According to the GMC website, the 2.5 has a max towing capacity of 3500 pounds, the 3.5 7000 and the 2.8 diesel, 7700.
I've driven the 2015 Model with the 6 speed AT. It's a beauty. Power is nice and smooth. steering feels great, everything about this truck is just awesome!
Beautiful truck. You did a good job on your review. Very informative. Been looking at these videos all day on numerous models and features. This is the best video review I’ve seen so far.
3500 lb tow capacity is for the 4 cylinder.
Excellent review. Love that color, which is the same as the Kinetic Blue on the Colorado for 2018. I wish I was a bit further out in my three year lease (15 months out of a 36 month lease) on a 2016 Hyper Blue Crosstrek Limited with Eyesight and Navigation, which I outgrew (2nd Crosstrek, but need more space for hauling and the utility trailer is sometimes a PITA). I would love to fleet order a 2018 Colorado with an extended cab/long bed WT 4x4 configuration with the duramax diesel engine (that configuration is only available through special fleet order), in Kinetic Blue, trailering package, WT Convenience Package, WT Appearance Package (adjustable spotter mirrors), fog lamps (heavy early morning mountain fogs), spray-in bedliner, underbody shield (deep ice/snow in winter), fender flares, and 7" MyLink system, and cargo area lights. MSRP ~$37K.
Gm and Ford co-developed a 10-speed transmission. The Tacoma interior is small compared to the Canyon/Colorado.
I had a 2005 gmc canyon offroad model which I totaled. I just bought the 2018 gmc canyon 6 cylinder and aside from the obvious upgrades in the engine and power, the biggest thing for me is the difference in turn radius. The 2005 turned like a bus. The 2018 turns like a corolla.
"The Toyota Tacoma is roomier for the rear seat occupants"
Are you high man? Or have you not actually sat in a Tacoma? I'm 6'0" and can comfortably sit behind myself in the Colorado... I can't even FIT in the tacoma
Brian Lane couldnt agree with you more. Im 6'2" and fit behind myself in the colorado but when i recently took a road trip in the tacoma i couldnt sit behind myself. In fact, i couldnt sit behind the main driver who is 5'10". 8 hours in that tacoma wasnt very fun
Brian Lane agree the canyon is like sitting in a luxury car
Are we talking about the crew cab? I just bought an extended cab and barely fit in the back with the seat all the way forward (6’2”) lol
Yes, and uncomfortable as hell
We were about to sign for a Tacoma and then tried to fit both car seats in the back seat and it was too tight.
Ended up with a Canyon because of the bigger back seat.
With the V6, the Maximum Towing Capacity - 7000 lb
Can you please make a video on the new 2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport?
I thought the transmission developed with Ford was a 10 speed? Towing for V6 is 7000?
Which canyon model comes with the charging dock on the center console?
And the 2.8l Duramax does consistently better than 30mpg hwy. I have no problem holding 34-35mpg on 33 inch AT tires.
Great video!
مانزلوا منه الجمس الربع باب واحد ؟!! 💔
purchased 2018 canyon great truck and great blue colors lots comments lots about the blue
color too.
Do you still have your Canyon? I just bought a 2018 Canyon SLT V6. Curious what your experience has been. Thanks 😊
@@ang3r3dv3t still driving the truck. The truck handles great on open highway. Great on gas mileage, big gas tank.
Live in small town so sometimes do no get a lot km on it. So needs to be service once a year. I like the blue Color too.
How does it compare to the 2020 canyon v6
Great color. Wish it had the brown and tan interior.
You need to get your tow ratings right. The V6 is 7,000lbs. The 4 cylinder is 3,500lbs. The diesel is 7,700lbs.
glad you mentioned this lol I was just sitting here thinking about nothing else after I heard 3500 for the v6
well you could always do a video yourself and show how to do it right
no one perfect and thing do not always go as written some catch it some do not at least this person is trying
then again there are those who always bitch and complain so this was most likely done for you
Mine is the same vehicle but it has no leather seats and a lot other cabin options
So if I take out that black air dam, how much mileage am I losing? Maybe 1 mpg? That damn dam ruins the entire look of the front end.
2017 was a really short model year for these trucks
Check your tow numbers
Nice review as always. An upper trim level Colorado or Canyon is on my short list to replace my current truck. However, if you compare the features of a Canyon Denali or SLT with a 2020 Tacoma Limited, 2019 Ford Lariat or 2019 Ridgeline RTL-e, you immediately see how far behind the technology curve the GM twins have fallen in a short amount of time. The GM twins have the AutoTrac transfer case which is a huge plus but the Toyota, Ford and Honda all have a full suite of active safety features, smart key entry, push button start, LED headlights, auto high beam headlights, etc, etc, etc. If GM wants to charge the same price as the competitors, they need to equip their trucks at the same level.
