You can't even buy a simple FX4 package F150 from the lot because they are so behind on keeping up with demand!

Curious about the Elevation trim, granted I dont off road, but $63k for a midsize truck is mind boggling. The Denali will probably be just under $60k too. The new Canyon has a ton of great features but something $40-45k would be 👌🏻👌🏻
The crazy thing is $45k for a mid sized truck was ridiculous before Covid… $63k is just highway robery and people will keep going into massive debt to pay these outrageous prices
Absolutely love what GMC has done with the new Canyon! Very capable and incredible good looks and styling! A few detractors for me, however (for those wishing to off-road AND daily drive): Why no Super Cruise? It still uses leaf springs whereas other manufacturers have gone to coil overs. Reservations for Edition 1 AT4X's are already filled. Thanks Andre!!
You would think with manufacturers slowly streamlining and eliminating complexity like cab and bed choices and drivetrain options the cost of trucks would come down since they no longer have to manufacture so many different trims and options.
I get why the other Canyon/Colorado models have rear leaf springs. They provide better handling, comfort, stability, and safety when towing and hauling heavier loads. But 99% of the AT4x and ZR2 models are going to be used for off roading more than they are hauling and towing. Even when its going to be hauling/towing its gonna be light loads like dirt bikes, side by sides, ATV's, snowmobiles, and camping/overlanding supplies. Which NEVER weigh over 4000 lbs. Which isn't really considered a "Heavy Load". Coil springs are 100x better off road, and they're much easier to upgrade/modify than leaf springs. The Ford Ranger Tremor (and I believe the brand new unreleased Raptor models are the exact same way). The ZR2 and AT4x models should come with rear coil springs, while the other models should come with leaf springs in the rear!
Beautiful truck but why would GMC put the light controls into the infotainment screen? That's just inconvenience and unnecessary. Does it have a rear view video mirror?
clearly GM have studied what people want in their trucks in today's market. Unlike Toyota with NO TOW HOOKS! Toyota engineer stated with their "research" that many people will not utilize the tow hooks so they removed it. What firm did they hire with that crap information? The Colorado and Canyon are a step forward. This is coming from a Toyota Owner.
I reserved one from my GMC dealer. Did you happen to see where the winch control is inside the truck? Interested to see how they integrated it, or if it’s remote controlled only. Great video!
I have an 07 Colorado with the 5 cyl. and love it, has 120,000 trouble free miles but I want one of these but will wait hoping they come out with an extended cab. Don't need or want the crew cab
I'm sure it will sell well in some circles, but I don't see it being used much as a true off roader. It's just too pretty and overloaded with bells and whistles to survive long in briars, brambles, and bogs. At $60K+ its WAY overpriced to be a big seller in the general purpose/work truck market.
Similar to most high-priced off road vehicles in the US. I remember seeing a fancy lifted Wrangler during a flood a couple of years ago where the driver didn’t want to go through foot deep non-moving water. The jeep probably had a 6” lift and a snorkel. The driver turned around because he was scared to drive through water. I suspect similar people will be willing to drop $60-70k on these trucks but never take them anywhere.
@@mrjack8849 I know a gent, right now, who paid top dollar for a Jeep very much like the one you described in your response. His Jeep was ordered from the factory with what was probably every bell and whistled available on the option list for the 2019 model year to include lift kit and snorkel. Just looking at that particular Wrangler you would think the owners were off roading fools. And you would be wrong in that assumption. I'd be willing to place a small wager that that Jeep has never been on any surface more challenging than a hard packed dirt road since it looks every bit as "pretty" as it did the day he drove it home. It had just over 25,000 miles on it (the last time I had the opportunity to look inside the cab this past June), does not appear, at least to my old eyes, to have a single dent, ding, scratch, or scrape anywhere on it. The soft top is still in its box, unopened and I can only assume it is still useable. I don't sit on our front porch day in and day out, by any stretch, counting and taking notes on every vehicle that passes our house but I'm about 65% sure that Wrangler has never been driven in the rain or on a day when rain was in the forecast. I can only assume the owners wanted a "toy" but if that was the case they sure don't "play" with it much.
