- Off road truck lovers rejoice because the 2021 Canyon AT4 is here! Under the hood is a 3.6L V6 producing 308HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic. Of course this being a 4x4 vehicle the 2021 AT4 has 31in off road tires, suspension work, and special appointments. On the inside you will find some special interior unique to the AT4 and of course the 8in infotainment system. Is the FIRST ever 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 a truck WORTH the PRICE?

I actually love that it doesn't have push button start. I'm not a fan of push button start in any vehicle. Too easy to have your car stolen by someone picking up your signal on your proximity key. I wish car manufacturers never made it a thing.
I purchased a 2016 GMC Canyon new, It was to be my retirement truck after owning over a dozen trucks for work and personal use. I find a midsize truck works best for my present needs. At the 22,000 mile mark I started having several large electronic repair issues. I finally gave up at 24,000 miles and traded it for the 2019 Nissan Frontier which is my current truck. I have found the Frontier to be the better vehicle.
I love how everything is measured in Twinkie boxes and snickers bars 😂 love the channel, man. Keep up the great work!
My cousin got this this week, in light brown with black wheels. Nice truck
Wonderful vehicle Joe! Thanks for bringing us this one.
I am so glad that you like this one.
The appropriate comparison would be the Z71, FX4, and TRD Off Road trims on the other midsizes (maybe a base Gladiator). If you get the AT4 in cloth without a bunch of unneeded options, it currently shows a $3k cash allowance, for a net asking price of about $37k. A un-optioned ZR2 would be $5k more, and probably harder to bargain on. If the interior is cramped, then you should be shopping fullsizes. This seems competitive to its appropriate competition, with better tires, and the air dam sounds easily removable.
Nice truck, with some missing comforts. The one that gets me is the manual rear slider. I am always opening that window when I drive. I need that to be power.
I dont think any midsize trucks have that
@@jonathanwilliam980 The Tacoma does. Maybe not the base but I had a 17 TRD sport that had it. Now I’m in a 4Runner and get even more of a breeze from the back window 😊
I am leasing this truck in white right now, and it came with the running boards. I love it.. its a great everyday vehicle and pretty decent on fuel... even in the city! I find that there is more than enough room in the interior, and not having the keyless entry/start doesn't bother me at all ! I used to have the keyless entry/start on my vehicle before this, and I hated it. Sometimes the vehicle wouldn't register the fob, and I had to get out and back in the car. I'll take a key start any day.
Its a sharp looking truck for anyone just looking for a nice ride with towing capabilities and a box, or if you like to go off roading.
I had the running boards on mine and I took them off. Don't like i'm not needed
Can't wait for mine to arrive! I was loving the video...and then you referenced Chips Ahoy cookies? Dude, you got a sub from me!
Thanks Joe for the honest review. It looks nice and I was interested, but not so much now. I like my tech gadgets and this truck misses the mark especially with that MSRP.
You are so very welcome!
Agree. Very disappointed in that aspect. It does look great though.
Cant watch these without craving a bunch of candy by the end of the interior review lol. best car reviews on the internet!
Thank brother! I appreciate the support!
No, not candy but a twinkies because I eat that when I look at his reviews
Always love your midsize truck reviews. As far as the Canyon AT4 goes, it may look good to the eye, but there’s no way it’s a true off road truck. The air dam alone tells me GMC isn’t serious. Anyway...great video as always!
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate the support!
As a 2020 Canyon owner I agree with your sentiment regarding the AT4. It's more of an on pavement truck with off-road tires. I chose the SLE Elevation since I don't need an off-roader. It's a great all around truck for the road. If it's going off-road the air dam is easy to remove.
Now I am stuck between this and the gladiator rubicon and the Colorado zr2 but they are all awesome 👍
So many to choose from for sure!
Gladiator has frame problems, mine bent during off roading and I got a ZR2 and love it way more then I ever did the gladiator, my advice
As far as looks gladiator looks the best but maybe Chevy is better without having to go to the shop all the time
I own a Z71 colorado and it rides great, Chevy always has great driving experience compared to the competition.
Are you buying yourself a new 4x4 this summer ? I think one of these would be more reliable for longer than the Rubicon.
“Engine cover looks like a trashcan lid” that is absolutely hilarious
Please go over the 4x4 controls! Especially in off road vehicles man! Love the energy and flow, keep it going!
Will do!
Wish you'd focus more on the truck features rather than stuff like leather stitching and snack storage. It is sad that here we have a truck review, and the max payload and towing sticker is not shown, payload is not mentioned at all, towing just briefly mentioned, etc. AT4 has the identical setup as Z71, the main difference is that the tires are slightly larger so it has more ground clearance and is slightly better for the offroad, but costs a little more. And yes, the manual says to remove the air dam for the offroad, and unlike Z71, they made it here much easier to remove the air dam.
