Absolutely pleased, and impressed with my 2023 Colorado ZR2. This truck is solid, engine is FANTASTIC and a joy to drive. Price & mpg is what you pay for Rubicon level capability. Just one man's experience...and opinion.
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience. It’s great to hear from owners.
I have a Jeep Gladiator (Rubicon) myself, but the only other "top-dog, seriously off-road-focused 4x4" mid-size truck I'd consider is the new/improved Colorado ZR2. Were I looking for a full-size truck, I'd check out the Silverado ZR2.
-- BR
I purchased the 2024 AT4 a month ago and appreciate it in numerous ways. Got the MT tires and yes they look far better, also the steps that again improve the over all look, and I then added a Diamondback tonneau cover to finish it off. Went with the sterling metallic color and had it ceramic coated to help ease its maintenance needs. The AT4 isn't meant to be driven off road like the AT4X, but instead is a capable tower/in town rig that'll allow you some off road access if absolutely necessary. Interior lacks storage so pack light, and I installed a storage unit under my Diamondbacks anterior area that provides ample storage for my needs... and a foot of open space below it so I can still haul lumber if needed.
the tow package is an option.
adaptive cruise control is an option
👍🏼
@@RobertD-y42 the truck I am speaking about is the Colorado Trail Boss it starts at 40,000, but you can get the tow package and adaptive cruise for 42k
So after 30 minute it was much adieu about nothing….
🤔
I agree except for loose door handles and gas mileage. I think he bought a lemon.
Yeah I bailed after 4 min. Too much BS.
Click bait bullshit
It was exhausting to watch. He’d take 10 minutes to reach any single ultimate point about a subject he brought up.
I loved my new 2023 Canyon but the door issue was something i noticed in the first few days. I often push myself up with my arm on the arm rest etc. I ended up trading back up a 1500 AT4. That truck is bigger, but it’s wonderful.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I plan on getting the at4x, I don't understand your complaints about the cheap interior...Its easily the nicest interior in the midsize truck segment.
Nicest looking. I agree. It was the build quality I struggled with.
@@GTGarageTalkyeah ok
Why get an AT4X when you can get an elevation instead is $10k cheaper? And looks the same. Only difference is the suspension integration and the At4 logo😂
Why pay $10k more when the elevation is literally the same!?..😂
@@nelegion9596 Its not, I bought the AT4X. On the outside it looks similar but there is a lot of tech on the inside that that is not present in the lower trims. Even the Denali.
What would happed if the screen stop working will you not be able to use your lights anymore?
40 minute video: guy doesn’t like the interior door handles. The End.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Thanks! At 5 minutes I’d had enough rambling so came to the comments and found yours. Just saved me 35 more minutes
Love my 2024 Canyon, the things you say are missing are available options. You should have purchased a more option loaded AT4.
A lot of these are kind of dumb complaints. GM couldnt put an all windows up button because of safety regulations, you dont want an accidental swipe to suddenly change whether you are in 2h or 4h. Early MPG is useless because the engine has not been properly broken in yet. Aside from reviewers moving some lesser used features to the screen is fine.
Other reviewers tend to explain things better or give caveats when talking about an engine that hasnt been broken in.
I did admit that all of the complaints you addressed were minor nitpicks… But the real dealbreaker for me was the build quality and it just how cheap it felt inside
Watch Motor trends review.. mpg sucks and it’s not really faster than a Pro 4x
You are right that most of your issues are nitpicking. I always have a few with any vehicle. The doors are a real issue. Hopefully the software will be improved with updates. I do think the fog lights need to be with the headlights, not down another level but i don't mind not having a physical switch with s automatic lights.

