Wanted to buy a Tacoma, but after ordering on June 5th and waiting over 3 months they told me it would be another 2 months. Decided to not wait and bought a Canyon Elevation. Picked it up 3 days ago and couldn't be happier.
I actually appreciate your reviews. Very thorough and if I ever need or want info on a vehicle you are a good source. I know this isn't your favorite thing. But you are excellent at this. Over time if you continue on this route you'll build a name being the 'go to source' for anyone thinking of buying a car. You do so many of these. And so professional and thorough. You are good at this. You really are. One of the best I've seen on RUclips.
Just bought this vehicle and I’m so grateful that you were able to explain everything in such great detail and test drive it for us. Subbed and liked! Looking forward to more
As someone from SoCal. I really like the design of the new gmc canyon. It look sleek and different. I like the paint color. My local gmc dealer has discounts of upwards $4,000. Great video.
I thought I wanted a Tacoma, but after seeing the Canyon one day in my neighborhood. Holy crap I want that in the bronze metallic. I know it’ll cost me a bit more but honestly I’d be happy with it.
Thanks for all the details very similar to the 2024 Colorado LT.. I think I got a great deal on my truck .. I got a lot more features for less than the Canyon you are demonstrating.. I was scared I picked the wrong one but now I’m completely convinced… the Colorado LT with the upgraded package that was offered was a steal
Beautiful truck. Wow it looks like it drives fast. The digital mph is crazy to watch it go up so high in seconds. I just rented a 2021 Lincoln Navigator with twin turbos & that was crazy fast & drove smooth. Similar features 🫶
Great review! Covered all the basses well and answered my questions about this truck. We are in the market and this may be the one we were hoping it was.
Nice video. Thorough. I am a fan of the styling and capability. GM reliability is an issue for me. Supposedly, that has been addressed with the new gen and the engine/transmission. Solid payload compared to the Frontier and Tacoma. Checking out the new Ranger as well in addition to the Ridgeline and the Gladiator (Sport S with max tow package). We tow a small camper (2900 lbs loaded) and haul camping gear. I want about 1500 lbs of payload. I like both the Frontier and Tacoma, but they lack the real world payload that I want. Reliability is my only concern with the GM products. Sharp truck, though.
Agree same here. I have this truck in the 2022 model in the V6. But if I was buying one in 2024, think I probably would buy the Honda Ridgeline. Just the fact it's a 6 cylinder for 1.
It's not running right now, but in our driveway is a 74 chevy c10 long bed with a 350. It's rear wheel drive, and wouldn't spin a tire pulling a 24 foot pontoon boat from the 80s right out of the water. When we get it back running correctly I wonder how it would compete with this truck.
@@703Speed it's a steel bodied tank. It's not the fastest, but it will pull very well. I do love the tough look of the elevation, and hopefully the motor will do well.
I was thinking the elevation package was the better value over the Chevy trailboss, but they left out 4 low. Why would gmc neglect to add 4 low to this package?
I’m actually looking to get a. AT4 Next year I like the new body style and Features I currently have a Gladiator and to get a new one with the features I want would be almost 60,000. You get a lot more for your money with the GMC Canyon nice review 👍👍
Great review Kenny! I mean for the $$ that is a lot of truck and well equipped. I love the way it looks too. I wonder what is up with only one pocket in the rear instead of 2? Noticing that more often now. Anyhow hope that you are doing great!
I almost bought this because I’m not into gigantic trucks. And it looks great. After weeks of contemplating I ended up with a 24 Tacoma trd sports.. not a fan of the 4 cylinder turbo for these new trucks but I’m impress at how it seems to have good torque and power. It came down to if I’m paying almost 50k plus out the door , I’m going Toyota for these new turbo engines.
@@703SpeedExactly. The GM 2.7L has so far been pretty solid. People are biased towards it being a 4 cylinder and not reliable. The engine was built to diesel standards and the internals are very strong. The 2.7 is more reliable than a lot of engines out there.

lol that sucks but hey, it's still fewer problems than I had with my 2016 Tacoma shortly after I bought it. There was some recall for the adaptive cruise for a software update. Might want to make sure that gets done. Where is the oil leak?
I have a 2017 Tacoma with 135k miles thats been bulletproof. The oil leak looks to be from the seal of the oil pan (nothing to do with the filter of drain plug
Me too! If this were a 6 cylinder turbo I would have this in my garage by now. What was GMC thinking, no truck driver wants a 4 banger no matter if it's 2.7 liter turbo or now.
