2023 GMC Canyon | Review & Road Test

[@johnwhitneykokalis9990]

I love my Canyon Elevation. Had it for a week and get 20.3 overall mpg. I got tired of driving a full size Sierra pick up truck, it is so huge its like driving a Bus to work everyday and the new Canyon pulls the same as the V8 while being more manageable on the road. Stops better and is much easier to park.

[@gabg5328]

Will be trading my 22' Sierra for a 23' Canyon ! Glad you like the difference

[@Miami788]

I’m trading my sierra 2022 in for the at4 trim can’t wait

[@gregtudanca.]

I'm a simple guy... I see a KBB video. I see a well reviewed video by Mike. hits the 👍

[@yesmikedanger]

And I appreciates ya, Greg 🤜🏾

[@josephkraft5640]

Great video. Everything on this truck seems to be “relative”.

[@yesmikedanger]

Thanks Joseph!

[@davidwolf226]

I, too, really like the new front facia on this Canyon. GMC has done a nice job with this update. A very nice review, Mike. 👍

[@yesmikedanger]

Thanks David!

[@BNGamesYT]

Happy to se Mike coming into his own

[@yesmikedanger]

Thanks, friend!

[@gerhardhillmann1]

This truck looks awesome!

[@DeadAir21]

As great as the new canyon and Colorado are, you know these aren’t going to be produced in the numbers that they should. You know GM would much rather you go to full size than mid size.

[@josephpanozzo4815]

Thank you for your thorough and informative review. It’s a nice pickup overall.

[@yesmikedanger]

Thanks for watching, Joseph!

[@streetmuscle2155]

Great video I love my gmc sierra with my 3.0 duramax idk why more manufacturers don't use small diesel engines I love getting 28mpg and still have good power in a full size truck would love to ask higher ups why not more small diesels in more vehicles

[@LongIslandMopars]

Thank the EPA.

[@TalismanPHX]

Emissions regulations

[@streetmuscle2155]

I'm confused??? Wouldn't more high mpg diesel engines help the epa and emissions?

[@LongIslandMopars]

@@streetmuscle2155 You're truck would get even higher mpg without emissions choking controls. The EPA doesn't recognize how efficient diesels are. I fully support diesel and did my thesis on biodiesel over 18 years ago. Unfortunately diesel is viewed as the enemy by the EPA and refuses to accept what is "clean enough" and still economically viable. Manufacturers have to go to such complicated methods to reach emission targets that it hurts efficiency as well as long term maintenance and reliability. Take care of your truck and enjoy it. It may be the last of its breed.

[@bill4632]

Nice but way too expensive

[@Novilicious]

Cute and modern little Truck 🛻 !

[@YocoWheelin]

Crazy how this considered “little” now. This was a full size truck 10 years ago.

[@damilolaakanni]

Modern, yes. Cute? Aggressive. Little? If you pick the longest bed available it might be longer than the Sierra.

[@Vet6970]

great review, love my new 2023 canyon at4 great truck great price. going to take mine soon for some two tracking and color tour here in Michigan. 👍

[@chiefman8316]

Great looking good review thanks, BUT will the 4bangerturbo go 200k miles without problems like a Ridgeline or Toyota ??

[@petermello55]

Time will really only tell, but this engine is the L3b, which comes with a forged crank, rods and hardened pistons. Take that for what it’s worth.

[@wawaw1980]

Okay, but where did u get that plaid shirt?

[@polarbear7577]

I'm confused are the 4 wheel drive models using AWD ?? when not in 4 WD or are they 2 wheel like and old school 4 WD?

[@davideg5947]

Looks great!

[@That-Silverado-Guy]

Great review but when driving.... when are you ever going to wear a helmet???...

[@samiaziz2665]

The gauge cluster have an option of a larger screen and a Dinali and the ATX

[@bajabret60]

Is it crazy to say I would consider trading my Tacoma TRD Off-Road for a GMC AT4? I am 4-wheeling fairly lightly now, and as much as I appreciate the Tacoma, I rented an older Canyon and was struck by how much nicer it was to drive

[@shizzydeep6867]

Love the look but not a fan of the relfectors on the fender flares or the 2.7 ltr engine. I can't see that engine lasting very long if you're towing with it.

[@HailCaesar-lm4bq]

Just go full size cause s V8 gets sone milage as that V6 and you get twice useable room. I had a zr2 and engine always straining to keep up highway speeds . Never got better than 15.8 mpg

[@ATLOffroad]

I live in the city and appreciate the smaller truck. The full size trucks are getting just too big.

[@HailCaesar-lm4bq]

@@ATLOffroad most of Asia agrees and ford and Chevy release new small trucks in Thailand first

[@morningdrums]

I think I like the canyon at4x for myself

[@RYk1234100]

Odd that the 4wd 2.7 4cyl tops out at 21mpg hwy. The Gladiator, with the aerodynamics of a brick and a V6, gets basically the same at 22mpg with the automatic (23 w/manual, funny enough). The ford ranger is an older platform and is rated about the same as well.

