Beautiful truck. GMC should offer a flat black hood decal to cut down of sun glare. Don,t care for the running boards. Nice sprayed in bed liner. The plastic slip-in ones just ruin the bed paint. Beautiful interior and layout. The sunroof with a manual slide is nice. You can place it where you want. Shift location is fine for me. Glad the Auto Start Stop can be turned off. Hate them!
I agree. These midsized have evolved into what seems to be a more maneuverable and more comfortable riding truck that stops easier and parks easier and feels like you are driving a midsized SUV rather than a full sized truck. I sold my 2019 Sierra Elevation earlier this year and have been driving my new 2023 2wd Canyon Elevation for about a month now and I am super impressed with its driving dynamics compared to the Sierra. The Sierra was like driving a bus to work every day. I needed a truck only for picking up hard wood lumber for my furniture building bussiness/hobby and maybe I will use it for a small fishing boat to tow around in the next year or so and I can easily pull my dads 23 ft Sailboat out of the lake in the fall season. It just wasn't practical to own a huge Pickup when a the Canyon can accomplish my needs more easily and economically. That 430 lbs of torque is very substantial for meeting my towing and driving needs.
In all honesty I don't know but I am planning to shoot another Canyon Denali tomorrow and will find out. I hope to publish that video tomorrow afternoon at 4 PM cst.
The Colorado comes in at a little less, with some more spartan trims. I do enjoy that this has an interior which mimics the larger sierra for fit and finish. Great for those who want a smaller truck, but don't want to give up the interior quality (which it feels like you do in the Maverick/Ranger/Ridgeline etc.
Yes this is a handsome truck however, the MPG really sucks for a mid-size truck. I average 23 mpg with my 2020 F150 Lariat, RWD, 2.7 turbo! It's bigger overall and much more interior space and has been trouble free for over 45k miles!
I have owned several Colorados and of recent Canyons. 2009-2021 editions. Greatest disappointment has been the lack of tech integration. From the 2015-2023, to drop the V6 for a 4cyl, turbo is unacceptable, but now I can pay more for the 4cyl. I am aware of the torque and power increases, but the fuel economy stinks with this change. Further more to force a 4WD on someone is ridiculous. That also minimizes fuel economy. Oh I know you can get a 2WD version, but not on the Denali, and so you have to piece a vehicle together for greater costs. Finally, it appears that installing a "HomeLink" System is either too difficult, expensive, or complicated for your engineers on this model. Oh but you will let me pay $10K more for pretty much the same vehicle as my 2021. WOW.
GM designers seem to be focusing on the wrong things; chrome, luxury, ... they should focus more on; off-road capabilities, ruggedness, durability, reliability, ... don't think midsize truck grills need to be that fancy and busy, just keep it simple but rugged.
Seems like the focused on what people want. Luxury and off road ability, they offer both and the Danali even has the two inch lift and AT tires. Then you have the AT4 if you want more off roading ability and maybe a little less luxury.
Very beautiful Truck I test-drove one last week good power rear seat is tight, The 4banger turbo is very concerning, has a lot of electrical parts like an electric water pump, also uses 8 speed transmission (which is involved in a class action lawsuit)I don't believe this engine will go 200k like a Nissian, Honda, or Toyota. V6
You mean you did the research to find out what it has and past issues but not enough research to know that the 8-speed transmission has been updated since the lawsuit and the engine revised and updated as well from the iteration that was in the Silverado? Sounds like you just came to cast doubt in regard to reliability as it pertains to the drivetrain but GM already has that covered.
@@G-Rated No, just want to be sure and check out every aspect and possible problems before spending 50k after all this is GM we are talking about not Toyota reliability
It needs chrome, chrome wheels, you know if using regular gas in long run be hear knocking noise in 2.7 engine but gm won't tell that have premium gas. Roll back time it like drive a Chevrolet vega 2.3 engine and 2.7 engine sound same noise. Funny Chevrolet vega cost lots money even mistakes for gm it like old medicine side show tell more lies.
Thank you for saying it... "I prefer no sunroof", me too!

That threaded hole in the tailgate is for the Kicker Sound System
Wow, it's very nice with a nice price as well. Mid truck pricing is getting into full size pickup trucks

Wish they put turn signal on mirrors. Also power rear window.
very good review and glad they updated the interior which looks really good. i prefer this shifter over the column shifter. thanks
I'm really undecided between this Denali and AT4 I don't do much off-roading but I do want a capable off-roading/Overlanding truck.
Thanks for giving the gas tank size. No other reviewer does that.
You're welcome!
any ambient lighting on this trim? Great review man!
In all honesty I don't know but I am planning to shoot another Canyon Denali tomorrow and will find out. I hope to publish that video tomorrow afternoon at 4 PM cst.
$ 55,000 for a midsize truck is insanity
No disagreement
This should be no more than $40-45,000 max
70k in Canada🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@F35Nerd The AT4 package starts around ~45K and has similar capabilities and features.
The Colorado comes in at a little less, with some more spartan trims.

How did the console knee pads feel?
Don’t need factory lift, can this be omitted at build or removed after purchase?
no
the best video for this one
Thank you, Jose!
great review
Thank you!
Beautiful trick 👍

If more expensive means better?
Not something usually associated with a mass market supplier like GM
Very nice trucks!!!
So many dark interiors -- so much heat and sun, not so smart.
GM designers seem to be focusing on the wrong things; chrome, luxury, ...
they should focus more on; off-road capabilities, ruggedness, durability, reliability, ...
don't think midsize truck grills need to be that fancy and busy, just keep it simple but rugged.
That's when the AT4 steps in, it's more rugged than the Denali
Seems like the focused on what people want. Luxury and off road ability, they offer both and the Danali even has the two inch lift and AT tires. Then you have the AT4 if you want more off roading ability and maybe a little less luxury.
That's why they have the off road trims.

100%, I just don’t see these 4 cylinder trucks selling. 4 banger truck for $55k? No thank you.

That was almost English...
All they did was put lipstick on the defective A8 transmission however.
2023, and they're still using that same silly antenna.
Boy, thats sure is a deal breaker. I guess I should cancel my order.
@@johnwhitneykokalis9990 they have to find _something_ to hate about it, don’t they? Cut the *haters* some slack man. Lol.
@@G-Rated boring.
It’s their for better signal in remote locations.
Oops, too late. My Beautiful Truck arrived 2 weeks ago, and it is awsome.
Like I said before how many people are doing these vehicle review?My god everybody is doing these reviews.I’m just waiting for Mickey Mouse to do one.
Love those wheels!
Yea,because Goofey has already done one😂
Yet here you are watching it and commenting. Clown.
@@ttown918 Why are you one that does these reviews too?goof
They keep popping up for you because you’re watching and interacting with them lol
Still more than a Tacoma and not worth it or better
Worse gas mileage compared to last model.
Lousy.
Great review
Thank you!
