2023 GMC Canyon Elevation vs AT4 | Feature & Pricing Breakdown!

In this video I compare the 2023 GMC Canyon Elevation and the Canyon AT4 options, features, and pricing between the two trims. In this generation, GMC shuffled some of the equipment around along with added new or available equipment to lesser trims. The Elevation can be equipped somewhat close to the AT4 however there are a fair amount of options you must get an AT4 (or higher) to get. If you are looking for a somewhat affordable, lesser equipped truck the Elevation might be a better buy however if you want some nicer features and interior, the AT4 seems like a good choice.

I think a number of people would be interested in comparing between the Z71 and the AT4, how are they similar and how are they different.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Just need to edit it! 😄

I just love to thank you for this video. You saved me from making a big mistake. I originally ordered a elevation that was pretty loaded up. And after watching this video, I realized it was only a one speed transfer case. I don’t know how I never noticed that. I went back and canceled that order and changed it to AT4 with the premium package and the trailering package. For only $2700 more I’d say that’s a no-brainer.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Glad it was helpful! You are getting quite a bit more for that amount of money.

[@BlastedBilly]

I think I'm gonna get a 2024 Canyon AT4 in the desert sand color with just the trailering package. MSRP would be $45,905.00

[@jravila4609]

The build I had was AT4, Premium package, sunroof, bedliner, off-road tires, came out to about 49,205. I hate that the premium package or the standard AT4 doesn’t have bedliner standard, it shouldn’t be an add on

[@mkvgti07]

Absolutely, especially at the standard AT4 price point!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I understand why they make it optional on all trucks but sometimes it is included with certain off road packages. At the end of the day, I would rather pay for the OEM vs aftermarket.

[@gabrielduran8755]

Excellent breakdown! Thanks

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thank you!

[@mkvgti07]

Man, you’re awesome! Glad I stumbled across your video, I’m going to be a truck owner for the first time in my life. (Volkswagen loyalist) I just ordered an AT4 with safety plus along with the technology package, the spray on bed liner was an individual added option. I was never more confused ordering this vehicle. G Mgr & salesman didn’t know IMO the important things about the truck while I was ordering. There were must have items that I wanted, but they were clueless in how to obtain them. Thanks to you in comparison between the 2 trims it helped a bit. I actually spent more than I wanted to, yet feel that I’m not getting all that I wanted. Either way, you are much appreciated with your information! I’ve been watching this video over and over to understand what I have coming in lol. Happy either way, but just want to thank you for your knowledge.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Glad I could help! Which options or packages are you still confused about?

[@bull5512]

What is the complete sticker price on the at4 I have no clue if you say it in the video because Im 3 seconds in but just wanted to ask before the video

[@Canadawerule]

I started the process with an elevation but once i added the features i wanted it made it equal in payments to an AT4 with safety and pro grade trailering. So went with the AT4 now waiting for my confirmed build date

[@pagodad8079]

How much?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

That sounds like a great spec! I really do like the AT4 myself.

[@donaldhenderson3495]

Great video and thank you for doing the comparison. I like the AT4. Is GMC only doing the one engine are they offering the same choice of engine like the Colorado.

[@matth3wc]

GMC made the High Output option standard, so all trim levels will have the highest output engine.

[@donaldhenderson3495]

@@matth3wc thank you for the information.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

The AT4 looks very sharp!

[@sigshooter2348]

Great video! I'm currently considering the Canyon AT4, Colorado Z71 and Colorado ZR2, so definitely looking forward to your Canyon/Colorado comparison.

[@mgarver8149]

I'm in the same boat, mainly comparing the AT4 to the Z71, trying to determine if paying extra for the AT4's Lift and Wide stance is worth it. I think it is, but that is one of the main differences (hopefully he'll highlight other big differences), I think. The ZR2 looks so cool, but I don't want to lose the towing and payload.

[@sigshooter2348]

@@mgarver8149 You bring up a good point with the towing and payload. I got a little caught up in the idea when I did a configuration that put the ZR2 within 1K of a loaded AT4, but the real decision for me is still between the AT4 and the Z71.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Sorry I have been very busy over the last couple days. Just remember the AT4 starts out at the equivalent as a Z71 Convenience II (minus wireless charging). From there both trucks have an optional package with some nice additional equipment.

[@geezusmeatball1328]

I order a equiped elevation here in canada there is a significan price drop for elevation compared to a At4

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Nice. The Elevation is still going to be a great truck considering the lift and widebody. If you don't need the 2 speed transfer case, I would say its basically a nicer Trailboss.

[@geezusmeatball1328]

@@CarsMadeSimple i forgot to mention my seller but i think the elevation is same hight of the At4 ? And AT4X got a 1" lift higher that the elevation and At4 . ? With bigger tire too am i wrong ?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

@@geezusmeatball1328 Yes all the Canyon's should have the same 2" lift with 32"(ish) tires and the AT4XZR2 get a 3" lift with 33" tires.

[@josephbreen9955]

I think the entry level at4 is a much better option.

[@ROADBURN66]

No mention of the 2WD prices

[@CarsMadeSimple]

The 2WD is only available in Elevation. It starts at $38,395 including destination for 2023.

[@johnwhitneykokalis9990]

I went with the Elevation 2wd with convenience pkg, preferred pkg, trailer pkg, step side rail, sprayed bed liner. And was charged 500 for black paint. With GM employee discount and destination charge included the price was 39,407.13 that doesn't include tax title. License. MSRP for this truck for non GM employee is 42,765.00. I picked it up 6 weeks after ordering it at the Dealership which was on 5/2/23. Absolutely love this truck and sold my 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation just so I could replace it with the Canyon, no regrets, easier to park. Still tows the same load as the Sierra, better gas mileage and more comfortable to drive and the technology is much better.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

That's awesome! I am interested to see some of these lower trims such as the Elevation and the Colorado LT.

[@mortarman7353]

Any money saved by 1 or 2 mpg will get you in long run when engine starts failing after warranty...

[@MnzGmz]

Do you own 1?

[@ccc3350]

These trucks are way to expensive.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

They aren't too much higher than the equivalent 2022MY truck considering the additional options.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

Never or ever get a 4 cylinder myself. Just speaking for myself. Had 1 only 1 time and never again. To me don't care if these 4s get better gas millage. And don't care if they improved the power on them. Rather have the more powerful engine in the traditional 6 or 8 cylinders is the best. Not to mention if a person, he or she lives on a flat climate in America or ever have to go through the high steep hills or mountains outside of your area, probably be out of your state unexpected or on vacation you will be glad to have a 6 or 8 cylinder, to go through these steep hills and or mountains, without no problems.

[@fscottgray9784]

I have a 2022 GMC SIERRA with the 2.7 ho. It runs circles around my GMC with the 5.3 V8. The 2.7 never even has to down shift on any mountain pass I have encountered and I live in the west.

[@Jack908r]

This is whats wrong with gm. No composite bed, or standard bed liner. Tailgate hatch is an option when it should be standard. No power rear window slider. And the list goes on. GM are the worst at trying to get you to move up on packages for more money. Nice truck, but by the time you get what you want on the truck its pricey.

[@pagodad8079]

Too expensive

[@bshaw1979]
