Thanks! At 5 minutes I’d had enough rambling so came to the comments and found yours. Just saved me 35 more minutes

[@docholliday6285]

Absolutely pleased, and impressed with my 2023 Colorado ZR2. This truck is solid, engine is FANTASTIC and a joy to drive. Price & mpg is what you pay for Rubicon level capability. Just one man's experience...and opinion.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience. It’s great to hear from owners.

[@billredding2000]

I have a Jeep Gladiator (Rubicon) myself, but the only other "top-dog, seriously off-road-focused 4x4" mid-size truck I'd consider is the new/improved Colorado ZR2. Were I looking for a full-size truck, I'd check out the Silverado ZR2. -- BR

[@Dusdaddy]

Completely agree with backseat utility....it sucks. Biggest rant I have. Let's face it, not many people are going to buy a mid-size to haul people. So, most owners will use the back seat for cargo. And GM failed miserably. Fold the seat up to maximize space and you have this giant floor fixture sticking up so nothing like a box (case of beer) can fit easily, or anything else. Absolutely worthless. Of course, some idiot will say "Use the bed dummy, it's a truck!" Not always available and not as secure or weather protected. Besides, why give me a backseat if its only use is for small passengers? Kids grow up you know....

[@GTGarageTalk]

Agreed.

[@RossMalagarie]

the tow package is an option. adaptive cruise control is an option

I loved my new 2023 Canyon but the door issue was something i noticed in the first few days. I often push myself up with my arm on the arm rest etc. I ended up trading back up a 1500 AT4. That truck is bigger, but it’s wonderful.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@vehiclenanny]

I started out disappointed for you, as I knew you liked this truck (on paper) prior to the test drive. It sounds like you were good with the mechanicals, but not the features and some materials. The dash squeaking is not unexpected. This has bugged me for years in many GM vehicles. Good for you to point out these annoyances. The perception of quality goes down with each misstep. P.S. Loved the confessional! That should become part of every review.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Loved this truck and was SO heartbroken to leave with this impression.

[@Стрелок-ш7с]

I plan on getting the at4x, I don't understand your complaints about the cheap interior...Its easily the nicest interior in the midsize truck segment.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Nicest looking. I agree. It was the build quality I struggled with.

[@Robert8455]

I think you did a good job on the review and being a straight shooter with those issues. It is a lot of money and there is NO REASON anyone should provide excuses for it and minimize expectations. If GM wants our money then we EXPECT a better job.

[@Dmenco]

The zR2, front underbody portion is metal. Why the GMC version isn’t? Engineering weight savings, no idea

[@wadeonwheels]

All your issues are because you didn’t select the correct packages for what you wanted. Mine has 360 cameras, adaptive cruise control, and a trailer hitch.

[@GTGarageTalk]

the issues of not having those things are more around its price as-tested as well as the trim not coming standard with things like skids if it is the off-road version.

[@tomtruss6312]

I totally agree… Those are options you can add

[@carlroth2405]

Nice review. Thanks. Little long but thorough. Thanks for pointing out some negatives. Those door handles would drive me bonkers.

Thanks for this video. No hitch receiver at that price point is a deal breaker. All your points are valid points, for 50k there are too many annoyances, I’ll wait for the Tacoma.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for watching.

[@mt186]

Why you would buy this truck without the pro trailering option is beyond me. Adaptive cruise control is available as well. I have this truck with both and they work great

[@GTGarageTalk]

@@mt186 Thanks for sharing.

[@YTsurferr]

They really don't make it clear on the build website that the truck will not come with a trailer hitch if you don't order the "Prograde Trailering System". I've never even really thought about whether a pickup truck will come standard with a hitch or not, its a reasonable assumption that it will. I will use the hitch; for a bike rack and an extend a bed. I'm not paying them $800 for a 2" receiver hitch. If I was towing enough to warrant that whole package, I would just get a full sized truck. @@mt186

[@kenhiett5266]

Yep, this definitely isn't for you, and the reasons you listed for buying it (fitting in driveway and driving around parking lots...not kidding) solidified that fact. We buy these for tooling around the northern mountains and navigating the southern sandstone in Utah. The shock system alone is a big win for GM, and the power they generate from these lighter 4 cylinder engines is excellent across the power ban. Where you go wrong is not realizing the vast majority will have similar priorities as you, while those of us who will actually take this off-road more often than rarely to occasionally, will wait for the legitimate after market parts to come out.