@@brianlyttle1338 I have never had a vehicle note over $340 a month. I have only owned midsized trucks and one midsized SUV, a Mitsubishi Mighty Max, GMC Sonoma, Chevy Colorado, GMC Terrain, and now a 2021 GMC Canyon V6 .
These mid-sized trucks starting out at $63,500 make me laugh. Not too many years ago, one could get a mid-trim heavy duty diesel truck for that money. I reckon some of the price increase is inflationary, but wow, nearly $64K for a mid-sized truck!
Mid sizers are only slightly smaller than full size and cost as much to build. Also where TF are you going to find the highest model of any truck for under like 55-60K? It is insane, but people want super safe..high milage..and bells and whistles...they are going to have to pay.
Price is about the same as a Gladiator Rubicon and when the Gladiator Launch Edition came out they were $63k and that was a few years ago. So with the inflation, material price increases and shortages it’s actually a better deal. It’ll probably ride better too.
@@TrayJayRecords 4 door wrangler with the top off is strikingly similar to a pickup. Haha tall things just stick past the roof ratchet strap it to the roll cage 😂
@@TrayJayRecords just looked and the zr2 wheelbase is stretched 3” so now only 8” shorter than a gladiator. These Baja trucks are ruining every other type of off-roading. Jeeps are getting more compelling if you don’t need the truck or towing capability
Still can't believe they went with white accent interior on an offroad truck. As it stands, if they can't be bothered to bring the lockers to the AT4 or the interior from AT4 to AT4X, going to be a super hard pass on this line.
Agreed. Mid level off road trims from Toyota and Ford both offer rear lockers standard. The G80 does not compete. The AT4 dominates for payload though. Toyota doesn't know what payload is, and the AT4 payload is still 200lbs more than the Ranger Tremor.
Not everyone needs an e locker. The g80 is great for most people. I’ve never used the e locker on my taco. Never needed it. A g80 on the other hand can be handy daily.
True, but the Frontier even has a rear locker and that's probably as much truck as most any urban user would need. The tiers with GMC are just weird and seem poorly thought out for a line of trucks whose main focus is off road (GMC mor than Chevy here). I feel like they really should be selling two canyons with additional option selections (interior, HUD, lockers, sunroof). Really, my biggest actual turn off is the white interior on the ATX4. Worst part is the white is near where your dirty hands/fingers are always going to be fumbling around.
@@Dwealdric The G80 is a locker. It just mechanically locks instead of electronically. Sure... I'd rather have an electronically activated one. But the G80 does fully lock up and is frankly fine for what most people are doing and has some benefits like functioning in 2WD. From an on-road standpoint in slippery conditions its better. There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the G80 and therefore people are too negative about it. The superior articulation and wider track are going to be bigger factors in most off-road situation anyway.
@@pagodad8079 You're right, not everyone needs an off road trim truck, but off road trim trucks are what we're talking about here. If you don't get into situations where you need an e-locker, than you don't need an off road trim truck. A standard model with traction control will do you fine.
I just thought about this, GM needs to make an off road SUV with this body and platform. It would look so good. Move the rear seats back a bit and add a hatch. Boom off-road SUV that everyone has been begging GM for.
This is the 1st time I'll complain about price. This is $3000 less than my 2020 F250 Lariat Tremor package. The Interior is nicer, but that is not enough.
They are pricing normal people out. The zr2 last year with bison package and diesel which is way better for towing and fuel mileage loaded out was 56000 now we see way over 60k this is ridiculous
I just bought a Colorado, but now I am wishing that I waited a couple more months. The price tag is a bit heftier than I would like in a mid size but with all those options it would still balance out.
Andre that new GMC Canyon is absolutely breathtaking I'm like oh my God that's the best looking midsize pickup truck I've ever seen that's just beautiful the Jeep Gladiator better step his game up
Likely the same as the current v6 which is why they won't say eight now, because people would slam them for it. Or because if the higher tune for the 2.7l 4 cylinder actually produces less efficient mpg.... not gonna be a good look. Pretty much, these will be status vehicles as workers and those who want daily drivers will stay away.
@@elche1976 I mean even if the same or slightly worse, these new engines still make way more torque than the old V6 so likely better performing in other aspects to justify that. Maybe though we’ll be surprised if they’re able to get better fuel economy on top of that.
