430 pound feet or torque is something to be proud of

[@thewireman134]

One of the if not the best gas towing engine I have ever had. V8s really don't come close. People say it drives like a diesel, but IT REALLY DOES. Have to tow with it to experience it. 23 Denali here.

[@bgsblazer]

So that’s because the Turbomax was built just like a diesel it’s just gasoline not diesel, more torquey in the low end just like a diesel would be

[@fastdude2002]

Only 6000 lbs towing ability which is too low. Wouldn’t pull my travel trailer unfortunately as I like this truck. I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner V8 that is rated at 7000 lbs of towing.

[@draecath5953]

@@fastdude2002 The towing is only 6000 pounds for the at4x or zr2. Its 7700 pounds for most trims. Though as with all tow vehicles it isn't a good idea to max out towing.

[@Mjr1348]

I just bought a regular gmc canyon AT4x and love it. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@hitman6191]

Just Bought a Desert Sand AT4 Tonight can't wait to off road, and tow. Thank You for the video

[@RVshare]

Thanks for the shout-out! Looks like a fun trip!

[@andrewjackson1815]

Great video, can’t wait to take my ZR2 somewhere like that one day!

[@crank1422]

That’s the only problem I have with it being a 4cyl turbo. Turbos are great for power, but just like the eco boost in the Ford, they struggle with fuel mileage when being worked, and that seems to surprise a lot of people. I’m still towing a Mastercraft Prostar 205V with a 2003 GMC with a 5.3, and I’m getting almost 12mpg at interstate speeds when towing with a 4 speed transmission. I’d love to see the modern 5.3 and 8-speed transmission introduced as an option for this truck.

[@oscarposada6144]

The uphill loss of power happened to another tester in a zr2. I guess gm hasn't addressed that issue with its 4x4 system.

[@is6566]

It does it on purpose when the computer thinks something will break. Unlocks the locker and drops out of 4Lo. It should not happen but it did when Driving Sports TV tested the ZR2. I can see how this could be a life threatening problem in a tricky situation. However, the truck is completely drivable afterwards. I guess get a winch and use it on extreme slopes.

[@cobyjones9519]

It’s my understanding that terrain mode is meant to be a single pedal drive and the system freaks out when you 2 pedal. Also turn off lockers when not needed

[@tommyrich4156]

Mines in the shop for rear end at 3800 miles with no ETA on parts or fix! Been at the dealership for 2 months so far! Pissed off would be an understatement

[@DailyMotor]

Ooof :/ sorry to hear that

[@joshuaduteil3210]

Hey man I’m a tec from a Chevrolet dealership and I am actually one of the ones that found the issues with the rear end, they made a bulletin for what I found and it’s in our emerging issues corses! It’s the outer axle bearings wearing wrong that should fix the issue. By chance does it sound like a mild humming noise seeming to come from the driver footwell? If so maybe give the dealership a call and let them know to check the outer shafts in the rear for “ring” marks. Hope that helps!

[@tommyrich4156]

No it wasn't that ...they already replaced axles! Now ring and pinion.

[@joshuaduteil3210]

That’s wild man I’m sorry to hear that I hope they can get you back on the road soon

[@tommyrich4156]

Got it back Friday! Whole new rear end because there's some special tool they can't get. Cured the problem. Time will tell...

[@geezusmeatball1328]

Love this truck

[@MegaRetr]

Whats crakin? Awesome video)

[@raesmart3305]

It’s amazing trucks got lighter over the years but the MPG stayed the same. You would think by now you could get 30 mpg pulling a trailer

[@Tacosauce81]

I do believe the truck shut the lockers off as a safety feature, so you don't snap a axle or blow a diff.

[@RobustArid379]

This video is excellent

[@619SoCaL]

My 2nd GMC Lemon Thank God For the Lemon Law!!!

[@krasnaludek298]

Badass truck, but expect the Toyota fanboys & Nissan goofballs to spam w/ their negativity. They love to bash American 🇺🇸 products with their outdated & baseless opinions.

[@theeconomist100]

theres nothing worse than toyota fanboi

[@AkioWasRight]

@@theeconomist100 Try a Tesla fanboi.

[@stlswagger]

I don't know if I need that out of a turbo 4. I'm just waiting for carbon buildup

[@Beltramstein]

Where is it? AMazing

[@AkioWasRight]

RIP, Tedward.

[@ginotremblay739]

Nice truck! But the engine noise is not as smooth as the V6. Seems anoying but anyway great torque and power.

[@66racer]

Really wish they didnt use white in an off road focused vehicle. I can see the orange utah sand/dust being a pain here. Love the interior and exterior design though.

[@brad_neal]

I totally agree about the interior color. White in an off-road vehicle - really? I have a '23 Canyon Denali with tan accent colors. Still would not have been my first choice, but... I didn't have a choice. It only comes in one color.

[@66racer]

@@brad_neal yeah, it is a major oversight. This generation of mid-size, I think the GM trucks may be my favorite overall.

[@chrismarbrey9678]

I really like this truck, but there is a lot of competition for this truck. The Ranger Raptor is very nice as well. The new Toyota TRD PRO is nice but overpriced, same for the Trail Hunter . The ZR2 is priced below the AT4 X, but obviously not as nice but just as capable. So, lots of choices and lots of research . In. conclusion researching the competition may help in negotiations.

[@lgbnz]

ZR2 is best bang for the buck among the group

[@jesusnavarrete6317]

Did the Stop sale order reach the Canyon ?

[@KrazyKajun602]

That's a big camper with only single axle.

[@DailyMotor]

Right? Gotta be getting close to that axle raiting.

[@blakesmith5198]

That horrible 80’s color-scheme interior feels like you’re on a road trip with Lee Majors. C’mon GMC, just give us an all-black option.

[@romeshprakashpalan8895]

Between the extra price compared to the ZR2 and the White Color Scheme, I chose the ZR2, but I really love the exterior of the AT4X. I do like the more subtle and less "outlandish" interior of the ZR2 though. The White seems bad for an offroader too.

[@nth842]

Sucks that you can't get the at4 interior in the at4x​@@romeshprakashpalan8895

[@lgbnz]

oof, painful to see you not know what you're doing with the camera views and offroad modes
