2024 Ford Ranger Raptor vs 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X: General Motors Just Can't Keep Up

[@stevepatch1809]

Who’s the genius that thought white door handles were a good idea

[@slidewide1999]

Seriously! Worst color ever for a truck meant to be used in the dirt.

Funny, and he said both had "easy to clean interiors", not the Canyon with that white interior, buddy...

[@G-Rated]

@@slidewide1999 so by y’all logic, dark interiors are the only interior option that makes sense so *gm* should only offer a black interior. Lol. As if y’all wouldn’t be the same ones running to the comment section to claim how CHEAP *gm* is for the lack of colors/brighter and better contrasting interiors. 😂🤡

[@janewebb6355]

I have an AT4X. It just makes more sense for what I wanted. I was sick of the mom mobile/grocery getter SUVs and I live in the woods on a dirt road, the interior looks and feels so good.

[@nicholascarver7849]

Major difference is ford is asking 20k over msrp here in socal and gmc is slightly under msrp

[@chadbergman6083]

Ben, the color of both those trucks are fire, imo.

[@a88304]

If you’re into high speed Baja, go with the Raptor. If you’re into rock crawling, go with the Canyon

[@khronin]

High speed--Ford bragged about a stock raptor did a 500 mile baja stage and averaged 113 mph--it comes out and its governed to 107 which is pathetic literally a corolla or honda civic will catch this and pass it at around 3/4 of a mile--shame on ford

[@PandaMadness11B]

@@khroninlol idk see a Honda civic winning world famous Baja races like the Ranger raptor is

[@khronin]

@@PandaMadness11B My point is it should not be governed at 107 mph--thats pathetically slow when they show a stock one that averaged more then that--then it comes out and can only go that fast.

[@thomasmazzola4760]

GMC needs to get rid of that white interior. What a crazy color for an off-road vehicle. I’m surprised the ranger doesn’t have cold seats. The GMC needs to have a power rear window.

[@drewelliott9062]

I'd take the Ranger Raptor. Easy choice between these two.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

RR you get 2 more cylinders, another turbo, lane centering, and a power rear window AT4X you get a HUD, ventilated seats, sunroof, tailgate box, and a 110 AC in the backseat. Available underbody cameras. Can't go wrong either way but I would prefer the Horsepower myself

[@Max-kn9yi]

You don't need that much hp, it's the torque

[@Tony-hf9mv]

@Max-kn9yi first thing life is not solely about needs. Secondly they both have the same torque. Try passing vehicles on a two lane highway and tell me which one allows you to do it more efficiently and safer. I have and the RR allows for short passing zones. The AT4X doesn't

[@reignfire85]

I like the Canyon more than the Raptor, but that grill is so busy in comparison to the Raptor's. Canyon's interior has a retro look to it the way the colors are laid out, the screen isn't at risk of making you look too far downward and too far from the road.

[@kessrock]

Yeah you better add at minimum $7-10K markup for the raptor most dealers are greedy unfortunately 😢

I got mine for MSRP plus an additional -$1000 email rebate from Ford so technically 1k below MSRP :)

GM looks like they're finally making decent looking interiors. I don't mind the Canyon interior. As least it looks like it was designed within the last decade unlike the larger GM trucks which are stuck in the 90's. The Rangers interior is very nice.

[@BearMacTX]

The Ranger has a real front bumper. The GM product has a bunch of plastic bumper covers. I prefer real bumpers that can be changed for aftermarket options without having to cut up a bunch of painted plastic.

In 2 years when you want to trade them, i feel the Raptor will hold its value much better... at least I hope.

[@G-Rated]

Yea sounds like wishful thinking…GMC has always had better resale value than Ford. “Raptor” name rings bells on the showroom floor at Ford dealerships, ‘AT4’ & ‘DENALI’ rings bells at every bank in America. 🇺🇸

[@A-RSpeed]

@G-Rated Just for fun, go to KBB and put in a 2022 1500 Denali with 10k miles and then a 2022 f150 Raptor with 10k miles. Both were low 70's (base) and see which has depreciated more. The Denali books for $49k trade and the Raptor books for $68k trade.

[@joshup]

​@@A-RSpeed not the same vehicles. GM puts more quality into their mid size trucks than Ford does. The 1500 raptor and the gmc 1500 should never be compared with each other they dont even have comparable prices.

[@gravitygabri3l]

Test drove my Ranger Raptor last week but still haven't bought it cause I was curious to see if its worth the extra 10k over the ZR2. I test drove a ZR2 yesterday and let me tell you that it doesn't compare to the Ranger Raptor. The steering wheel was too light, had cheap creaky plastic everywhere, and that dreadful 4 cylinder turbo engine was such a pain to listen to. You also had to really mash on the pedal to get the truck going. The seats were so uncomfortable on the ZR2 and the leather was thinner than the Raptors. Transmission shifting on the gen 2 8-speed ZR2 was clunky compared to the super smooth 10 speed in the Raptor. The Bangen and Olfsen sound system on the Raptor was 100% more crisp and the bass really bumped compared to the ZR2's Bose system. TBH ZR2 felt like a base model Colorado but lifted with big wheels. I was not impressed so I'll be purchasing the Ranger Raptor that was built for me. I did own a 2018 Colorado LT V6 lifted on 33s and that truck was extremely reliable and Id purchase a V6 pre 2023 ZR2 over the new 4 cylinder turbo platform. The only good thing that I have to say about the new gen ZR2s is that the infotainment system was easier to use and resolution quality was better than the Raptors. By the way whoever built my Raptor didn't know how to align the graphics package decals. There was bubbles everywhere!