My 2019 and 2020 Ranger fx4 s had the inline 4 and even with 270 HP and 310lbs of torque it was plenty fast and your right Also on the trail all you need more of is torque I can imagine how quickly your truck gets off the line Bad ass truck no doubt but I still had to buy the Raptor it's just stupid fast
I have the 2022 V6 model in this mid-size GMC Canyon truck. I like it so far. But if I was buying a new one now in 2024, I think I probably buy the Honda Ridge line, cause at least it's a V6 cylinder. Not unless GMC or Chevrolet Colorado goes back into building the 6 cylinders. And heard Toyota now stopped making their Tacoma's in 6 cylinders to. It's also why I didn't go with the Ford Ranger, only 4 cylinders. But the Nissan Frontier also makes their versions of the mid-size truck in 6 cylinders to. But I drive one, before I got this one, but to me it's not as good as the Honda Ridgeline. And on my V6 Canyon I am averaging 17 mpg to 24 mpg in city or urban driving, (depending on time of day or how heavy traffic is). And highway and long-distance driving am averaging 35 mpg. But that weekend trip was in Pennsylvania, lots of hills etc... so idk if it saves more gas, or better gas millage from going down on many of those steep hills or not.
So your knocking an engine you know nothing about ... this engine was built from the ground up , just for pickup trucks. It's built basically like a diesel engine. Everything is heavy duty . And this engine will out pull yours with the V6 all day long
@@robertsn6584 Maybe it is an ok engine now days, and maybe they did improve on 4 cylinders, but people like me had 4 cylinders before, and I never buy another one not unless, they stop making 6 or 8 cylinders and not unless I have to buy another 4 cylinder. Other than that, for me 4 cylinders are out, and again never will volunteer to buy another one. But maybe someday I will consider buying a 5 cylinder and give that a try, to see if I like it.
Me too.2023 Elevation, black on black with about 4k in options. 9k miles with no problems except a small recall on front collision camera which was fixed at the Dealership today and only 35 minutes to fix it. Best truck of the year award in Motor trend Magazine, in the may issue.
@@johnwhitneykokalis9990 Think the 1 that I got is hard to beat. But do think the Denali version of Canyon of my 2022 is a tiny better but not all that much better.
It's beautiful, it's quick, it's price competitive. But... Q.D.R. is suspect, it's price/option quirky, and with 5' only bed, it makes the Ridgeline more appealing for anything but serious off roading. And doesn't the Colorado z71 come with a 2 speed transfer case?
QDR suspect? Having owned a 2016 Tacoma, I don't see how it would be any worse than the Toyota. We nicknamed the 3rd gen Taco the "turd gen" due to all the issues it's. There are new issues that have cropped up since I got rid of mine out of frustration. The Ridgeline is fine if you never plan on leaving pavement. If you take it off-road much, it's very hard on the AWD system and you have to start changing the fluid much more often (like every 20k or 30k miles) or risk damaging it. Quite a few have needed a new torque converter due to this. A 2-speed transfer case is available in both trucks, but is not standard in some cheaper trims that aren't really purchased with offroading in mind.
@@karlschauff7989 sure. I'll play. How long are the GM 8L90 transmissions lasting this year? Has your overnight forced software upgrade drained your battery and failed to complete,leaving your truck undrivable? Does your digital i.p. still work?
Elevation?..blech...give me a AT4...oh, wait, I took delivery of my ''24 Dynamic Blue AT4 last month WITH Trailering Package a month ago, following an 8 month wait after my custom order...I love it...
It's a pretty good engine for what it is, though I'm sure the Ford guys wouldn't be happy with it since it doesn't come with blown head gaskets standard like a Ranger.
I just has my 2023 Colorado trail boss in the shop 2 weeks ago. They had to reprogram the fuel injection system. The next week the dam ACDELCO battery at 10 months old had dropped down 7 amps so i had to get AAA to come out to my house because my truck would not start. I ended up having to buy a new battery for cost of 285.00.
It's a beautiful truck no doubt, but it's not a Toyota Tacoma. I've been trying to buy a used one (2017/2022) but them high prices $30K with 80K miles on it's ridiculous. I Would never pay that much for a used vehicle. My brother bought a brand new 2012 Double Cab Tacoma, 4" lift Pro -Comp suspension, 33" tires, for just under $27,000. Now days, the same that same truck is probably selling for the same amount lol Toyotas resale value is ridiculous.
