2024 GMC Canyon Review

Shop for a new GMC Canyon on CarGurus: cargur.us/13vY95
The GMC Canyon AT4X AEV, redesigned for 2023, stands out as a robust off-road midsize truck, positioning itself against competitors like the Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, and Toyota Tacoma. Despite sharing components with the Chevy Colorado, the Canyon is distinctively taller and broader, featuring an ultra-wide track and substantial ground clearance. Standard Canyon models have a minimum of 9.7 inches of clearance, while the AT4X version increases this to 10.7 inches. In contrast, the base Colorado model only offers 7.6 inches. The AT4X AEV package further enhances off-road capabilities with 12.2 inches of ground clearance, 35-inch tires on 17-inch wheels, AEV-stamped bumpers, and multiple steel skid plates. It also includes a spare tire mounted in the bed, emphasizing its readiness for extreme off-roading.

[@ScottWaliszewski-ud2mz]

$68,000 plus taxes and fees ending up at $78,000 out the door!! Is Fucking Insane!!!!!

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Should probably put the “AT4X AEV” in the title. Just sayin

[@a2r7n6]

Wow, that AT4X AEV looks stud. The Canyon is the best looking mid-size truck. ⭐

[@Isaac-cl8io]

Horrible idea for the white interior. Especially on an off-roading built truck, can’t imagine how quick the interior would get dirty.

[@jaceblack7842]

I own this truck and handles nicely on road and off road. 40 mile Six hours off-road trail yesterday in Moab and highway drive from California to Phoenix to Moab with 17.1 mpg for trip so far including trails. I really like the AEV package for off-road.

[@thomasjewell503]

No way in hell i would ever purchase a vehicle thats a 1/4 the price of my house

[@telliesmith9825]

This truck is 🔥 inside and out

[@jesusnavarrete6317]

I thought they seized production? Software. Electrical issues ?

[@rustlesee]

Snow in mid May? Where are they?

[@cargurus]

This was shot just north of Boston in April when we did have a late snow!

[@brooktroutangler5917]

AT 4X AEV is 83K........$1,650 per month for 60 months with $0 down at 7%.......

[@glenarseneau1231]

Very nice looking truck but the back seating is just way too small for passengers and I think most people are buying that for looks and less for off roading

[@user-ii2mv6tj1z]

Have they resumed sales yet? Resolved the electrical and software issues?

[@jrksoldierx1436]

What's an air Jordan?

[@plutonium9]

A Nike shoe that often used similar colors.

[@GT-43]

It's like an aev rolling billboard

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

Dude don't downplay the Colorado ZR2, this is literally just the GMC flavor of the Colorado ZR2

[@deank2002]

Only problem I have with the colorado is that gm decided to put the super cheesy camo pattern in the dash. My mind nor my wife were able to get past it, and will get a canyon as a result.

[@Skraals]

​@@deank2002yeah, still not double the price for an exact replica of the same truck with just a different facia and diff colored interior 😂.

[@Richard-yr5zj]

Isn’t the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison pretty much the same truck, but thousands of dollars less?

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

Yes, this is just the high end version like how GMC is just a fancy Chevy. You get options standard and a little more upscale interior

[@eduardolagunas9788]

It technically is but note that the multimatic bump stops are not standard on the Canyon; it's an add-on. This is really the only turnoff for me.

[@par__m3]

I agree the interior is a little ridiculous. Too bad they didn't offer a variation of the Denali interior for this. Also, why doesn't the Denali get a leather wrapped dash and upper door trim? Feels very un-Denali without that.

[@kpgarrity]

In the 1970's we use to call it "a holeshot" - done mostly with muscle cars (of course). Feet on both gas and brake, get the rear wheels spinning - then let go of the brake! In this age of corporate liability concerns, I am shocked GMC would condone/encourage such unsafe driver behavior.

[@dnice362]

That is as much as an f150 tremor with an actual usable back seat for the family, GMC is crazy for this price

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

Except this is better than the tremor off-road and better than the Ranger Raptor off-road when it comes to general purpose offroading. The only thing the Ranger Raptor is better at is high speed dune bashing. When it gets slow and technical or sloppy and slippery, this shines better.

[@eddyjroth]

@@saltyfloridaman7163 facts, this is an entirely different level of equipped for offroad vs a tremor or even a raptor IMO

[@Darqueprophet]

I love this truck, but the white in the interior is my biggest hesitation.

[@user-ez8bq9jf6b]

And the fact you can't afford one 😏

[@bobbysmith9411]

Back seat “extremely tight”? I’m 5”11 without any issues sitting behind myself! Guess you like to have ur legs stretched all the way out to were you can barely touch the peddles lol

[@thomasbordi8726]

Yes they did fix all.... I got mine 4 months ago.they were still making them then mother nature hit then with a hail storm....what LUCK 😢😢 NOW THEY'RE PUTTING THEM UNDERNEATH HUGE TENTS ... LIKE THE ONE THE HAVE A CIRCUS IN BUT 20 OF THEM. 😊

[@llamawizard]

Don’t be dumb. Center shifters are a waste is space. Bring back the steering column shifter

[@BookofJob3XVII]

This truck costs +/- $60k

[@mccurjm]

Yep. It's really capable. Yep. that white interior is terrible for an offroad truck. That interior is one of the main reasons that I went for a 2024 Canyon AT4 instead of an AT4X.

[@wolverinesoldier6355]

These new ones are way to expensive. And 4 cylinders suck. I have the 2022 GMC Canyon in the 6 cylinder in fwd. If I had to buy a new mid size truck now, think I will only go with the Honda Ridgeline, just the fact it's a 6 cylinder for about the same amount of the money !

[@mwinner101]

The white on the interior will get dirty fast especially on the door handles. Bad idea.

[@ChristianGuillen-ug9ez]

That's why you clean it

[@mode1charlie170]

Nice truck but too expensive.

[@Skraals]

Its beutiful, but not worth the price being so much more (substancially) in price then twin colorado. Why isnt the denally with the white interior? No one uses a denali to work, but yet they put a white interior for a off roading truck.....like logic ---> window 😅😅😅. Its only diff from the same top trim colorado are the colors and facia of the truck, what a fkn gimmick that it actually irritstes me! Even mazda was smart enough to add letsher on the door near the window and ontop of the dash, useless but it has it, yet gmc charges you so much more then the chevy and doesnt even add leather! Hahaha 😂

[@xiaxiong9197]

Full size trucks get way better gas mileage!

[@mikeeihusen5194]

These seats for someone like me that's always outdoors... White.. HELL NO

[@EricK-ch9pb]

FYI, you did not engage launch control....

[@ivaniuk123]

The white inside was a poor choice...

[@TacoRob72]

Great looking truck! But in the end it’s still a gmc and to much to boot

[@alkalined330]

Shut up Nerd, this truck looks sick.

[@user-ez8bq9jf6b]

Looks like a full size kids toy, GOOD LUCK finding kids that make enough money to buy this hideous vehicle... Very disappointed in GMC R Cooper