I appreciate an honest real owner review from someone living with the vehicle and playing for it out of your own pocket instead of paid biased auto "journalists" who only have them for a limited time and just one in a fleet of vehicles. Much appreciated, thanks!!
Full transparency, this was provided to me from GMC.
They are a sharp truck! I just hope that mew turbo 4 last with regular maintenance, as well as the transmission
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
my 2016 z71 with the v6 gets 22-23 mpg around town, 26-27mpg hwy. I'm really interested in a '24 z71, but would really like the same mpg
Your not the best I get is 17.4
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
I prefer the more aggressive ZR2 Colorado. GM should have made more of a distinction on the exterior, between trims on the Canyon. They all look the same. AT4 and AT4X should stand out more from the rest of the Canyon lineup. I agree on the rock rails. According to GM, they can support the weight of the vehicle and are durable regardless of being mounted to the body.
We are hoping to get in a ZR2. 🤞🏼
Completely agree with backseat utility....it sucks. Biggest rant I have. Let's face it, not many people are going to buy a mid-size to haul people. So, most owners will use the back seat for cargo. And GM failed miserably. Fold the seat up to maximize space and you have this giant floor fixture sticking up so nothing like a box (case of beer) can fit easily, or anything else. Absolutely worthless. Of course, some idiot will say "Use the bed dummy, it's a truck!" Not always available and not as secure or weather protected. Besides, why give me a backseat if its only use is for small passengers? Kids grow up you know....
Agreed.
Idk what you guys are talking about, backseat is way more spacious than most other trucks in the segment, sure utility space i agree isn't much But it fits people just fine? Unless your friends and family are 6'5 giants you'll fit fine in the back.
@@sammysosa389 Way more spacious? LOL...I have yet to see a single review say that. Most roomy to least-Gladiator, Ridgeline, Ranger, Frontier, GMs and then Taco.
@ Well I don't need a review to say that cause I've been in every one of those trucks and the canyon is definitely one of the more spacious ones, the Taco being the Smallest. I'm 5'10 and most people I know are around that height the tallest being 6'2 and all of them fit in the truck super easy, plenty of head room and leg room as long as the people in the front driver/passenger aren't a holes with Their leg space.
I want them to remove the steering wheel its not needed anymore. A single joystick can steer this or I’m just too young?
🤔
I think you did a good job on the review and being a straight shooter with those issues. It is a lot of money and there is NO REASON anyone should provide excuses for it and minimize expectations. If GM wants our money then we EXPECT a better job.
Thanks for watching and for your comments
Yah it has some quirks. Door panels for sure. Confusing buttons and toggles and screens you get used to real quick. I’ve had mine almost a year and aside from some turbo lag I love driving it.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
I wish they would have kept the v6 and the long box options for my ice fishing sled and ATV. + I can haul one face cord of firewood in my current 2022 Colorado long box.
Trust me, this engine is plenty powerful
Loved the honest review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
What is the point of the rear sliding window ? Time to get rid of it. The back seat storage does suck.
its for grabbing beer outta the back lmaoo
I have one in my truck and it’s never been open in almost a year and a half.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
$48,500 if you add the premium package. You can also change your settings and it auto locks when you walk away. Not many complaints as of yet with my purchase. You can also get the full Custer with the premium package in the AT4. I also added the 20” tires. They fill the fender well so much better and really make the truck look so good. The all windows down but not up is my only real complaint.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Thanks for the great review. Been looking at this but the low mpg, so much controlled from screen and no homelink remote has me looking elsewhere .
homelink ? you must be 80