[@casper24ism]

Your smarter than I.i bought the zr2 bison.omg what a cheap light truck.it lasted 300 miles now have a ranger raptor it's amazing in every catigory.

[@TREVORJB101]

I like the color and exterior style of the Canyon over Ranger. I prefer the seating and more sporty elements of Ranger, but prefer the screen layout of the Canyon. The exhaust note of the Ranger sounds SO much better than the Canyon, lol. Both trucks are equally as capable, other than horsepower.. but when going off-road, HP doesn't mean squat, especially when they have the same amount of torque. If I had to choose, I'd probably take the Canyon AT4X. I would still prefer a Colorado Bison over either one of these trucks.

[@ericbeech2652]

It's crazy that the subaru crosstrek wilderness has 9.3 inches of ground clearance stock with 225/60R17. 9.7 inches if you put 225/65r17.11.7 if you install a 2 inch lift.

[@hellodrjeckyl]

I think I'd save some cashish and get the Colorado Trail Boss for around $40K. A base Raptor would be a good if you can get one with out dealer mark up.

[@Raven00714]

Both trucks look great but I like the Raptor because of the watts linkage

[@robertopics]

The Watts linkage and the 95hp difference to me are the only clear advantages that the ranger has, but I'm wondering if that's enough to warrant the 10k difference.

[@Raven00714]

I think the better question would be which truck holds it's value better over time

[@kalijo1]

@@robertopics $10k difference? Anyway don't forget that the RR has a much better transmission, more capable modes that allow for quick customization and the suspension is also better.

[@robertopics]

@@kalijo1 I had a 2020 ranger and I had a couple of friends that had the ranger and while when the 10 speed works it's almost perfect, but the 1080r and 1060r aren't that reliable. My ranger and two friends that had rangers had problems with the transmission and Ford in my case took over 4 months to fix the problem. I decided to lemon law the thing and so did one of my friends.

@@robertopics Not hearing any issues with the Bronco Raptor or the Explorer ST, both newer vehicles. I'm not concerned about the transmission and it shifts way better than the Colorado.

They’re both nice trucks in the segment. I’d personally go with the Ranger, then a Chevy ZR2 as my 2nd choice, & GMC AT4X in 3rd. Not a fan of the new Tacoma whatsoever; would resort to going full-size like Ram before looking at a Toyota.

[@fahadm8260]

Im wondering if you feel a difference between the leaf springs on the Canyon and the Coil overs on the Ranger ? Specially in terms of ride comfort

[@davidroberts3152]

Nice video. The Raptor costs about $10k more than MSRP. At least in Southern California.

[@Stanley112803]

GM should have used the 10 speed auto.

[@OGmarktorres]

If I remember correctly from a previous video I’ve seen, the 8 speed was better at handling the abuse that the engine was putting out. Curious to drive both of these in person specifically the ranger raptor. My work truck 10 speed f150 is absolutely terrible, sometimes I wonder if I’m going to see it in my rear view mirror or throw me into the steering wheel in parking lots.

[@timricks1149]

The Canyon looks higher off the ground and more off road worthy. They both have the same ground clearance but the GMC looks higher, it may be the running boards on the Ranger if it were mine I may have to remove those. They both have good engines but the Ranger clearly has the edge with its 405 horsepower and v6 engine. Overall though I think the GMC Canyon is a better looking and better capable off roader. They both have fancy shocks for desert high speed running but I think the GMC is the better Crawler which is how most people use their trucks while off roading. Both good trucks but besides the engine I think GM has Ford beat on this one

[@arkhsm]

The Raptor is quite a bit wider, that's why it looks lower. ALSO, both have front and rear lockers, so will crawl/climb over the same terrain. Raptor looks and goes the biz, 4 cylinders for a top end truck sucks !!

[@robertopics]

Isn't the canyon the same height as the Colorado which is .1" higher than the ranger.

[@timricks1149]

The Colorado ZR2 and Canyon AT4X are pretty much the same truck accept the GMC has some more fancy bits and nicer interior but the drive train, suspension and 4X4 system are the same. The new Ford Ranger Raptor is a great capable truck but both the GM trucks look better and are better woods crawlers

[@bostonaviation2010]

What do you mean GM cant keep up? After markup the Canyon will at least be 20k cheaper.

[@virgfresco1403]

Mark up for the Raptor Ranger because it's so in demand and unique truck, while Canyons are flooding at the dealership and only a few wants it. Besides, the Ranger Raptor can smoke the Canyon anytime of the Day!

Raptor has better payload and a v6. Not even close. The high output zr2 lost a drag race to the base ranger on the tfl channel 😂. Literally could not keep up. High output is a scam still the same 4 banger.

With similar options prices are nearly identical. But 5k in US dollars mark up on raptor from dealerships. It’s still sucks but not nearly 20k difference.

[@Fernando-t8g]

It's not the manufacturer's fault that dealers charge mark ups. If you don't like it then look for an msrp dealership. But people are too lazy to drive an extra 10 minutes to look for one.