I’m from the UK and can’t believe these trucks are still using leaf springs ! Weren’t they designed for stage coaches? I drive a new Defender so I’m sure that will insight a lot of comments !
I really like the new model. As for the price, yes it’s expensive, but what would you expect with the updates and materials…. Seems ironic that only in trucks do we directly compare the full-size to mid size…. For cars and SUVs we don’t since we all know some people will prioritize a smaller size. I always think about clothes; nobody buys the larger shirt, even though it’s the same price for a larger shirt. You buy what fits and I think this will fit well for many.
I like the truck. I don’t like the price. It is crazy it doesn’t have an actual headlight switch. What if you have electronic problems? You could potentially loose the ability to control (turn on) your headlights.
I’m a Ford guy too. You should see it IS a premium rig. The shocks are several thousand dollars alone! The winch is well over $3k, it’s $4k CAD on the SuperDuty,,,,,,. The lockers front and rear,,,, the tech and design. A Mid Sized truck with 430 lb ft of torque??? It every bit a Rubicon Gladiator level truck that’s fully loaded! Plus extremely good shocks. Price out a fully loaded Gladiator Rubicon 4x4 Diesel (the closest in power to this). It will be similar or even more $$$. This will drive very nice. It will be a really great daily driver,,,, the Gladiator??? Not as nice. It would be a serious competitor to a Ranger Raptor WITH the added front locker. A Ranger Raptor will exceed this price. It’s a whole new class of mid sized truck. I have tried to go to mid sized trucks and just can’t do it. I drive a 2022 F150 Tremor XLT level interior with almost all the available options at that level including Pro Power Onboard. No twin moonroofs. I love the truck!! If it weren’t for the Pro power Onboard, I would have bought a Chevy diesel Trail Boss. Instead I have a 2022 Tahoe Premier with the Diesel in it. Another truck I love!! It’s been a good year!!! Hahaha.
@@C10sRule I agree, people are jus saying too much for midsize, with looking at what you're getting. Also, this is the top of the heap, the best of GM's new line. Plus midsize trucks are where the market is going, smart move IMO.
Looks great. The cylinder deactivation system will probably cause problems including premature engine failure. Love the front bumper and factory winch. Towing capacity is impressive. Will an AR15 fit in that tailgate cubby? Lights and other basic controls should be mechanical, tactile, and not require taking eyes off the road. The price is outrageous 😳
@@mybro727 I know it isn't GM, but the new Bronco is a good example. The valves are breaking and destroying the engines. Some of the engines are imploding with as little as 1600 miles. I'd think they would have caught this problem with just a little testing. I don't know what testing auto manufacturers do, but I suspect technology is changing so quickly, they are all rushing to releases the new shiny thing, instead of testing thoroughly. Honda had the oil burning problem and gas contaminating engine oil in their "earth dreams" engine. The new Tundra has the turbo waste gate problem. Honda is the best and largest engine producer and Toyota has the most reliable vehicles. If they are encountering problem, what hope does Ford, GM, or Dodge (Fiat) have?
Andre, what’s your opinion about growing boys in the backseats, assuming I’m 6’3. My current 2020 zr2 is starting to get tight for my 5’9 13 year old son.
This is basically everything I want the Tacoma to be. But at that price I’ll buy a Tacoma and build it better myself. But payload is higher (needed), bed liner, 33s all that’s super sweet and someone who doesn’t know how to work on a truck might go for it. I’d take this over the gladiator strictly based on size though SFA would be nice for off-roading
Just “finished” my 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road build for a bit more than this would be after tax. Super easy to say, mine is better in every way (except maybe MPG and front lockers), and I love it.
I love Toyotas, but hate to tell you the current Taco at its core is an old dinosaur. You can throw all the aftermarket parts you want at it and it still wont feel the same as either of the current GM twins let alone the 2023s coming out next year. Not trying to be hater. I work at a body shop and drive all kinds of newer cars and trucks everyday.. Iv driven both and own a 19 Zr2 and the Taco just feels old like last generation old.
@@joshnelson2090 that’s what makes it a Toyota. They use the same body style and power trains for extended course this maintaining reliability. Yes these GM twins look sick, but reliability is a huge if. Look at the Silverado played by lifter issues.