Nice review. Thanks. Little long but thorough. Thanks for pointing out some negatives. Those door handles would drive me bonkers.
Thanks for watching.
I started out disappointed for you, as I knew you liked this truck (on paper) prior to the test drive. It sounds like you were good with the mechanicals, but not the features and some materials. The dash squeaking is not unexpected. This has bugged me for years in many GM vehicles. Good for you to point out these annoyances. The perception of quality goes down with each misstep.
P.S. Loved the confessional! That should become part of every review.
Loved this truck and was SO heartbroken to leave with this impression.
I can live with most of these shortcomings, but what was that about adaptive cruise? It has it or no? That would be a deal breaker for me.
This particular one did not. I do believe it is optional. My complaint was that it had all the necessary hardware without actually having the feature.
@@GTGarageTalk Thanks.
It’s nice that you get to review these vehicles before buying…my Sierra is great, but similar interior trim issues. The faux wood grain (that also looks bad) squeaks, rattles, etc when it heats up….something I couldn’t tell on a test drive or two on a mild temp day, but when the interior heats up the entire thing gets very squeaky to the point of absolute annoyance. Too bad on such an expensive vehicle, stickers for 68 bought for 56
Ordered and waiting on my 24 canyon Denali, white . While I’ve been waiting I’ve scoured RUclips on reviews of the new generation . This may be the most annoying I’ve sat thru . Ugh . I ordered and my complaint is no peer rear window and no front hood struts . Weird view of you driving makes the steering whelk look tiny ? Just wondering you mentioned seat height adjustment. Anyone know the max height seating ? I’m coming from a 2020 f150 and it’s about 35-36 inches from the ground , same less or higher ? Thanks

Another video concerning the tailgate situation found water in there. So for Pacific Northwest region good luck hatching green moss. The hitch missing is odd and I am curious why is it missing on this highly capable truck? Is it due to another cost savings? Is it a inexpensive dealer after market add on? Or is it to rain ground departure ground clearance.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
They have optional adaptive cruise. And obviously an optional tow hitch
😉
Exactly. I got mine with the packages I wanted and, thus, don't have to complain
@@Mournful3ch0 and yet... here you are...
@@GTGarageTalkyou take criticism bad..lol
@@MrCallofDuty56 when the previous commenter also shares a post that starts "You know, I don't find myself saying rude things very often..." 🤷🏼♂
Can’t you put boxes on the back seats? Probably more cu ft with seats up?
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Do all these squeaks sound off when you are driving, or just when you push on them???
THAT IS IMPORTANT. YOU DIDNT SAY!!!!!
It does squeak when driving.
Give it time. It will. That's when Toyota shines. After 60k miles. No rattles. @@GTGarageTalk
@@itsallminor6133uh huh
For 50 grand I’d be nit picking!! Awesome! Review Thank you for sharing
The biggest question is there going to be any shuddering have they fix the problem???
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
My biggest complaint is the 8" cluster screen instead of the 11" on the elevation and at4, but I hear the 11" is an option on the 2024s 🤞
🤞🏼
The 2024 Canyon RPO build book indicates 11" screen standard for all models...I ordered a blue AT4 with spray-in bed liner and Advanced Trailering Package in July...hopefully I'll see it by March...
@DaveB4529 nice I don't think I can order a 2024 in canada yet but as a gm employee, I get first build dibs so that's nice at least lol
@@DaveB4529 they might also be talking about the center console screen
RPO URF - Driver Information Center, 11" diagonal full digital display, listed as Standard for Elevation, AT4, AT4X and Denali...the DIC is your gauge cluster, not the infotainment system...
God that was painful and not that meaningful either. You drone on like a total complainer over a door panel. I have the identical truck and it has proven to be one of the best new trucks I’ve ever had. Next time you get a bug in you, make it a two minute review please.
Glad you’re not experiencing the same issues. 👍🏼
Thank you, Cory for an honest review of this GMC Canyon AT4. Most reviewers I think are scared to report anything negative worrying that the manufacturer will not supply them with anymore vehicles to test. I would rather have some LED bed lights instead of a ruler. Car size mirrors. The Owner's Manual was about as thick as a magazine. Cory if you buy that truck Holli is going to put you out with the weekly garbage for sure.
🤣
Most are paid off.
And a headlight button or switch.
The items you complained about are options. Skid plates, tow receiver. 360 camera etc....You buy a Yugo you have to pay extra for power windows LOL
…and it already feels overpriced. Surprisingly, we liked the even-more-basic Colorado Trail Boss.
The zR2, front underbody portion is metal. Why the GMC version isn’t? Engineering weight savings, no idea
Well thanks. Talked me out of it lol. Seriously like the looks of the new Canyon and was considering "downsizing" from an F150. But you've helped confirm what I suspected all along; its simply not worth getting rid of my fullsize pickup. I wanted to SAVE when downsizing. Whats to SAVE here? NOTHING! MPG? Nope, my F150 crewcab twin turbo v6 averages low 20's all day. Price savings? Nope again, as I paid the SAME money as this AT4 for my crewcab 4x4 F150. Garage space? "Maybe", but we are talking a foot. That's it. A foot shorter overall than a CREWCAB short box fullsize F150, and 4 inches on each side narrower. Big whoop. I still couldn't use my garage any different than I do now. BUT, the "feel" inside between the two IS huge, however; the F150 is massively bigger inside in every way. Which equates to more comfort. And it seems built better. Even the turning radius is similar! So in short; to me, there is no "savings" at all in a midsize truck versus fullsize. And my engine with more horsepower and torque actually gets BETTER gas mileage. It's a no brainer now. Thank you.
While it is never my goal to talk someone OUT OF a vehicle, I am happy I have helped you make a decision you are happy with. Thanks for watching.
Have you looked into a new ranger? Perhaps the raptor ranger?
I agree with this person review on build quality of this new truck. Interior quality build is lacking for what you would pay for this. But the engine, chassis and transmission and infotainment is the star of this vehicle