I swore I'd never buy a GMC after having a Chev malibu. Plus GMC's advertising is the absolute worst . But I looked at a Canyon the other day and...shit ....it was very nice.
I've owned a 2018 since new and I love it. it's a fast Mini Sierra. How the reviewer describes the transmission is accurate. I was able to get my dealership to upgrade me to the premium ATF which solves a lot of the weird shifting issues. Other than that I couldn't find another midsize that was as responsive and had as nice an interior.
@@burningdust I ended up getting an '18 All Terrain after a chic totaled my ford Explorer Sport Trac. It had 26 K miles and It's the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. I had some shifting issues but Dealer changed out the Fluid to Synthetic and no issues since. 4WD was awesome during the recent record snowfall .
When starting thus truck with remote start, you are suppose to let it idle down before shutting it off. Letting a engine to properly warm up before driving or turning it off is crucial to engine wear. Also, you don't need to tap or hit the buttons on the dash so hard. Lol
Okie Rider correction... engine warm up doesn't reduce engine wear, it's actually the opposite. engine warm up was needed with older engines before these fuel efficient engines began production.
you buying the truck? wonder what this post was before the edit? he didn't role the window down the way you like it?
Thanks
so where was the test drive...
How long has gmc canyon been around
Since 1969
If u were to buy a truck what would u recommend best truck for the money?
Colorado, the Tacoma is still a great truck but the new generation doesn't live up to the reliability reputation for what Toyota is known for as they suffer terribly from transmission problems, therefore I pick the Colorado for it's comfortable driving dynamics similar to the Canyon and slightly cheaper price and refined nature.
Camerons Car Reviews i want to buy gmc sierra or Silverado 2012 / 2013 new
Can I find that
I'm waiting to see what the new Ranger looks like. I've had Tacomas, and now I drive a 4Runner. I like Toyotas, but they don't really offer any luxury at all - no lane keeping assist, no blind spot warning, no adaptive cruise control, etc. I make several drives each year that are 1,000 miles or more, so these features would be great to have.
I like the Colorado, but the materials and interior sure don't look like they're worth almost 50 grand. I'm hoping to get a Ranger version of the Ford Raptor because I want a rugged truck that is capable off road, something that can keep up with traffic on the interstates and occasionally do some light-duty towing.
While I find the seating position is uncomfortable in the Tacoma, the real dealbreaker is the gear hunting transmission that is never in the right gear.
Ram 1500 Limited
Why does it look like a chevy inside?
POPJack1717 Because gmc and chevy are basically one in the same
they are the same,GM,remember the Coloraado and cayon,the same truck
I thought the V6 could tow more than 3500 lbs?
Adam Saalman this one probably didnt come with a tow package, leaving it at 3500lbs. The v6 with the tow package is 7000lbs and the diesel is 7700lb 2wd and 7600lb 4wd
Adam Saalman the 4 cylinder tow capacity is 3,500lbs. Apparently he didn't research his tow ratings prior to making the video. You are correct on all the other ratings.
sounded like he says manual mode while in reverse lol
He did say that. He speaks too fast and unclear for a person who's explaining the features of a truck. It would be better if he could take his time and explain better and stopped poking every single button at the same time.
Tow ratings are all wrong and his reporting is very boring.
William Craig not here to entertain
Nice Truck but I wouldn't drive it
The Ford Ranger is going to put the Colorado/Canyon to shame for sure.
I hate to say it, working at a Chevy dealership and all, but I agree. The Colorado's interior, in particular, is pretty shameful. It gets beat out in the comfort department by even the Tacoma. The Canyon is only marginally better.
Not in the looks department for me anyways
Fix Or Repair Daily quality is non existence,it may look good,but no longer the truck,it used tyo be
Need push to start button instead of turning a key. Step into modern technology.
Another ugly piece of junk from Chevy!
WTF is with using a key? I refused to buy the 2017 model because it had a key, i thought id wait for the 2018 model, it still have a key??? WTF!!!
Well GM just lost my business, i will be buying a 2018 model but it won't be a GM, i am hoping Ford comes out with the Ranger for 2018, otherwise i will be moving to imported.
OMG, i can't believe GM is still using a key for 2018, WTF
You clearly have some issues. Chill the fuck out.
usmc1127 - If i am spending $30k+ i will buy what i want, its my money and if GM cannot provide it, i will stay with ford and get the F150. You need to take a pill
I've had times in cars with the push button starters that would not start the car, and realized that is because the key is in my pocket next to my iPhone, which is blocking the car from sensing the key.
I couldn't agree with you more on that fact. All that money and no push button start?! I just looked at 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with push button start. It works so much better because key fob stays in pocket to unlock door and start the vehicle.
Is it really that big of a deal? Sliding the key in and turning? Never thought it was that big a deal...
Ford Ranger kills this truck
