Sat in it at the New York International Auto Show. For a big truck it feels cramped and that A-pillar creates a massive blind spot. I like the way it looks, though.
There’s a couple people who’ve took the new Chevy 2500 L8T engine into the canyon. Very easy to do and that’s what I’m currently doing to my canyon. But it’s only worth it if you’ve got the money
GMC issued a recall on most canyons. Currently most headlights flicker on and off (including mine). Hope they get it fixed in 3 months when they finally start replacing the headlights
These seem bigger than the full size trucks of the 90s. I was just admiring a mid 90s Dakota with a V8 the other day, missing the simpler times. I'm getting old apparently....
Seem, but outside of height, they are not. Compared to a 2001 F-150 SuperCrew, it's narrower and shorter. Without the lift kit and tires, it's smaller than the Y2K F-150.
@@atg1338 General Motors is one of the largest automakers in the world. I understand getting that fuel economy after taking your vehicle to some shop and getting aftermarket mods thrown on.

2012 Chevy Colorado, 3.5l i5, 242hp vs 310hp, 20 mph vs 16 mpg, 0-60 8.3 vs 8.5, 1/4 mile 16.7 vs 16.5, towing 5000lbs vs 6000lbs, price $28,500 vs $65,000. The Colorado/Canyon used to be a midsized truck with a midsized price tag.
On the inside, they're mid-size. Really, barely mid-size. That's purely due to EPA classification. On the inside, they're about as large as full-size trucks from not long ago. And that's purely due to CAFE regulation. Honestly, cars and trucks would be more sensibly sized, but nonsense standards dictate just how big or small they can be.
Wish it had a V6.. I'll stick with my Frontier. It has a much more reliable engine and actually gets 23 mi a gallon on the highway even with a slight lift compared to the 14 miles per gallon out of this thing. 🤣🤣
@@atg1338 what's wrong with that when they're selling like crazy right now and they're actually reliable compared to this turbocharged for cylinder which I've already seen has had numerous reliability issues??? Before you criticize the frontier maybe you should do some more research next time because it's actually "reliable".
GM made a massive mistake not offering this in a V6. The styling is sexy as heck, but for the price they're asking, I'm not buying without a more capable engine. Very stupid.
Cafe needs to go. We are not running out of oil and even if we were wouldn’t that speed are adaptation to electric cars which is the government’s goal in the first place.
Two things: * Should GMC consider reviving the Syclone name for performance-oriented versions of the Canyon, Sierra, Hummer, Yukon, Acadia, and Terrain that would hunt down Ford’s Raptor lineup? * Will there be SUV versions of the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon aimed straight for the Ford Everest and Toyota 4Runner?
My 2015 Toyota Tacoma with the 4.0 V6 does 0-60 in about the same time, I get 18-20 MPG real world combined, for much less of a price. And I don't envision a GM turbo 4 cylinder engine lasting as long as the Toyota engines do.
If the canyon still had the diesel engine. Might be worth it. That 4 cylinder has to be screaming to get things moving. My diesel gladiator on 37s from AEV gets 24 mpg
What a point here GM tries to make , 4 bangers engine all about higher gas mileage but here packaging high compression high inject fuel to yield high output ... the only thing worse is more problems on the ownership.. prefer big engine low compression, same output that makes it last.... well, customer's demands
Channeling overland adventurers used to be cool. Now it is construction workers? The fact that the average person doesn't need a pickup is conveniently avoided.
Id rather have an S10 or compact ranger... These and the new ranger are Dakota sized but Courier size feeling inside. I wonder why they make newer cars feel so cramped? 14 mpg! my 04 F150 gets 13.3 around town. $66k - not worth it at all. Esp being a GMC with that turbo.
Man beautiful truck indeed! But i get better gas mileage on my jeep wrangler than that 4 cylinder!!😮 I average from 18-19 to 20 mpg depending on how I drive!! That’s unacceptable for a 4 cylinder! Yikes 😳
Hey, what's that wheel sitting on the floor? Oh, we forgot to find a spot for the spare, ah just put it behind the driver so they can't see anything. Yup, looks good.
Too big,way too expensive, and what's with the rush to 4 cylinder turbos, I don't understand it because if you heard one of these run, the engine is screaming, not like the V6 used to be. That's because they want to make everything else slower than an EV, once again the government cramming stuff down our throat.
Waaaay overpriced, and it's a bit tight inside. With the driver's seat back far enough to get comfortable, there is no room in the back seat for anyone except infants in a car seat. And what's up with the spare tire mounted in such a way as to obstruct rear view vision? And $65K? The 2025 Ranger is looking better every day.
Lousy truck, really another produ t of an industry which has junped the shark. Good review however! I appreciate the standard testing metrics and format which is followed here in this episode.
Cool looking truck but I miss those small little pickups from the '90s they were just perfect
Yep, they were great
Everyone liked the small ones. Change wasn't at request, it was by force.
I just sold my 87 nissan D21.

14 mpg off a 4cyl? LOL
Those tires aren't helping, but I agree, it's a joke.
I’ve got the 2023 at4 canyon and I get a combined 24MPG. It’s hard to believe they’ve killed the fuel economy that much.

@dirtystockcardriver The 90's Dakotas (before going angular) with a fuel injected 318 are the shit. Great truck.

It looks way better than the new Tacoma
I agree on that part!😎👍but the gas mileage is horrible!
Heavy 35” tires will do that…
But can it compete?
Tacoma is faster 0-60
310 hp and 430 ft lbs of torque........ At what RPM? All reviews of these turbo 4-bangers conveniently omit this vital info.
310 hp @ 5,600 rpm, 430 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm.
And I agree, it should be included in every review.
Great styling but a 4 banger & modern GM reliability make it a hard “no”.
Agreed. They are forbidden fruit
14 MPG. WOW!!!
You do understand it has a lift and 35in tires🤔

Thanks for road test and driving review
Is no one going to mention its 0 to 60 is slower than the last generation by a lot!
The 2.7 dose a good job but for more expensive versions a 5.3 option would be welcomed.
Can we stop calling these mid size please? They are huge, don’t fit in many garages either.
Calm down, It's the EPA classification 😂
Garages need to be made larger.
@@6ec6YRFPTcCI’m pretty calm, I appreciate the concern.

you must have a small garage
This needs a 400+ horsepower engine asap to make it a contender.
all i have to say is, this is very TUFF. but the EPA ratings were 16 across the board, so that's a tie.
Another beautiful truck I cannot afford.

With that kind of fuel efficiency, they might as well stuff in an LS-based V8 engine. 😅
modern car manufacturers have fallen in love with small turbo type motors ..at 65k this needs a small block or a v-6 engine ...

So it’s $65K, with 14 MPG. Just get it!
Nice truck but over $65,000?!?! No way.

more weight less cylinders
14mpg? 4cylinder, mid-size, $65k, WTF? I do like the way it looks though.
I live out in the country and can't justify paying that for a small truck

These mid-sized trucks are the same size as my 2010 Dodge Ram.