Excellent information. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Great information..thks!!
Thanks for explaining all the annoyances. Those would really annoy me, as well. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
Be sure to check out our off road test of it:
ruclips.net/video/Q6NnUSLvaBs/видео.htmlsi=SHcyDe5GLmAK7Zj7
I've owned the truck since July and haven't had a problem with (or noticed) most of the things pointed out here. The door flex doesn't happen when you are using the door, only if you pull on it when it's closed already so I never even noticed. Dash doesn't move or make noise on my AT4. In day to day driving the truck is great, there's always room for improvement though
Great review I 100% agree with you, I'm considering on buying one myself
Thanks for watching.
I’m sure I was tougher on it than I would have been if I weren’t potentially shopping it myself. I really did love it off road.
Here is our off-road test
ruclips.net/video/Q6NnUSLvaBs/видео.html
The dash on my 23 AT4 doesn't have that much movement. The doors do but it's not something I noticed. Owning the truck since July with over 5,000 miles on it, my only true dislike is the start/stop. I turn it off every time I think of it but wish it could be disabled permanently. This thing tows my 21ft boat very nicely. There are always going to be small gripes but I'm overall happy no question
@@GTGarageTalkhave you looked into the 2024s I’m thinking about them!
The Colorado Trail Boss looks great too compared to the Canyon AT4 but is 10k cheaper witch makes it’s better for me! I also had my Colorado TB Calibrated to 430torque, also you do realize the competitors truck are plastic too, dumb reason to not like this truck!
LOL Even my Colorado TB has the towing package, I’m so glad I didn’t spend 10k or more for a GMC Canyon AT4 , I love my truck I don’t cry about every little thing about it!
ruclips.net/video/Q6NnUSLvaBs/видео.html
Lol 8 months later the Toyota Tundras engines are popping every where and the new Tacomas are blowing Manuel AND automatic transmissions and breaking 4 wheel drive parts, don’t forget the GM turbo engine has been out since 2019 with ZERO serious problems! Also the touch screen and buttons in new Tacoma literally look like a Fisher Price!
Great Honest review. I wish most would be honest with the viewe
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video. No hitch receiver at that price point is a deal breaker. All your points are valid points, for 50k there are too many annoyances, I’ll wait for the Tacoma.
Thanks for watching.
Why you would buy this truck without the pro trailering option is beyond me. Adaptive cruise control is available as well. I have this truck with both and they work great
@@mt186 Thanks for sharing.
They really don't make it clear on the build website that the truck will not come with a trailer hitch if you don't order the "Prograde Trailering System". I've never even really thought about whether a pickup truck will come standard with a hitch or not, its a reasonable assumption that it will. I will use the hitch; for a bike rack and an extend a bed. I'm not paying them $800 for a 2" receiver hitch. If I was towing enough to warrant that whole package, I would just get a full sized truck. @@mt186
Dang I wonder if the 2024 canyon has the same problem with the squeaky doors and door panels
I have your answer!
ruclips.net/video/wfqh0Mn3n-4/видео.html
I've been thinking about this truck but I think I'll keep my '17 Taco TRD Sport, ext cab V6. I get same MPG and have a bigger box.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Just curious, what’s wrong with 20” wheels?
Nothing, for an on road vehicle. Off road you want more sidewall on your tires
20" are a sin on a truck.
Off road mean small wheels and large tires. Especially when you air down.
Ride quality.
When changing summer over to winters, 20 inchers are bloody heavy. I like my 22 canyon 2wd.with 18-inch rims that are heavy enough.
All your issues are because you didn’t select the correct packages for what you wanted. Mine has 360 cameras, adaptive cruise control, and a trailer hitch.
the issues of not having those things are more around its price as-tested as well as the trim not coming standard with things like skids if it is the off-road version.
I totally agree… Those are options you can add
Only complaint IMHO is the auto locker, should have an option with a manual push button locker like the at4x has. I don't want a guessing game of when it will come on. but let's be truthful, who is really going to take a 55k+ $$$ vehicle offroad...
Mine had about 200 miles before the tests began. The g80 will be very familiar to previous GM customers and works well if you're consistent on the throttle
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Knew you would mention absence of tactile light switch. Tactile light switch has been in vehicles for over a hundred years.
Yup
what is the build date of that truck?
March of 23
It was a Thursday. Can’t remember the exact date.
Enjoyed your views and couldnt agree more with your legitimate criticisms. These are some real concerning things as to just why so much seems ' goofy ' with the Electronics layout and function or lack of. halogen lights at this price ? rock sliders that would attach to the body ?? What is that ? I just try to imagine me sitting in the boardroom and hearing some Engineer say yes let's put the button in to lower all the windows but no button to put them back up....Hows that sound people ? Oh Thats GREAT ! We'll do that.... ????? Just silly little stupid things like that. But, at the end of the day, as always people are buying... and thats all that matters to GM.

Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Yep, this definitely isn't for you, and the reasons you listed for buying it (fitting in driveway and driving around parking lots...not kidding) solidified that fact. We buy these for tooling around the northern mountains and navigating the southern sandstone in Utah. The shock system alone is a big win for GM, and the power they generate from these lighter 4 cylinder engines is excellent across the power ban. Where you go wrong is not realizing the vast majority will have similar priorities as you, while those of us who will actually take this off-road more often than rarely to occasionally, will wait for the legitimate after market parts to come out.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
Yeah, I think you’re being a little nitpicky but I just brought home a brand new 24 canyon, at4x everything you talked about I went out and checked the bolsters on the doors on the armrest and on the dash do not make that noise on mine my back glass fits fine Every car location of controls is different. You need to get used to it if you’re gonna own one GM doesn’t need to make it to fit you. I have a new Z06 and a lot of the controls are the same pretty nitpicky for such a nice truck. Sounds like you need a Hooptie station wagon.
I’d love the RS 6 Avant I just tested.
@ OK I just looked it up. It looks like you.
The 2025 Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate I posted yesterday was another fun one.
@@GTGarageTalk I have one of those also. Besides price, there’s not a whole lot to bitch about.
My 2023 Elevation trim has the properly mounted hitch that was a 495 dollar option that also has all the wiring included with that option. If you want to tow, than order accordingly instead of complaining. Its an all terrain vehicle, not an all terrain towering vehical. Also, if you want metal plates underneath the front end, then order the AT4X version. You are awfully hard to please.
🤷🏼♂️
I was curious about the packaging of the AT4 trucks across the Canyon, Sierra 1500, and 2500. A Canyon AT4 comes in around $50k but a Sierra 1500 AT4 comes in around $70k and a Sierra 2500 comes in just over $70k. I’m not sure why they package the 1500 so close to the 2500. I would expect these trims to all hit around $10k over the smaller model. Also the only gas engine option for the 1500 is the 6.2 and it’s also priced above the duramax option. I think they should really consider putting the 5.3 in as an option.