My favorite pickup truck! Great video Joe.
I am so glad that you like this one Jeremiah!
@@RaitisRidesThanks Joe for reviewing my favorite GMC truck.
Just bought a 2022 GMC Canyon AT4. Im not an off roader by any means. I mainly wanted it for driving thru fields at the local tracks for parking, maybe getting over the curbs when allowed to park on the grassy areas at the local stadiums and getting me home when it snows alots.
I just really wish they would change the interior and do a whole redesign. They keep raising the price but won't inmovate any on this truck.
Should Should've been redone two years ago
@@yankeedave Agreed!
Joe: I agree with all the Zonks..It needs a refresh for 40k. For its purpose, off-road, I guess it works.
Thanks Michael for letting me share the details of this truck.
Nice looking mid-sized truck. I wish they would put leveling kits on off-road trucks. That would be my first upgrade.
Ram needs to get back into that market.
The dakota is in the works...using the gladiator underpinnings
If its a car review its gotta be Raitis car review. Going to go test drive this truck this morning. Wish me luck.
Love the reviews 👍, I gotta half zonk the camera 🎥 angle on the test drive on this one
Black may look nice Joe but down south this is a no go for me too hot. I don't have issues with the key or the lumbar support as many people do but the multi-pro tailgate thats on the Sierra would be nice on this.
It looks good but at that price it’s lacking some things that should be standard. Too many zonks for me. These mid-sized trucks are nearly the size of what full size trucks used to be. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank You, I've been waiting for your superb review on this truck. You hit a home run on this one!
Thanks for saying that and letting me share it with you!
that goddamn interior again , everytime i see all new GMC either sierra or canyon i am somehow stupidly expecting an interior redesign but great review by this guy as always
I love the truck but do agree about the boring interior.
From people past experience and your personal views which 3 are better would you choose.
1. Ford lariat .
2. Gmc at4.
3. Honda rtl-e/black edition.
I like the style of ford but for inside of vehicle I like what gmc has but for upgrade including a back hidden compartment which unfortunately takes up half a foot space of the 4 foot bed which your words zonk I'd go with honda plus would be nice for and extra foot of leg space
Great Review, on a quality great kid sized truck!
Would like to see the Denali trim version!!
Agree with the shortfalls, throughout the interior, and an actual key? "Really"?
Meh, when you do look at what your getting for price... 🏁🏁
Damn Typo! I meant mid sized, "NOT" kid sized!
Self, "Zonking" myself on that one! 🤭
HEY GMC, WHY ONLY BLACK INTERIOR?? GMC used to offer cocoa dune colors. Will that be available?
I feel your pain.
Great reviews....but one additional thing that I would like to see is how the rear seat folds.
You got it Dave! Thanks for watching!
Just like every Canyon All Terrain since 2017 with a refreshed front grille and a 5k higher price. For a moment I thought it was my 2016 AT until you mentioned the 8 speed trans.
You are so very right about that Michael!
@@RaitisRides I believe they reversed they mounting screws orientation to screw out from the bottom instead of the top on the air dam so it is much easier to remove now. I think the air dam is a little shorter now as well. I will wait for the next gen I think.
Its a nice truck, better than the ranger (in my opinion), but it could definitely use some updates. Id strongly consider this if I was in the market for a mid size truck.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Andrew!
Hey Joe on the A/C the Right knob is the auto ac system......look closer even better USE IT!!!!!! when you turn that knob I bet it gives a tempture reading that you set your a/c at say 70 then punch the auto button and walha!@!!!! you have a climte control system.....sorry for the bad spelling.
Thanks for sharing that man!
Canyon/ Colorado great trucks for mid size. Nice smooth quiet ride better than any SUVs I found out while shopping for one . I have a ZR2 but think would go back with full sized truck cause like the V8
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
I guess the 8 speed transmission problems are fixed cause nobodys talking about it anymore
You are correct!
Great video!!!! Please keep them coming!!! Good job Victor on the camera!!! You mentioned it had some sort of crawl control. I did not see that feature. Can you tell me where it was.. maybe I missed it when watched it.
I just bought one. Nice all around truck!
Will be removing the front air dam for sure.
Hey Joe, Another amazing review as always! Talking about that Canyon, GMC needs to refresh those interiors ASAP, specially on the Sierra, they look SUPER dated!!! Keep up with the good work man!!!
Fingers crossed it happens next year!