In 2021 the Tacoma sold over 240,000 units thats more then Ford, GMC, Chevy and Nissan put all together 😆 toyota will always be king and wait until the new Tacoma's come out. Also is everyone is forgetting reliability ? Cmon folks
$63,000 Clams......🤣👍.....Yeah OK buddy where do I sign up? My 2020 ZR2 cost me $37,500 but, its a 2 door....BUT! I'm 6ft tall and love being able to put an air mattress in my bed and save on $200+ Hotel fees and vactaion longer thanks to this.....Also see they fixed the rear shock mount problem in the Colorado/Canyon but, on the Siverado/Sierra ZR2 type package the rear shock mounts are right where the early Colorado ZR2 mounts were....Hanging in the breeze ready to get SMACKED and damage that DSSV shock....GM should just make the lockers avalible at al trim levels and let someone "build their own" rather than having to buy all the "foo-foo" crap a real Off Roader doesn't need.
so can you tell us besides the winch and light bar what you get over the ZR2 for that price . all the specs are the same it seems 3lift ,width ,tires ,wheels because ill be honest i like the interior better on the zr2 if i can get the winch and light bar in the after market and make sense Ill do it. I put my reservation in for the ATX4 but I dont know for sure what the price will be on the zr2 yet and what i dont get vs the atx4 . I do like the bed rails and ill have to get those. Its a real pisser I cant have the lights in the fenders like the atx4 . I need an answer cause im sure calls will go out soon to place those orders and i need more info.
The Power Passenger seat, Heads up display, 1 extra speaker, and more insulation. Outside of tangible parts it is a matter of build quality, so they say.
I don't like the fact that there is not a hard button/knob for the headlights. Auto headlights are great, don't get me wrong, but when it is foggy or raining during the day most of the time they will not trigger. There are states that have laws if windshield wipers are on lights have to be on. Same in fog, if visibility is diminished to less than 500 feet the light must be on. Would just be easier if there were a knob. Sometimes you don't know there is fog till after you are driving then you have to go into the infotainment system to activate taking your attention off the road.
Don't care for the white patches inside. Can you get different colors? Maybe match the exterior? Shock deposition seems like a good idea, but I hope they tested it out in practice as it seems like they might be vulnerable in deep ruts.
does anyone know how many atx4s were slotted to be produced? I herd that they're sold out already , does anyone know how many were sold and if its true ? why would they limit this if there selling like hotcakes? I placed my order the first day it was available to preorder i had no idea it would blow out. does anyone have anymore info.
Looks awesome, except for the white bits inside. Keeping that clean would be a pain. I mean....it's a truck! Edit: Price is....sheesh, too much, it would be tempting to just go with a full-size truck.
Why would I pay 65000 for a mid sized I can buy a power wagon for that price besides I would get a Colorado trail boss and just add front lockers it would be basically the same truck. And then on top of that price they are probably going to make you pay for all the tech what a joke.
From a technology point of view this is a pretty SWEEEEEEEET TRUCK !!!!! I hate the stratospheric price though! That is just insane even WITH factoring inflation in. This is just "gouging" the customer. SOMEBODY needs to bring the prices into line. Maybe Hyundai or Nissan could bring back a truck-style extended 5.5 foot back-bed format ruggedized Xterra with a simple easy-to-wash not-too-fancy but very eye-pleasing interior with easy-to-clean cloth or vinyl seats, simplified media/GPS screens, 33 inch M/T tires, a 3 inch lift and full underbody skidplates for $35,000 -- They would sell all they make at that price!

The soft top is still in its box, unopened and I can only assume it is still useable. I don't sit on our front porch day in and day out,
by any stretch, counting and taking notes on every vehicle that passes our house but I'm about 65% sure that Wrangler has never been driven in the rain or on a day when rain
was in the forecast. I can only assume the owners wanted a "toy" but if that was the case they sure don't "play" with it much.
What is auto on the 4wd knob? Is that a 4Auto, similar to like an AWD? Saw that on new f150s and it looks good for winter driving.
It’s nuts…is right when you consider the 60+k price…is that before of after dealer market adjustment???
That interior is gorgeous
But that price is absurd
But people keep buying them I suppose
There's a lot of rich people out there and a lot of people that don't mind paying $800-$1000 a month on a truck note
You mean keep going into even more debt. People can’t finance these without paying over 1100 a month. That used to be a mortgage payment !