I really wished the canyon and Colorado came in v6. im really considering the new frontier at this point! affordable and its a good car
the 2025 Frontier got a mild update with a larger screen inside.
I will say, the 4-cyl in the Canyon/Colorado is not a concern from living with several for review.
I agree with you on the incandescent lights exterior and interior, however not everyone is going to off road this truck. If you are, you can option skid plates. Not everyone is going to tow. If you are, opt for the trailering package. You can't put all four windows back up due to safety regulations not an oversight by GMC. Btw the AT4 is moving to a full gauge cluster for 2024.
The window thing is incorrect. Other GM vehicles have express up/down. Otherwise, yes valid points. I, as someone who really wanted to buy this truck before, now have hesitations on how well it will physically hold up over the first year…
The mid-size trucks by GM, the AT4, the Trail Boss, and the Z71 should come with skid plates like the Silverado versions do. You can get skid plates on the GM mid-size versions. You just have to pay $700.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
I've got the AT4, love it but I also have the MT Tires and wow, they are noisy at low speed (35 mph)...
That’s not too surprising. I think I’d still rather have those MTs though. 😉
Here is our off-road test
ruclips.net/video/Q6NnUSLvaBs/видео.html
So you had a huge smile when you accelerated. You love the styling. You said it was "nearly perfect". It parks right. I don't know man-- I had a '21 and just bought a Denali '23 Canyon for the wife. Every complaint I heard could be summed up with "I should have got the Denali trim". On your tow hitch point I feel like you are forgetting human nature-- If they give access to a bumper ball, someone somewhere is gonna try and put the 7700lbs to the bumper, which would not end well. Putting an Express Up button to all 4 windows is asking for a lawsuit when someone's kids rolls up the window on his sister or the family dog.
OK. I just got to the part about the doors. That would piss me off too- My doors don't do that- you should take it in.
We are hoping to test a Denali. Maybe that would change our minds here.
Road and track rated this truck number one. You should buy one and test drive it until 50,000 miles first and see what you think before you review
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
This is actually how I felt about my 2016 AT Canyon when I bought it brand new. Was so looking forward to it but was continually disappointed in the build quality over and over again. I was hoping this one might be a game changer but I think I'm looking to Toyota this time.
Believe it or not, we liked the cheaper Colorado Trail Boss better than this AT4. Though I am intrigued with the Taco.
We also just got out of this Frontier:

It's interesting that the previous Colorado had a HIGHER JD Power rating than the Taco.
The average new vehicle costs is over 48k. People have to get over the price. Its average now days. Which sucks. New 1500s with decent options are 67k.The 8 speed tans is heavily re worked than the old model. The motor is in the full sized gm twins for 2 years. If you want all the options then the Denali would be your choice.
Get over the price? NO. As long as people buy them at these bloated prices, they won't come down some.

Out of all of your complaints with this truck, the only one that even remotely concerns me would be the door panel issue. You keep mentioning it’s a $50k truck, well yeah, everything has went up. It’s called inflation and you can thank Biden for that. It’s what happens also when you increase minimum wage to $15 an hour. Everyone else’s wages are then adjusted and the costs are passed on to the consumer.
😔
Biden?
You mean the person that’s been in office while inflation is coming way down? That guy?
Gotta love ignorant right winger takes

It’s amazing….. well really it’s not
@@MarkPharaoh please enlighten me about how I’m ignorant. Yeah, you can’t. Because I’m right.
I can live with the mounting for the rock sliders, I won’t off road I’d rather have steps to get in. There’s a few other complaints I could live with, like the lights control in the screen. I totally agree with the lack of adaptive cruise control, that is a feature I use a LOT. Also at this price point power folding mirrors would be nice. I haven’t decided what to get yet,but lack of adaptive cruise control is a major consideration. Great video!
It really doesn't have adaptive cruise? Is it an upgrade option?
@@fidelbanuelos9601 I did some research it is an option, I believe the option package is $1500.
@@alexc1287 Ok, thanks.

