      Downshift you don't need to go into the vehicle icon to turn on the lights. There is a dedicated icon at the top of the screen that takes you into the lights, one press and you're there.

      @@carbonking53 I can't see it being unsafe and I definitely don't think it's "stupid". Different, yes, but I bet it will be more common. Like cruise buttons on the wheel vice a stalk, or push-button vice a key or rotary shifter vice a lever, etc.

      @@Dusdaddy If you have to look away from your driving sight line to locate an on screen button then it's time you are not watching what's going on in front of you. Light controls on the stalk require no look. Just reach and rotate. It's very simple to see how on the stalk is safer.

And that's AFTER I add the sunroof and multifunction tailgate. Those were the only two options I factored in with the truck in TWO wheel drive. Ridiculous. I paid $11,000 less for my current car when new.

    The lights aren’t one click, it takes three. Absolutely stupid. I bet the switch is back in ‘24 or ‘25. I was seriously considering a Canyon before I saw this engineering fail. I will just wait for the new Tacoma. All the fan boys can make all the excuses they want. Good for them. In reality certain controls need physical “no look” switches.

    Fighting the urge to trade my 2023 Tacoma TRD off-road for a 2024 Canyon AT4. Tacoma is reliable yes but it drives like crap on the highway and the interior, while functional and utilitarian, is seriously lacking in quality materials. The plastics scratch so easily it is ridiculous. And even after a OTT tune the shifting is still lackluster and the engine is simply underpowered. It has to downshift on the slightest grades to maintain speed. The HP and torque of the Canyon should be a welcome change.

    I downgraded from a 2020 Canyon to a 2023 Canyon elevation.
    These trucks are fleet trucks used for service work with a cap on the bed.
    Here are what they took out / downgraded:
    4-Low
    Dampened tail gate, new tail gate drops hard and the door handle pops out
    5ft bed, nearly useless for work
    No more sliding sun visor, no lights in visor
    Power driver seat gone
    Voice control without a subscription
    No towing capability (no hitch from factory)
    Center console smaller
    No overhead sunglasses compartment
    No driver/passenger dedicated dome light
    As mentioned before, the 5tf bed introduced all kinds of problems. I can't fit a 6ft ladder in the bed, therfore I now have a ladder rack over the cap. The 4 banger is extremely sensitive to aerodynamic loads, as a result I'm getting significantly worse fuel economy.
    The 23 is also plagued with the new technology woes. Constant anti collision false alerts, annoying stop/start and the absolute abomination of a user interface where most useful buttons now are. Speaking of which, the backlight doesn't dim so at night there's this massive rectangle of light in your peripheral vision. I have to throw something over the screen at night to properly see the road.
    Also, the headlights are aimed too high from the factory and people will always be flashing their high beams at you. It's extremely frustrating.
    If I could chose my truck, I would ditch this Canyon and go back to my 2020

    Pickups need to start coming out as EVS. Letting the battery stick out about 5-6 inches into the truck bed is NOT an issue for some people like me. That way we can get some decent range instead of trying to squeeze the tiniest possible one into the back seat. I would buy an EV Canyon if the battery was that large. One thing that makes no sense, Ford won't use the engine bay to hold the battery and it can hold a TON of stuff in there. I don't want to spend all night charging my truck when the range isn't even 50 miles...
    EV technology so far, has not impressed me and it will always cost a fortune. To the drunk EV fans who say "Naaaaah!" If there is NO competition, there is no reason to drop prices. In fact, despite what Tesla fanboys claim, the brand HIKED its prices thousands of dollars on all models. I am not spending more than I have to if in a few years, they suddenly drop them $3-4,000. But I get the feeling they won't. There's no alternative so they won't make them more affordable.

    Nice video. Doesn’t feel like GM went all in. Just ne cab size and one bed size. Just one engine and transmission, the weak 8-speed. Instead high prices and some nice interiors. Pass.

    Glowing review of what is really basically an average truck interior... so you're mary barra's pool boy?

    This is the best-looking mid-size truck on the market right now.

    Good video but I couldn’t finish watching because he he has the Kardashian phonetic croak at the end of most of his sentences. 😖