I have one reserved and if I can't get a different interior I will opt out of the Edition One.
@@Steven-xj2rf how much is your monthly note going to be?
@@brianlyttle1338 I have never had a vehicle note over $340 a month. I have only owned midsized trucks and one midsized SUV, a Mitsubishi Mighty Max, GMC Sonoma, Chevy Colorado, GMC Terrain, and now a 2021 GMC Canyon V6 .
Can it fit a rear facing carseat in the back seat without affecting driving/passenger leg room?
Does it have break control for towing?
These mid-sized trucks starting out at $63,500 make me laugh. Not too many years ago, one could get a mid-trim heavy duty diesel truck for that money. I reckon some of the price increase is inflationary, but wow, nearly $64K for a mid-sized truck!
3:08 jeeeeez, the shock might have been moved to the outside but is that bracket ever low
Very impressed with this truck but 64k for a mid-size? CRAZY!
Almost fell over when he said 64k lol.
Mid sizers are only slightly smaller than full size and cost as much to build. Also where TF are you going to find the highest model of any truck for under like 55-60K? It is insane, but people want super safe..high milage..and bells and whistles...they are going to have to pay.
@@SK-GT paid 62k for a elevation with a bunch of extra packages 3.0 diesel crew cab standard bed , paid 32k for a gmc canyon in 2020
@@AmazonWebService98 yes sir, my 18 ZR2 was 44k msrp, but didn't pay that...back then. Crazy times
@@drn13355 Does it really cost the same to make a ½ ton as a hd?
do the multi matic dssv actually make city driving smooth as well?
Price is about the same as a Gladiator Rubicon and when the Gladiator Launch Edition came out they were $63k and that was a few years ago. So with the inflation, material price increases and shortages it’s actually a better deal. It’ll probably ride better too.
I'd buy this before I'd buy a jeep. But the price tells me I will buy neither until things settle down a bit
the gladiator is useless off road. I hate when I ride out with them. Wheelbase is so long they high center on everything
@@TrayJayRecords 4 door wrangler with the top off is strikingly similar to a pickup. Haha tall things just stick past the roof ratchet strap it to the roll cage 😂
@@TrayJayRecords just looked and the zr2 wheelbase is stretched 3” so now only 8” shorter than a gladiator. These Baja trucks are ruining every other type of off-roading. Jeeps are getting more compelling if you don’t need the truck or towing capability
I got in for reservation on Edition 1. Are the rock rails frame mount or body mount?
Still can't believe they went with white accent interior on an offroad truck. As it stands, if they can't be bothered to bring the lockers to the AT4 or the interior from AT4 to AT4X, going to be a super hard pass on this line.
Agreed. Mid level off road trims from Toyota and Ford both offer rear lockers standard. The G80 does not compete. The AT4 dominates for payload though. Toyota doesn't know what payload is, and the AT4 payload is still 200lbs more than the Ranger Tremor.
Not everyone needs an e locker. The g80 is great for most people. I’ve never used the e locker on my taco. Never needed it. A g80 on the other hand can be handy daily.
True, but the Frontier even has a rear locker and that's probably as much truck as most any urban user would need. The tiers with GMC are just weird and seem poorly thought out for a line of trucks whose main focus is off road (GMC mor than Chevy here).
I feel like they really should be selling two canyons with additional option selections (interior, HUD, lockers, sunroof). Really, my biggest actual turn off is the white interior on the ATX4.
Worst part is the white is near where your dirty hands/fingers are always going to be fumbling around.
@@Dwealdric The G80 is a locker. It just mechanically locks instead of electronically. Sure... I'd rather have an electronically activated one. But the G80 does fully lock up and is frankly fine for what most people are doing and has some benefits like functioning in 2WD. From an on-road standpoint in slippery conditions its better. There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the G80 and therefore people are too negative about it. The superior articulation and wider track are going to be bigger factors in most off-road situation anyway.
@@pagodad8079 You're right, not everyone needs an off road trim truck, but off road trim trucks are what we're talking about here. If you don't get into situations where you need an e-locker, than you don't need an off road trim truck. A standard model with traction control will do you fine.
Ridiculous pricing as usual. Great walk around.
Does it offer heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise and telescoping steering column?