@@GTGarageTalk I will check it out since I test drove one this weekend. Better ride than the Denali and AT4.

Video Summary:
1. Cheap Plastic Skidplates
2. Cheap interior door handles and dash
3. Poorly rear seat storage compartment
Such a shame too since the interior "looks" quality, but isn't.
Great review. Im probably going with either Nissan Frontier or Chevy Colorado
We fell in love with the cheaper Colorado Trail Boss (ruclips.net/video/gBe7EcqvrmA/видео.html) and the more expensive AT4X AEV Edition Canyon (ruclips.net/video/wfqh0Mn3n-4/видео.html), the value of this one was just a miss for us.
Great video, you explained everything perfectly. But ill pass on this one.Thank you once again.

How you drive determines whether you meet gas mileage estimates.
Don’t buy a truck if you don’t need a truck is great advice.
Don’t buy a vehicle that doesn’t have what you want.
GM does some cheap stuff. I couldn’t trust them regardless of how nice some of their products look.

Don’t be a hater. 9 yrs with my Sierra 1500 SLT. Quality build and a great truck. But it’s time to downsize. My advice drive the Tacoma and go drive a Canyon. It might surprise you. The Tacoma might be better for an off-road vehicle. Ride and road noise I dont think so. Maybe not if you have A Canyon AT4 X. It’s an off road beast. This is coming from a GMC guy. Good review seeing the other side.

I love the exterior design, but the things you pointed out just would be dealbreakers for me. 1. I can't stand that they put all the headlight controls in the infotainment system. 2. that plastic skid plate is highly disappointing, and 3. the lack of build quality at that trim level and price point. That is very very disappointing.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You may like our upcoming reviews of the 2024 AT4X AEV Edition better.
You can add the trailer package and skid plates, surround camera etc are all optional I think....a bit more money yes 😮
You are correct.
I read somewhere where a few of the slight changes they're making for 2024 involve better/non-plastic standard skid plates and the 11" Driver Information Display, both would be very welcomed.
Here I am watching this 10 months after you posted it. You gotta realize there are 300,000 of this motor out there with no issues. Just because it has a four banger doesn’t mean it’s not a good motor. Who doesn’t want 400+ torque? Who doesn’t want 22 miles per gallon going up and down the mountain on the freeway in Utah? Who doesn’t want opulence and luxury surrounding them for less than a Tacoma for $10k more with less technology, which is like driving a tin can? Yeah, I’m gonna buy anAT4.

Only had time to watch the first half....but I agree, plastic up front is cheap and so is attaching the rock sliders to the body.....
Thanks for watching.
If you look at the ZR2s, the rock sliders are mounted to the frame, and those circles are unused. I don't know what those holes are for in the body, but I dont think it's for the rock sliders.
Why do I care what you recommend? What exactly are your qualifications to tell me what is a good truck or one to avoid. My recommendation to you is to not to quit your job.
My qualifications come from testing all of the competition. Obviously these are all my opinions, make your own decision.
Things the manufacturers changed that I, and probably most people, did not ask to be changed and absolutely hate.
1. Switch to electric power steering from hydraulic (Yes, everyone noticed it and hates it.)
2. V6 engine to 4 cylinder engine.
3. Digitization of everything.
4. Lowering of steering wheel and dash (positioning is identical a prius and make drive feel like they're driving on top of the car, rather than inside).
5. Smaller rear door window. (Why slop the bottom trim upwards? Makes look cheap).
I should note everything that changed saves the manufacturer money in production even though they charge more now. Good job from the shareholders, that is if you magically sell them.

