticker as $41,800. Picked it up for 38,800.
Still too much
I wouldn't pay over $34k for one.
2wd?
@@thegman4547 yes, the elevation
This is a 2023 - The 2024 has the 11" Driver's screen across all trims - that's what I've been waiting for!!
Yessssss 😆
I shut down a salesman hard the other day for trying to tell me thats not a big deal (he really wanted me to take the last 2023 on their lot). Outside of the door handle or the start button, it's the part of the truck the driver will interact with/view the most. I care about that more than heated seats, moonroof, etc., lol.
@@YTsurferr what's the difference between sunroof and moonroof?
@YTsurferr your right bro.
1. Heated seats - not needed for most months in some states and others is not even use (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas,)
2. Moonroof - I really don't like the sun burning through my scalp.
Nice truck, but no 4 low for 48k??
My 2022 Colorado came to 37k after dealer incentives and it came with a proper two-speed transfer case.
Make no mistake, GM’s decision to not even offer 4 low on ‘base’ models is an experiment to see just what they can get away with, and it is also a giant middle finger to the American consumer.
Every time someone says “C’mon, how often do you actually use 4 low? You don’t really need it”, a GM executive smiles, because his bonus just got bigger.
We can’t give them a free pass on this.
Great Review Ben. I know you’re the guy to make it happen, so would love to see a side by side comparison between the Canyon AT4X and the Colorado ZR2
Great review Ben and great truck. Towing capacity is 7,700 pounds.
This isn't the 2024, this is the 2023 model year
What’s the difference between 23 and 24?
2024 has full size digital cluster display
The styling is definitely an improvement over the previous gen, but I hate the digital controls for lights!
How often are you not using automatic lights? I thought it would be an issue but I’ve had the truck since June and don’t even think I’ve needed to use this
@@j.creates676I’ve said the same thing. In every comment section on every video on the Colorado/ canyon I see people complain about the headlight switch. Nobody ever turns it off auto. Even if you did want to change it just tap the light icon in the top left corner, it’s always there.
@@johnddaley lol yeah exactly. It’s not the 70s where we have to manually turn the lights on and off….
Headlights no problem fog lights should be external switch
I dont know, I saw some videos about that. I saw one in a dealership the other night, it was unlocked so I sat in it/checked out the interior. I wanted to see the lights; there's a shortcut right on the screen, even without keys. Push the icon, hit "on", I don't see it as a problem...especially considering you'll probably set it at "Auto" and forget it.
The truck is loaded with options. My new Elevation has the preferred pkg, convenience pkg, towing pkg, bed liner, and side steps. After tax, title and license i ended up paying 40k and that was with my GM Retirees dicount or GMS price. Best truck i have ever bought, great handling, powerful and stylish inside and out.
Beatiful looking mid sized truck!
The red circle at the top of the screen is the light button it’s there all the time you don’t have to go into the screen for the lights
I looked at one of these earlier this summer...it was a 2WD Elevation in Red. It was sharp looking. I ended up going with a '23 Sierra Elevation with the 5.3L V8 instead. The Elevation is a decent package for the money plus you get the blacked-out 20" wheels (or 18" on the Canyon) and black grill with the body-painted bumpers. By the time you pay almost $50,000 for a midsize truck, you might as well look at the Sierra with a V8. Styling-wise, GMC's look more refined than the Chevy counterparts...Chevy has a sporty look, GMC's have a more luxurious look to them.
Ehh the “refined” look is only correct when you talk about the upgraded gmc interior which an elevation does not have. Is basically a rebadged rst Silverado. Same truck.
Haircut looks good
That is a 2023 not a 24
Great review Ben, I’m a first time ever looking at a GMC mid size trucks. The trucks look sharp. One question how dependable is the GMC engine and transmission and electrical? I’ve been driving Toyota Tacoma for years and now I drive a Toyota TUNDRA. I’m looking for a new midsize pickup truck. Looks like the GMC Canyon with the Dinali package, is very similar to Toyota Tacoma Limited package? And a few hundred dollars less than the Toyota
Ben: just purchased 2024 gmc canyon elevation 2WD- Only have about 120 miles on it - notice the Oil temp gauge is a bit above mid range and transmission oil same - is this OK/normal for this engine?
I would love to see them put this nose on the Arcadia and the terrain .I think they would sell well
Sorry Ben! 30-40K for a mid-sized pickup is reasonable, not 48K! Deflation! Deflation! Deflation!
Just got one for 36k new
@@jeremygilbert3099 Congrats! Is it a base work truck or a tricked out trim level?
@@JimBeary more towards the base level, maybe a tier above the work truck level if I had to guess. And thanks!
@jeremygilbert3099 do you know if it's the 'elevation', 'at4', 'denali', or 'at4x' level? 👀
Elevation@@tylerbuck9347
In too much of a hurry. Never showed the tailgate storage.
I like your videos but as far as the acceleration… where is it? The power numbers don’t seem to add up in the performance and sound department.
The horsepower numbers that car manufacturers publish are measured at the engine without accessories, without a restrictive factory exhaust, and without being connected to the drivetrain. With a 4x4, you must subtract about 25% from the published horsepower number to get a better idea of rear wheel horsepower. If car manufacturers don't measure horsepower/torque at the rear wheels then they are giving customers useless theoretical numbers. The problem with a turbocharged engine is that before boost - low horsepower, then boost - maximum horsepower for a short period then horsepower drops again. When the intake air passes by the turbo, it absorbes heat from the turbo before being forced into the engine. The engine can't operate at peak efficiency when you are forcibly shoving hot air into the combustion chamber. When the combustion chamber gets too hot, the computer sprays extra fuel in to cool down the combustion chamber to protect the engine. Then all that unburned fuel is dumped into the catalytic converter which destroys fuel economy.