What exterior color options will there be?
I just thought about this, GM needs to make an off road SUV with this body and platform. It would look so good. Move the rear seats back a bit and add a hatch. Boom off-road SUV that everyone has been begging GM for.
Can it hold a slide in camper?
I like it. What engine options?
What about the rear shock mount getting hung up
So... where will the front license plate go for the states that require them?
When will we be able to order the new Colorado?
This is the 1st time I'll complain about price. This is $3000 less than my 2020 F250 Lariat Tremor package. The Interior is nicer, but that is not enough.
They are pricing normal people out. The zr2 last year with bison package and diesel which is way better for towing and fuel mileage loaded out was 56000 now we see way over 60k this is ridiculous
I just bought a Colorado, but now I am wishing that I waited a couple more months. The price tag is a bit heftier than I would like in a mid size but with all those options it would still balance out.
Andre that new GMC Canyon is absolutely breathtaking I'm like oh my God that's the best looking midsize pickup truck I've ever seen that's just beautiful the Jeep Gladiator better step his game up
Did they mention any colors outside of what they have shown - which is the red?
The price of this is crazy considering that the cost of a Ford f150 tremor is $9k less.
C'mon, the most important question. What is the MPG??
Likely the same as the current v6 which is why they won't say eight now, because people would slam them for it. Or because if the higher tune for the 2.7l 4 cylinder actually produces less efficient mpg.... not gonna be a good look. Pretty much, these will be status vehicles as workers and those who want daily drivers will stay away.
@@elche1976 I mean even if the same or slightly worse, these new engines still make way more torque than the old V6 so likely better performing in other aspects to justify that. Maybe though we’ll be surprised if they’re able to get better fuel economy on top of that.
@@ALMX5DP its got bigger tires than the previous generation so that's another factor my estimate it'll be around 19 / 21 or 18 / 20
Yeah because that's why you buy a truck...🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@atg1338 actually it should be a big reason. But many look for sound and how it makes them feel validated in others view instead
Cylinder deactivation on a 4 cylinder damn that sucks it is a badass truck though
I’m from the UK and can’t believe these trucks are still using leaf springs ! Weren’t they designed for stage coaches? I drive a new Defender so I’m sure that will insight a lot of comments !
I love tuning in, and watching videos of all the vehicles I'll never afford to purchase, trust me I make a living....
Backseat legroom is the same?
Love the truck and the price is solid given the market. Now that dealerships have a taste for marking things up I doubt the prices go down.
A 6ft bed would be so much better for everyday use and also beeing able to go offroad.
Let me know more info when the WT comes out. Not touching a $60k truck unless it hauls 20k lbs.
I'm from California, do you no there show this truck in LA ? I live in Modesto 209.
The base AT4 is banger. Gm killed it.
I really like the new model. As for the price, yes it’s expensive, but what would you expect with the updates and materials…. Seems ironic that only in trucks do we directly compare the full-size to mid size…. For cars and SUVs we don’t since we all know some people will prioritize a smaller size. I always think about clothes; nobody buys the larger shirt, even though it’s the same price for a larger shirt. You buy what fits and I think this will fit well for many.
You know what else is nuts?? That price tag
Dacia Lodgy has this rack system for the roof. It's bars can be put transversal in the same idea.
I like the truck. I don’t like the price. It is crazy it doesn’t have an actual headlight switch. What if you have electronic problems? You could potentially loose the ability to control (turn on) your headlights.
As a Ford guy, that is a pretty sweet rig. If they would only price it accordingly. Too close in price to other premium rigs.
I’m a Ford guy too.
You should see it IS a premium rig. The shocks are several thousand dollars alone! The winch is well over $3k, it’s $4k CAD on the SuperDuty,,,,,,. The lockers front and rear,,,, the tech and design. A Mid Sized truck with 430 lb ft of torque??? It every bit a Rubicon Gladiator level truck that’s fully loaded! Plus extremely good shocks. Price out a fully loaded Gladiator Rubicon 4x4 Diesel (the closest in power to this). It will be similar or even more $$$. This will drive very nice. It will be a really great daily driver,,,, the Gladiator??? Not as nice.
It would be a serious competitor to a Ranger Raptor WITH the added front locker. A Ranger Raptor will exceed this price.