The interior in the Sierra looks dated but I don't think the exterior looks dated
Bright red tow hooks for when u try to off road it and it gets stuck as all gmc’s do lol 😂
Really hope you're getting some Ad revenue with all the food plugs you had in this video😂
Whenever I get one, I'm going to need power seats with cool and heated built in. That's going to be a must. Especially since trucks are so expensive, it should come with all features. No ventilation in the back? Why........?
It's very dumb the front air damn comes "on" from the factory, considering all the press material and marketing had it removed. Luckily it's very easy to take off, the dealer will even do it for you when you buy one.
So very true!
nice to know.
Uggghhh chill out dude every time I watch your videos you always make me reconsider what kind of truck I want to save up for
I can’t believe they didn’t add a Moonroof to the AT4 😭😭😭
These sell for $36500. What else compares that comes with "so much more" than this truck? Have ya'll driven a Tacoma? They can't get out of their own way and the seats absolutely suck on the comparably priced truck. TRD Pro might be different, but it better be! This truck also pulls 7000 pounds. It looks great. The only truck that really compares is the Ford Ranger. Another situation where some people are pro GM or pro Ford and don't care. They only come with a 4 cylinder turbo, can be a positive, can be a negative. The Ranger does have really comfy seats. What matters is what you want it to do, how much you have to spend, and did you like driving it.
Nice looking truck. I've figured out what I like about your channel is that this is the experience I'm missing at the dealership sometimes. A little history and information would be appreciated, ya know!?
Yeah GMC lost me at 9:40 of this video, $41,400.00 for manual seats, regular key, normal ac, WTH... naaah I'm good
I got a 2020 super crew F150 for cheaper and better equipped...thats ridiculous.
Me: **Having a new bought vehicle from a gift.**
Also me: **bought a bunch of twinkies.** ✌😂
I like the way you think!
huh?
Joe the Konami Code is 'Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B Start' lol
The key in the ignition killed it for me. No push button start?! I was on the fence when I saw the air dam in the front. Then we got to the inside and no sun roof, no push to start, cheap looking panels and center screen... dash and wheel look dated and cheap too... not sure what GMC was thinking listing this truck at 41k. It seems like it should be closer to 33-35k for the cheap materials. I guess the GMC badge is worth the extra 7K? Great review as always though, thanks for showing us!
Hey Joe,
I'm a lot late to the bash.
In your opinion what's the quieter, smoother riding truck, Canyon or Colorado?
Twinkies, toothpicks, I'm freakin sold!
Hi Joe. Am waiting to see the GMC terrain AT4 2021 Coz.I have the terrain SLE. 2018
Best of luck to you my friend. God bless you. 🙂🙂🙂
Joe , I could always tell when you skip lunch ,by the way 42,000 for that truck I don't know if that's a good bang for your buck especially when it comes to registration time.
You know me Richard!
They offer lots of incentives and discounts.
The AT4 might be my new dream mid size truck
I’ve never seen Joe so uninterested in a vehicle 😂😂 lol you can tell he was not feeling it during the driving test
You know me well.
Looks great! But should have had zr2 front and rear lockers. I'm old and dont like the looks of the sporty zr2 but would like the lockers.
Lol the Contra code up down up down left right left right BA BA start or select start for 2 players
Thanks for the assist!
I'm zonking the taillights. I HATE CLEAR TAILLIGHTS!!
Me too
Let's gooooooooo!!! Great review here Joe!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesGoWhere #CrownVic #GMCWhatIsThis
Thanks my man!
Be careful driving at high speed on the far right lane of US 19 approaching Tampa rd & burger king as often people all of a sudden decide last minute to swing into that lane from a standing still.
This is so very true! Good call!
Not a bad looking truck. I’m not sure how that V6 engine tows over 7,000 pounds.... but okay. By the way...what’s the dive watch your wearing? Just curious. Thanks for the video.
Can you give us a little bit of history on the trash can lids. 😀
You are gilarious!
I agree with the trash can lid look of engine cover!
The tires have more off road capability than the truck.
This is 100% true!
@@RaitisRides The only off road this can do is a gravel road, no ground clearance, probably only half or an inch at most higher that a 2 wheel variant. Over priced and butt ugly design.
@@simba2ndpatches14 that’s why you lift them. 👍🏾
THANK YOU SIR ..YOU'RE GREAT AND HUMBLE ❤❤❤
@@drook9873 you forgot a ❤
I'm a Toyota guy but that is a nice truck !!
Box of Twinkie’s is the american standard for measuring volume.
You better believe it Brad! LOL
Your snack references are making me hungry. Does that truck hve a cooler for my shasta soda?
This guy must always be hungry when making his videos 😂
I test drove this yesterday and the ride sucked on-road. Felt literally every bump. Was highly disappointed.