Love your bear
Please correct the title of your video to say 2023. 2024 is incorrect. 3:32 VIN is 1GTP6BEK5P1236828 which is a 2023. Also all 2024s have the larger instrument cluster, not the 8"
Gmc built a cool truck to go have fun with it
Wish they offered the 3.0 I6 diesel
Same
Sad that more manufacturers are no longer selling an option to get an extended cab vs a crew cab
Beefy looking vehicle???
Legs spread apart looking aggressive???
Now this is a certified Ben Hardy Classic lets mf gooooooo
Should I get an at4 or bite the bullet and get a Colorado ZR2
That buckskin interior padding on the AT4 is hideous. You can pretty much build an Elevation as you like, but you won’t be able to get ventilated seats or heated steering wheel.
Edmunds customer reviews reporting glitchy infotainment. Also, headlight control is only through touchscreen, no separate pushbutton.
once again not a 24 smh
It really needs a V6
48.5? jesus i just paid that for the 23 AT4 trim.
they need to make the rear seat fold
I just bought mine yesterday. Had 4 miles on it. Drove about 20 minutes down the road and had to turn around. Damn thing already broke down on me. Not very pleased at all. It’s already in the shop. Very displeased with it so far.
Which midsize truck has the most room?
I was wondering the same thing
I was comparing / cross shopping canyon / ranger / Colorado
@@lordrayden3045 add Ridgeline too and the taco
@@urbanrver3527
Ridge line is a no, I’d get a Maverick
And Tacoma crossed my mind, but it was die for an overhaul, and I’m not getting the first model year of anything
That price without a proper transfer case????? #nissanfrontier
Love your reviews, however this Canyon Elevation has leather, and many upgrades that are not typical of this level.
No 4 low wow that is going cheap Gm for 50 k it should have 4low
Really affordable
48K SMH
When a Tacoma sr5 is 50 k Canadian now this is a bargain
No 4 wheel drive low in the Elevation is a major loss for any off road use. There is a price to be paid for all the GMC fluff. It’s basically a Subaru dressed up like a pickup. The AT4 is a much nicer truck. It’s the real deal.
let’s be honest though. The legroom in the back seat hardly rivals airplane seating. No go for me as much as I like GMC. 👎🏼
GOING THROUGH THE TOUCHLESS CAR WASH AND CAVES IN THE ROOF..BRILLIANT GM..GARBAGE..
48,495.00 is ridiculous for a 4x2 truck.
Lack of cabin storage for a 50k truck.
Another 4 cylinder
I think it looks great, but I ended up buying a used Tacoma TRDPro for three main reasons.
The first reason I chose the Tacoma over the Canyon/Colorado was most people's reason, RELIABILITY!
My second reason was due to the combination of the 2.7l turbo charged engine, LCD instrument cluster, electric parking brake and no electric rear glass.
My third reason is, RELIABILITY! 😂
Funny because the outgoing Colorado was a pretty reliable truck, so I’m having trouble believing the only reason you went with a Taco is reliability. Then again, the only reason to buy the Toyota over anything else in the segment is unproven reliability.
first
Good content, but you should have shown the DRLs turned on and the end of your knees were not visible in that camera shot.
Buckle seat belt to shift?? I don't need a nanny. Can that be disabled
17mpg city 20 highway on a midsize truck? No thanks. I can't believe these are $40k+.
Very nice truck otherwise.
So fuel economy on this heap is 17 mpg in town and 21 on the highway 😂😂😂 my full size 10 year old full size pickup does better than that! Why in God's name would I ever even consider a $50k turbo charged 4 banger made by one of the least reliable manufacturers on the planet, that sounds like a lawn mower 😂😂😂😂
I’m trying to like it but I can’t something about the front end
Nice design but I don’t trust modern GM reliability. That 8spd trans has been a horror in the C7 Vette and all the GM trucks and SUVs. Toyota Tacoma for the win…..
4 cylinder turbo….Nope.
Maybe GM will offer a lighter interior instead of a sea of darkness.
Sounds like crap. Sounds like a VW Bug. Why cant I just get a basic 6 cylinder? Same gas milage, less crap to break, better reliability.
The fact this thing is the upscale GMC and they're "Professional Grade" this 4wd system is a joke.
Shame on them and Chevy for even making this pretend 4wd system an option on these trucks. 50 grand for the same shit as a traverse.
Why is is pretend 4WD?
Gotta stop being dishonest Ben. This is a ‘23. If you’re gonna review things be real.
I don’t like the headlight
Finally someone who isn't drinking the Kool-aid. There is something weird and ugly the way the front quarter panel wraps around the front of the truck. It's a 4x4 so give it bright LED headlights and strong mounting points for off-road lights. GM doesn't need to over design the headlights because it's a truck not a SUV.
This engine is a real letdown. Canyon is supposed to be an upgraded Chevy. This is not very upgraded. MANUAL back mirror? Are you serious? The exterior styling isn’t half bad. But the interior and electrical guys should’ve done better!
Lack of power back window is unbelievable. Ford is just as bad not offering a power moonroof at all in the 2024 Ranger.
Good info, but I had to keep rewinding the video to listen to what you were saying because you talk way too fast. Also, please stop laughing as you talk... can't understand you.