It’s a whole new class of mid sized truck.
I have tried to go to mid sized trucks and just can’t do it. I drive a 2022 F150 Tremor XLT level interior with almost all the available options at that level including Pro Power Onboard. No twin moonroofs. I love the truck!! If it weren’t for the Pro power Onboard, I would have bought a Chevy diesel Trail Boss. Instead I have a 2022 Tahoe Premier with the Diesel in it. Another truck I love!! It’s been a good year!!! Hahaha.
@@C10sRule I agree, people are jus saying too much for midsize, with looking at what you're getting. Also, this is the top of the heap, the best of GM's new line. Plus midsize trucks are where the market is going, smart move IMO.
Looks great.
The cylinder deactivation system will probably cause problems including premature engine failure.
Love the front bumper and factory winch.
Towing capacity is impressive.
Will an AR15 fit in that tailgate cubby?
Lights and other basic controls should be mechanical, tactile, and not require taking eyes off the road.
The price is outrageous 😳
100% there will be a tune to deactive the cylinder deactivation just like there is for the 5.3
Im pretty sure that’s what months of testing is for.
@@mybro727 if their testing was sufficient, they would not produce so many crappy vehicles.
@@mybro727 I know it isn't GM, but the new Bronco is a good example. The valves are breaking and destroying the engines. Some of the engines are imploding with as little as 1600 miles. I'd think they would have caught this problem with just a little testing. I don't know what testing auto manufacturers do, but I suspect technology is changing so quickly, they are all rushing to releases the new shiny thing, instead of testing thoroughly.
Honda had the oil burning problem and gas contaminating engine oil in their "earth dreams" engine. The new Tundra has the turbo waste gate problem.
Honda is the best and largest engine producer and Toyota has the most reliable vehicles. If they are encountering problem, what hope does Ford, GM, or Dodge (Fiat) have?
Looks more like water sports seats, straight out of a boat
IMO this brilliant but what in the interior of an off- road truck????
Maybe testing the price a bit if you keep in mind what all electric price will be, if enough takers for this price there should be something to learn.
Andre, what’s your opinion about growing boys in the backseats, assuming I’m 6’3. My current 2020 zr2 is starting to get tight for my 5’9 13 year old son.
Give us a build and price for the canyon and Colorado so I know what I’m getting myself into.
This is basically everything I want the Tacoma to be. But at that price I’ll buy a Tacoma and build it better myself.
But payload is higher (needed), bed liner, 33s all that’s super sweet and someone who doesn’t know how to work on a truck might go for it. I’d take this over the gladiator strictly based on size though SFA would be nice for off-roading
Just “finished” my 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road build for a bit more than this would be after tax. Super easy to say, mine is better in every way (except maybe MPG and front lockers), and I love it.
Traded my 2020 tacoma trd off road in on a new zr2. In NO way, is the tacoma better. Seriously
I love Toyotas, but hate to tell you the current Taco at its core is an old dinosaur. You can throw all the aftermarket parts you want at it and it still wont feel the same as either of the current GM twins let alone the 2023s coming out next year. Not trying to be hater. I work at a body shop and drive all kinds of newer cars and trucks everyday.. Iv driven both and own a 19 Zr2 and the Taco just feels old like last generation old.
@@joshnelson2090 that’s what makes it a Toyota. They use the same body style and power trains for extended course this maintaining reliability. Yes these GM twins look sick, but reliability is a huge if. Look at the Silverado played by lifter issues.
In 2021 the Tacoma sold over 240,000 units thats more then Ford, GMC, Chevy and Nissan put all together 😆 toyota will always be king and wait until the new Tacoma's come out. Also is everyone is forgetting reliability ? Cmon folks
Why no POWER rear slider? It’s 2022
$63,000 Clams......🤣👍.....Yeah OK buddy where do I sign up? My 2020 ZR2 cost me $37,500 but, its a 2 door....BUT! I'm 6ft tall and love being able to put an air mattress in my bed and save on $200+ Hotel fees and vactaion longer thanks to this.....Also see they fixed the rear shock mount problem in the Colorado/Canyon but, on the Siverado/Sierra ZR2 type package the rear shock mounts are right where the early Colorado ZR2 mounts were....Hanging in the breeze ready to get SMACKED and damage that DSSV shock....GM should just make the lockers avalible at al trim levels and let someone "build their own" rather than having to buy all the "foo-foo" crap a real Off Roader doesn't need.