So you had a huge smile when you accelerated. You love the styling. You said it was "nearly perfect". It parks right. I don't know man-- I had a '21 and just bought a Denali '23 Canyon for the wife. Every complaint I heard could be summed up with "I should have got the Denali trim". On your tow hitch point I feel like you are forgetting human nature-- If they give access to a bumper ball, someone somewhere is gonna try and put the 7700lbs to the bumper, which would not end well. Putting an Express Up button to all 4 windows is asking for a lawsuit when someone's kids rolls up the window on his sister or the family dog. OK. I just got to the part about the doors. That would piss me off too- My doors don't do that- you should take it in.

[@GTGarageTalk]

We are hoping to test a Denali. Maybe that would change our minds here.

[@HermanBretz]

Sounds like your “Personal Build” left a lot to be desired! Can’t blame GMC for that!

[@scotthill9445]

I agree with you on the incandescent lights exterior and interior, however not everyone is going to off road this truck. If you are, you can option skid plates. Not everyone is going to tow. If you are, opt for the trailering package. You can't put all four windows back up due to safety regulations not an oversight by GMC. Btw the AT4 is moving to a full gauge cluster for 2024.

[@GTGarageTalk]

The window thing is incorrect. Other GM vehicles have express up/down. Otherwise, yes valid points. I, as someone who really wanted to buy this truck before, now have hesitations on how well it will physically hold up over the first year…

[@alltruckeredout]

[@GTGarageTalk]

I like it, but not for the price. There are build deficiencies and things I would expect to see on this at this price that aren’t here.

[@dannyluelee]

I was curious about the packaging of the AT4 trucks across the Canyon, Sierra 1500, and 2500. A Canyon AT4 comes in around $50k but a Sierra 1500 AT4 comes in around $70k and a Sierra 2500 comes in just over $70k. I’m not sure why they package the 1500 so close to the 2500. I would expect these trims to all hit around $10k over the smaller model. Also the only gas engine option for the 1500 is the 6.2 and it’s also priced above the duramax option. I think they should really consider putting the 5.3 in as an option.

[@curtshelp6170]

I'm in a leveled 2019 diesel Colorado 4x4 long bed LT on 32" tires and the spoiler removed and it still returns 27 mpg highway so the new Colorado can't compete. I'm considering a new truck but it would be either the Silverado trailboss 3.0 diesel or I'd go back to Jeep for the Gladiator with the 3.0 v6 diesel while they're still offering it. I wanted the Colorado trail boss but the terrible fuel economy that can be matched by the Silverado trailboss 5.3 v8 and those simple controls hidden within the problematic infotainment system are deal breakers. GM attempted to hail marry the competition but missed a tremendous opportunity to deliver a real hybrid or a 2.0 diesel based on the 3.0 from the Silverado, either would have helped it compete. The 4.3 with a 10 speed is a far better choice than the current offering as a truck engine and would have delivered better economy and reliability than the 2.7 T. AND GIVE ME A LIGHT SWITCH AND TRIP METER BUTTON! They spent a ton of money and made too many questionable choices.

27mpg with higher cost fuel, that probably makes it closer than you think. You can configure the infotainment to your liking and it's rare that you even need to use it anyways, resetting the trip is not needed often and headlights stay on auto. I've had mine since July and it's been completely fine

A lot of these are kind of dumb complaints. GM couldnt put an all windows up button because of safety regulations, you dont want an accidental swipe to suddenly change whether you are in 2h or 4h. Early MPG is useless because the engine has not been properly broken in yet. Aside from reviewers moving some lesser used features to the screen is fine. Other reviewers tend to explain things better or give caveats when talking about an engine that hasnt been broken in.

[@GTGarageTalk]

I did admit that all of the complaints you addressed were minor nitpicks… But the real dealbreaker for me was the build quality and it just how cheap it felt inside

[@Logjammer69]

Watch Motor trends review.. mpg sucks and it’s not really faster than a Pro 4x

[@TREVORJB101]

I prefer the more aggressive ZR2 Colorado. GM should have made more of a distinction on the exterior, between trims on the Canyon. They all look the same. AT4 and AT4X should stand out more from the rest of the Canyon lineup. I agree on the rock rails. According to GM, they can support the weight of the vehicle and are durable regardless of being mounted to the body.