If you need to use the 4wd at all & can afford it, get AT4X, so many upgrades for your money (I bought an X a couple weeks ago).
@@Torch4Life congratulations ! Bad ass truck
Really seems as a lot of the gripes are superficial and mostly confined to how this particular test truck was optioned. There is some front underbody protection behind that air dam but if you want more you have to opt in for the skid plate package. Just my opinion but for a drawn out review that claims a bit of a biased favoring GM and so much time on build and price website some of these options/features missing should have been self evident. I love the 3rd Gen and there are some misses but overall it’s a huge leap forward in tech and capability and nothing else in its class touches it comparably optioned. Most gripes I hear/see in reviews are ridiculous because they mostly whine about features that are on full-size trucks. The biggest misses are the removal of the independent headlight control, not having a full size spare included or at least an option for one, and a little infotainment center customizability, poor rear seat and under seat design (there’s so much unnecessary over sized plastic around the steal seat frame. At the end of the day certain features will be more hit or miss depending on the individual so I HOPE those interested in them go find out for themselves.

Best looking mid-size P/U Too bad it is a GM product, 4banger turbo will not last 200k miles and has way too many electronics to cause problems, needs Nissan, Toyota, and Honda reliability
🤔
@@GTGarageTalk long term, GM(and definitely ford) have proven themselves to just not last…. I agree with every point you make and I live in Michigan! We love the big three up here, but sadly, the quality is not up to snuff…. I’m debating switching to the dreaded Japan 🇯🇵…. Would love to support domestic but it gets harder and harder year after year 🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️
I'm in a leveled 2019 diesel Colorado 4x4 long bed LT on 32" tires and the spoiler removed and it still returns 27 mpg highway so the new Colorado can't compete. I'm considering a new truck but it would be either the Silverado trailboss 3.0 diesel or I'd go back to Jeep for the Gladiator with the 3.0 v6 diesel while they're still offering it.
I wanted the Colorado trail boss but the terrible fuel economy that can be matched by the Silverado trailboss 5.3 v8 and those simple controls hidden within the problematic infotainment system are deal breakers. GM attempted to hail marry the competition but missed a tremendous opportunity to deliver a real hybrid or a 2.0 diesel based on the 3.0 from the Silverado, either would have helped it compete. The 4.3 with a 10 speed is a far better choice than the current offering as a truck engine and would have delivered better economy and reliability than the 2.7 T. AND GIVE ME A LIGHT SWITCH AND TRIP METER BUTTON! They spent a ton of money and made too many questionable choices.
Loved the 3.0L

27mpg with higher cost fuel, that probably makes it closer than you think. You can configure the infotainment to your liking and it's rare that you even need to use it anyways, resetting the trip is not needed often and headlights stay on auto. I've had mine since July and it's been completely fine
5 and 1/2 minutes in and you keep saying you don't like it, but then you say good things about it, but then you say you don't like it and you'll tell us why later. I'm out
I like it, but not for the price. There are build deficiencies and things I would expect to see on this at this price that aren’t here.
Iam looking for a nice truck but not too the price n come up short😊

Sounds like your “Personal Build” left a lot to be desired! Can’t blame GMC for that!
This is not my personal build. This is a press vehicle sent to me from GMC. My complaints are at the features missing at the price point of this truck.
Great review!
Thank you.
Gone is the crappy 3.6l v6. That’s a plus right there. It’s the engine you find blown in dirt cheap Traverse and Acadias

In the 70s, my first SUV, an IH Scout, had a 140 c.u. 4, max speed about 50 mph, no power steering, no power brakes, no synchronized gearing. These Canyons and Colorados look pretty good to me, LOL.
BTW, all power up windows are dangerous as you can choke your dog, kid, break a passenger's arm. Every review of these trucks complain about this. The driver can still up the windows, AFTER, checking with the passengers.

Wrong about the driver info screen, it's 11 inches.
What’d I say? 13? Thanks for the correction.
Thank the U A W guy Shawn fain. All car manufacturers will cut quality. 50,000 for a small truck ? No. Poor gas mileage. The full size truck gets better mileage, like 20 or 21 highway.
You’re ridiculous. This truck was designed before the new labor agreement. Stop making things up to justify how you feel. Blame the Union but ignore any of GM’s business and engineering practices.