Have a drink every time he says “Kalahari”
You’ll be wrecked before he even hits the road.
LMAO! Just don't drink and drive!
the thing that i never liked about the canyon is that it looks like the truck was designed as a colorado and then they just forced a different front end on it. i know the fenders are also different, but none of the canyon styling pieces match the rest of the lines, especially the character line on the lower section of the doors, and the window line.
How is the ride compared to the Elevation or Denali?
Pretty much the same.
wow! after T and L 45k and no push button start or hvac in the back seat
I feel your pain Wally!
Yeah I agree, and no sunroof, power rear window,or more safety tech. I like the Tacoma, but it rides kinda rough and is smaller inside. a single medium size vent in the rear would be nice.
Push button is stupid and the cab is not large enough to warrant rear air.
The truck looks nice I just think it's a little dated but I think the headlights should be led if anything I would pick the ranger or the Tacoma but it depends on your personal taste but the price idk it's not expensive but it is for the stuff that u get. But stay safe and joe if u get a chance can u compare a Hyundai palisade vs toyota highlander or a ford explorer. ♥️ from maryland
This is a nice truck..IAM looking to buy in the next two months but after seeing it has a key, no way...can't believe it:(. So I will be looking at the ridgline now..too bad cause I really like how the canyon looks..
That truck looks cool!!! I like it,
Truck guy here good one Joe
You know what thy say about GM's 3.6L V6 engine...? Run away as fast as possible!
Scotty Kilmer liked your post.
The 3.6 HFV6 has been out of date for at least ten years. It has always been weak on torque numbers. I think I’d rather see the 4.3 or a new 3.8 Turbo.
@@2W3X4YZ5 He's not the only UA-cam mechanic that's hated the GM 3.6L... I've seen a few others that have also hated it.
My wifes friend has had the 3.6L emgine replaced once in her 17 Z71 Colorado and now it is acting up again. I will stick with my Tacoma.
I like the body design and interior.
I dislike the key ignition and manual seats.
It sounds sweet when accelerating
Great review. Thanks.
GMC Canyon AT4 vs Ford Ranger FX4. Nothing really changed except for the grill, the Diesel engine, and the at4, that I would assume doesn’t have skid plates. Idk about this😕
Have they fixed their transmission issues yet?
Great review Joe - I just don't understand the Chevy/GMC trucks designs. A massive air dam on the off-road Canyon (I don't think they made this mistake with the Colorado?), goofy antennas (Ford's ranger is guilty of the same, granted), underwhelming interiors on both the Colorado and Canyon no matter the trim, an average reliability rating - I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head wondering what's supposed to draw me to either of the vehicles, when everything's taken into account.
I was expecting more From the truck
I know how you feel!
Canyon has had the duramax option since 2016 just like the olorado....
id only be interested in one of these trucks at the base sl model or something cus the price is ridiculous for what u get on any other trims
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.
Just not enough to justify 40+ grand.
No thanks...I'll stick to Tacoma. Manual rear sliding window, Toyota corrected that mistake (finally) Key a key to start? Also for an "off road package" get rid of those low plastic air dams and some actual ground clearance. I swear a Subaru has more ground clearance. Also for an off road package how about an electronic rear locker? I'm guessing this has the manual locker like the full size trucks? Both could use and electronic one that the driver can control.
Lastly, resale value Canyon will never have the resale a Tacoma does.
Only good thing I see is the fog lights, nothing else changed. Also, can't stand the gage cluster, looks like a 2015 equinox and the digital screen is not centered. I have OCD, this truck simply can't happen for me because of that...
To be honest im pretty disappointed, Ive always wanted a more luxury colorado zr2 and thats what I expected this to be. but it seems no better than my 18' canyon SLE trim with after market offroad parts which is much cheaper than the AT4. the crawl control and hill decent/start can all be mimicked with a good enough driver. Good video though, very thorough review.
I have heard the Goodyear tires pull hard to the left.
Not that I noticed.
Lol nice 🤣
Is this replacing the all terrain version?
JOE ~ off topic (sorry) you already know I dig this report, but brother have you seen the new Aston Martin SUV? ow baby, tony be liking, me be liking a lot. in real life I do use correct grammar - only for comedic purposes do I talk crazy baby talk. so I'm thinking Labor Day weekend would be a great time for me to invite myself down to visit with you & Lori for a few months. hahaha. factoid - tony has a doctorate Master's Degree PhD. in Art History - yeah I know it's hard to believe butt it's true. so me kinda smart about some stuff, but I LOVE cars & I love this channel. - tony
have they corrected the 8 speed transmission yet
Hey nick review GMC Canyon Elevation 2022!