So just like the 3rd gen Taco's gloss plastic that scratches if you look at it? Sucks to hear about the turn signals. Reminds me of my 3rd gen Taco experiences. Actually, I would have loved to only have turn signal switch issues. Go learn why the 3rd gen Tacoma is called the turd gen and why a minor thing like a turn signal switch would be a nothing problem for some of us.
@@daphoneguy934 Oh so you would buy garbage just to keep from paying taxes? Oh WOW. Just WOW. People like you are the problem in this country, no wonder our country is going to crap, I'm guessing you're a Obiden voter too. 🤣
@@user-re3fd6jl5k None of them are reliable, and I bet only 1% of the population can afford them, the rest goes in debt for years and years just to look big to their neighbors. 🤣
How is it GM being "cheap and lazy"? They still offer the 2-speed Tcase for those that need it. Why default to putting a 2-speed transfer case in a truck that someone will never be in a situation where its required. Particularly in the era of 8 and 10 speed transmissions that have such aggressive ratios in first gear that the reduction of 4-low is almost stupid (10 mph at 5k RPM). The whole mindset of the necessity of 4-low came from the era of the carbureted V8 and 3 or 4 speed transmissions where first gear might be 2.48:1, whereas first gear in the GM 8-speed is 4.56:1 and the 10-speed is 4.70:1. Like the guy said, if you want a 2-speed transfer case, all you have to do is buy one of the trims that offer it.
@@703Speed It actually isn't if you look at the gear ratios of modern transmissions and understand why a 2-speed transfer case used to be a necessity back in the era of the 3 and 4 speed transmissions. This truck has a 4.56:1 first gear. Back when trucks had carburetors and a TH400 transmission, 4-low was really important because first gear 2.48:1, which is like starting in 3rd gear in this Canyon. The 8 and 10 speeds have taken over the majority of the work of gear reduction. It's the opposite of what the Tacoma was designed to need for nearly 20 years. The Tacoma had relatively tall gear ratios in both the manual and automatic transmissions, so the Tacoma NEEDED the gear reduction to be handled by the differentials or transfer case, hence why differential regearing is so common with Tacos (and the factory ring and pinion Toy used were crappy to put it nicely). The bottom line is if you want to do rock crawling with big tires, the 2-speed Tcase is available. But if the extent of your 4WD uses is driving in snow or mud occasionally and maybe going to a 33" tire at most, the 1-speed Tcase is not a noticeable limitation.
I switched to the 24 Tundra from My Silverado HD, GM is just too damn greedy, WHY do you have to pay for that paint job on the Canyon, it’s not a metalic special process paint, it’s just a money grab, screw GM, I’m done
Toyota has upgraded paints also you have to pay for! Don’t get your gripe. Besides you can get a GM cheaper than a Toyota in the same trim….not saying it’s a better truck but it is a better looking truck…with better all around accessories
Just curious, what kind of gas mileage should a 45K truck be getting? And then the second question is, what is in the market for the 45K you would choose instead?
Please who wants a 2.7 engine it other junk engine reminds me old chevrolet vega 2.3 engine sound like. So sad 😔 GM put many classic middle screen back in 1986 into some Buicks, Oldsmobile and Cadillac they trouble with it more garbage again. GMC Canyon is worth $25,600 dollars and if more you paid too much 😅😅😅😅😅😅.
Redlining an engine with 10 miles on it and then wondering about the longevity of the engine - priceless. Break-in period? Nah, that's so passé; it's like 1985, dude. I feel bad for the guy who will end up buying this particular truck. I bet he will be fixing the engine before warranty runs out.
Wanted to buy a Tacoma, but after ordering on June 5th and waiting over 3 months they told me it would be another 2 months. Decided to not wait and bought a Canyon Elevation. Picked it up 3 days ago and couldn't be happier.

Nissan Frontier pro4x is the way to go 😊
Nice but way overpriced you might as well buy the big boy
Toyota has gotten way too expensive

THAT LICENSE PLATE THO... LMAO
Wait until the piano black shifter area turns into a mess. Wait until the turning signal quits. Working like most of them are doing.
So just like the 3rd gen Taco's gloss plastic that scratches if you look at it? Sucks to hear about the turn signals. Reminds me of my 3rd gen Taco experiences. Actually, I would have loved to only have turn signal switch issues. Go learn why the 3rd gen Tacoma is called the turd gen and why a minor thing like a turn signal switch would be a nothing problem for some of us.
NO TOW HITCH! No Buy…
Then option it one with one ya big baby.

The Honda is not a truck
No real hitch, hard pass.