[@GTGarageTalk]

We are hoping to get in a ZR2. 🤞🏼

Well thanks. Talked me out of it lol. Seriously like the looks of the new Canyon and was considering "downsizing" from an F150. But you've helped confirm what I suspected all along; its simply not worth getting rid of my fullsize pickup. I wanted to SAVE when downsizing. Whats to SAVE here? NOTHING! MPG? Nope, my F150 crewcab twin turbo v6 averages low 20's all day. Price savings? Nope again, as I paid the SAME money as this AT4 for my crewcab 4x4 F150. Garage space? "Maybe", but we are talking a foot. That's it. A foot shorter overall than a CREWCAB short box fullsize F150, and 4 inches on each side narrower. Big whoop. I still couldn't use my garage any different than I do now. BUT, the "feel" inside between the two IS huge, however; the F150 is massively bigger inside in every way. Which equates to more comfort. And it seems built better. Even the turning radius is similar! So in short; to me, there is no "savings" at all in a midsize truck versus fullsize. And my engine with more horsepower and torque actually gets BETTER gas mileage. It's a no brainer now. Thank you.

Only complaint IMHO is the auto locker, should have an option with a manual push button locker like the at4x has. I don't want a guessing game of when it will come on. but let's be truthful, who is really going to take a 55k+ $$$ vehicle offroad...

[@Mournful3ch0]

The average new vehicle costs is over 48k. People have to get over the price. Its average now days. Which sucks. New 1500s with decent options are 67k.The 8 speed tans is heavily re worked than the old model. The motor is in the full sized gm twins for 2 years. If you want all the options then the Denali would be your choice.

I've owned the truck since July and haven't had a problem with (or noticed) most of the things pointed out here. The door flex doesn't happen when you are using the door, only if you pull on it when it's closed already so I never even noticed. Dash doesn't move or make noise on my AT4. In day to day driving the truck is great, there's always room for improvement though

[@Mikef1969]

$48,500 if you add the premium package. You can also change your settings and it auto locks when you walk away. Not many complaints as of yet with my purchase. You can also get the full Custer with the premium package in the AT4. I also added the 20” tires. They fill the fender well so much better and really make the truck look so good. The all windows down but not up is my only real complaint.

How you drive determines whether you meet gas mileage estimates. Don’t buy a truck if you don’t need a truck is great advice. Don’t buy a vehicle that doesn’t have what you want. GM does some cheap stuff. I couldn’t trust them regardless of how nice some of their products look.

[@brianhoyt2469]

Really seems as a lot of the gripes are superficial and mostly confined to how this particular test truck was optioned. There is some front underbody protection behind that air dam but if you want more you have to opt in for the skid plate package. Just my opinion but for a drawn out review that claims a bit of a biased favoring GM and so much time on build and price website some of these options/features missing should have been self evident. I love the 3rd Gen and there are some misses but overall it’s a huge leap forward in tech and capability and nothing else in its class touches it comparably optioned. Most gripes I hear/see in reviews are ridiculous because they mostly whine about features that are on full-size trucks. The biggest misses are the removal of the independent headlight control, not having a full size spare included or at least an option for one, and a little infotainment center customizability, poor rear seat and under seat design (there’s so much unnecessary over sized plastic around the steal seat frame. At the end of the day certain features will be more hit or miss depending on the individual so I HOPE those interested in them go find out for themselves.

@@bobbysmith9411 glad to hear about your owner's experience. Every press vehicle I have been around on this platform has had squeaky doors and interior bits. Just got out of the Colorado Trail Boss with the same issues. As stated several times in the video, I *desperately wanted* to love this pickup because I wanted to buy one. After this week with it, I decided it is easier for me to wait for them to work out the details. I will say, after having a $73k Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (another vehicle I was shopping for my family) I have a more favorable opinion of this nearly $50k pickup. I guess I am just getting old and cranky. 👴🏼😂 I still remember my first Silverado, a 2007 2LT Texas Edition with leather and a V8 for $37k....