[@damilolaakanni]

The Ranger has been redesigned for 2024, but it will most likely get the same engine and transmission as the current one, at least in North America. So I don't expect fuel economy numbers to change.

[@galacticvol]

The Sierra 1500 gets the exact same engine and gets 19 city, 22 highway. How is the half ton getting better MPG than the midsize with the exact same engine??

[@Frame16Gaming]

@@galacticvol moving those off road tires and extra weight and drag from off road equipment and raised suspension. An actual task very few will ever do.

[@Jorts-W-Bush]

For what it's worth, owners are getting better mileage than advertised by EPA

[@bradbruggeman6745]

​@Jorts-W-Bush I hope! I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a AT4. Engine has plenty of power but that MPG is bleak for a 4cyl.

[@williamguillIII]

I like the looks of this truck. BUT, why would I buy a mid size truck with a 4 cylinder, when I could pay the same amount of money and buy a Ram Rebel with a Hemi, get the same or better gas mileage, haul more cargo, tow more, carry more passengers, etc. That's why I never considered these mid size trucks when I got my Rebel!

[@winchestermodel7044]

Because it’s a Ram.

[@williamguillIII]

@@winchestermodel7044 I switched to RAM after having 2 GMC 1500 SLT Crew Cab Z71's. Both had shitty transmissions which GM didn't have a fix for!

[@TalismanPHX]

Ranger Raptor please 🎉

[@markchavez2011]

Imagine if they dropped each of these trims by $3-$5k, they would still have a strong profit and would fly through them on the dealer lots. Sadly, they’re trying to compensate the lack of reliability by blinging/tech-big them out. I feel like they’d see great profits still by pushing out more units and then seeing more customers in the repair shops/oil changes over time ya know? Sad, but true.

[@mfbikle]

That’s almost $60k WTH destination and taxes!

[@forrest225]

Truck prices have absolutely skyrocketed. Better specs doesn’t feel like progress if the price shoots up too. Also 60k and you don’t even get the 10 speed? Why not buy a 6.2 1500 at that point?

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

It's nice but is it 50k nice? I just feel like a full sized truck is probably a better deal.. more value..

[@manahang1]

Price out a full size with similar equipment/tech pkgs and you are going to be well above the price of these trucks. Just a well equipped LT 1500 silverado with the same engine is going to be 8 to 10 thousand more than a z71 colorado.

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

@@manahang1 Bought a certified preowned 2020 F150 platinum 4x4 with every option under the sun and the 5.0 for 38k with 51k miles.. which was exactly what i wanted. Original sticker was 88k dollars..

[@manahang1]

@RustbeltRob classic Sounds awesome. Hope you enjoy it. That's exactly my point, though. You have to go used if you want the same features in a full size truck.

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

@@manahang1 I could have bought more base, honestly it's the wife on long trips that makes those calls.. otherwise a base model would have been fine.. I do florida to michigan trips often, as well as colorado to ny.. long rides, full sized trucks just have more space.. the new canyon and colorado were ok, i drove them, wasn't a power issue, it was just cramped and at 50k for a denali i couldn't justify the money, the new tundra was the same price for a platinum series with pretty much the same kit, though as reliable as the toyota is, i just prefer domestic when it comes to pickup trucks.. honestly time will tell on the reliability front for the new GM turbo motors, i still think dumping the v6 was a mistake, and turbo long term maintenance costs scare me, time will tell on that front, all said, i was surprised about the mpg in the 5.0, seems to be the same as the smaller trucks, which honestly is about the same, so you can't cross shop based on mpg. I get 22mpg at 80mph.. that's pretty good.. have heard that's better than not only the midsized but also most of the full sized turbo options. The one i do wish i waited to see is the new taco, but.. rumor has it the cab size is about the same..

[@bradbruggeman6745]

​@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 Wow. Alot of depreciation on a F150 .

[@wackit6756]

What a beautiful truck, but I may have to pass on a 4 cylinder. The midsize truck market was founded on having a V6.😕

[@KennyboyGM]

The 2006 Colorado had a 5 cylinder engine.

[@Jorts-W-Bush]

The original mini trucks had 4 bangers. The 2.7 has more torque than the previous generation V8s. The future is now

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

[@donaldluallen1152]

That's not off reading 😂

[@damilolaakanni]

Why go for a turbocharged 4 cylinder if it's going to be less fuel efficient than the V6? Typical GM making poor engineering decisions🤦‍♂️.

[@Icayn]

It’s due to emission requirements set by the government WE put in place. If it were left up to GM they’d be stuffing V8s in every thing 😂