$63,000 Parking Lot Princess. White and Gloss interior? Yeeech. Love the Tacoma-Inspired front end and paint colors.
I’m a ford/Toyota guy but this GMC Canyon is looking pretty sick 🔥🔥 awesome truck !
The reverse lights really detract from the look of the tail lights
It is crazier. It is $65,000. That is insane...(prior Canyon owner)
so can you tell us besides the winch and light bar what you get over the ZR2 for that price . all the specs are the same it seems 3lift ,width ,tires ,wheels because ill be honest i like the interior better on the zr2 if i can get the winch and light bar in the after market and make sense Ill do it. I put my reservation in for the ATX4 but I dont know for sure what the price will be on the zr2 yet and what i dont get vs the atx4 . I do like the bed rails and ill have to get those. Its a real pisser I cant have the lights in the fenders like the atx4 . I need an answer cause im sure calls will go out soon to place those orders and i need more info.
The Power Passenger seat, Heads up display, 1 extra speaker, and more insulation. Outside of tangible parts it is a matter of build quality, so they say.
Why did they not keep the diesel????? That engine and transmission combo was solid.
I don't like the fact that there is not a hard button/knob for the headlights. Auto headlights are great, don't get me wrong, but when it is foggy or raining during the day most of the time they will not trigger. There are states that have laws if windshield wipers are on lights have to be on. Same in fog, if visibility is diminished to less than 500 feet the light must be on. Would just be easier if there were a knob. Sometimes you don't know there is fog till after you are driving then you have to go into the infotainment system to activate taking your attention off the road.
Great. Now finally they can take/gain additional 1% market shares on midsize truck. Good job.
Nice truck and tech. It can sit at the dealer for these ridiculous prices these days f that.
Don't care for the white patches inside. Can you get different colors? Maybe match the exterior? Shock deposition seems like a good idea, but I hope they tested it out in practice as it seems like they might be vulnerable in deep ruts.
does anyone know how many atx4s were slotted to be produced? I herd that they're sold out already , does anyone know how many were sold and if its true ? why would they limit this if there selling like hotcakes? I placed my order the first day it was available to preorder i had no idea it would blow out. does anyone have anymore info.
So max towing is the same as the Colorado even though no non-ZR2 Colorado gets the "high output" version of the engine? Interesting...
Why not put a v8 Diesel engine ?????? Ain’t paying 63k for a v4 engine lmaoooooooo
Looks awesome, except for the white bits inside. Keeping that clean would be a pain. I mean....it's a truck! Edit: Price is....sheesh, too much, it would be tempting to just go with a full-size truck.
I really wish Chevrolet would release pricing and also if the new Colorado can be optioned with ventilated seats
Why would I pay 65000 for a mid sized I can buy a power wagon for that price besides I would get a Colorado trail boss and just add front lockers it would be basically the same truck. And then on top of that price they are probably going to make you pay for all the tech what a joke.
Can you though? Most nowadays go for mid80s
a turbo inline 4 w cylinder deactivation???
GM and cylinder deactivation what could go wrong? Nice looking truck though.
But do you have to pay for subscriptions to things you don’t want?
Why hasn’t GMC shown what colors are available? Ive only seen 3 colors.
From a technology point of view this is a pretty SWEEEEEEEET TRUCK !!!!! I hate the stratospheric price though! That is just insane even WITH factoring inflation in. This is just "gouging" the customer. SOMEBODY needs to bring the prices into line. Maybe Hyundai or Nissan could bring back a truck-style extended 5.5 foot back-bed format ruggedized Xterra with a simple easy-to-wash not-too-fancy but very eye-pleasing interior with easy-to-clean cloth or vinyl seats, simplified media/GPS screens, 33 inch M/T tires, a 3 inch lift and full underbody skidplates for $35,000 -- They would sell all they make at that price!
V
I can’t wait for you gentlemen to do a side by side comparison of these Chevy Colorados vs 2024 Taco’s.
I test drove a regular "AT4" and was not impressed. My stock 1998 k1500 has more ground clearance. Hope the AT4X is better.