It’s unbelievable
Anybody that would buy any new vehicle from any brand is only showing their ignorance. 🤣
Why? If u have a business its a right off.
@@daphoneguy934 Oh so you would buy garbage just to keep from paying taxes? Oh WOW. Just WOW. People like you are the problem in this country, no wonder our country is going to crap, I'm guessing you're a Obiden voter too. 🤣
okay if we can afford it and it’s a reliable vehicle then what’s the issue
@@user-re3fd6jl5k None of them are reliable, and I bet only 1% of the population can afford them, the rest goes in debt for years and years just to look big to their neighbors. 🤣
@@daphoneguy934 You mean "write off"? I'm pretty sure with spelling like that you don't own a business. 🤣
YES! You should just buy a Tacoma. Now you know.
GM continues to cut corners to be cheap and lazy. You lost me at 1 speed transfer case.
Pretty ridiculous imo
How is it GM being "cheap and lazy"? They still offer the 2-speed Tcase for those that need it. Why default to putting a 2-speed transfer case in a truck that someone will never be in a situation where its required. Particularly in the era of 8 and 10 speed transmissions that have such aggressive ratios in first gear that the reduction of 4-low is almost stupid (10 mph at 5k RPM). The whole mindset of the necessity of 4-low came from the era of the carbureted V8 and 3 or 4 speed transmissions where first gear might be 2.48:1, whereas first gear in the GM 8-speed is 4.56:1 and the 10-speed is 4.70:1.
Like the guy said, if you want a 2-speed transfer case, all you have to do is buy one of the trims that offer it.
@@karlschauff7989 spoken like a true city slicker who has never gotten out of the concrete jungle.
@@703Speed It actually isn't if you look at the gear ratios of modern transmissions and understand why a 2-speed transfer case used to be a necessity back in the era of the 3 and 4 speed transmissions. This truck has a 4.56:1 first gear. Back when trucks had carburetors and a TH400 transmission, 4-low was really important because first gear 2.48:1, which is like starting in 3rd gear in this Canyon. The 8 and 10 speeds have taken over the majority of the work of gear reduction. It's the opposite of what the Tacoma was designed to need for nearly 20 years. The Tacoma had relatively tall gear ratios in both the manual and automatic transmissions, so the Tacoma NEEDED the gear reduction to be handled by the differentials or transfer case, hence why differential regearing is so common with Tacos (and the factory ring and pinion Toy used were crappy to put it nicely). The bottom line is if you want to do rock crawling with big tires, the 2-speed Tcase is available. But if the extent of your 4WD uses is driving in snow or mud occasionally and maybe going to a 33" tire at most, the 1-speed Tcase is not a noticeable limitation.
@karlschauff7989 thanks for skillfully explaining this. I appreciate it!
I switched to the 24 Tundra from My Silverado HD, GM is just too damn greedy, WHY do you have to pay for that paint job on the Canyon, it’s not a metalic special process paint, it’s just a money grab, screw GM, I’m done
It actually is Metallic…
Toyota has upgraded paints also you have to pay for! Don’t get your gripe. Besides you can get a GM cheaper than a Toyota in the same trim….not saying it’s a better truck but it is a better looking truck…with better all around accessories
A Tundra cost 10k more at a base model lol. You also pay for paint upgrades with any manufacturer. What are you talking about ?
Shit take.
If you don’t want the best mid-sized truck, then definitely buy a Canyon instead of Tacoma.
45k truck that gets 18mpg city and 23mpg highway. Hard pass.
Just curious, what kind of gas mileage should a 45K truck be getting? And then the second question is, what is in the market for the 45K you would choose instead?
I mean it's not too bad I don't think anyway
Complaining about gas mileage in a truck. Ok.
You want good gas mileage, get a Prius
Get a Tesla or any other EV. You don’t get a truck for gas milage.
Looks worse
Nahhh
Please who wants a 2.7 engine it other junk engine reminds me old chevrolet vega 2.3 engine sound like. So sad 😔 GM put many classic middle screen back in 1986 into some Buicks, Oldsmobile and Cadillac they trouble with it more garbage again. GMC Canyon is worth $25,600 dollars and if more you paid too much 😅😅😅😅😅😅.
Soooooo keep with my ford because it has so much more as standard. Got it thanks.
Yea, especially those standard rear passenger vents
Redlining an engine with 10 miles on it and then wondering about the longevity of the engine - priceless. Break-in period? Nah, that's so passé; it's like 1985, dude. I feel bad for the guy who will end up buying this particular truck. I bet he will be fixing the engine before warranty runs out.
