Is The 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 Better Than a Colorado ZR2?

[@redcanoe14]

I have driven full size Dodge Ram 3500's for years, now is the time for me to change. I have become interested in the GMC Canyon AT4 and have watched a number of reviews, your review Lauren is one of the best, clear, succinct, yet thorough and honest. A good friend has the Colorado Diesel but is on his 3rd engine within the first 3 years...I love diesel, but this has put me off the Chevrolet Colorado. Thanks again Lauren.

[@CarCoachReports]

Thanks - much appreciated! The Yukon Denali is impressive as well

[@bobdavis3357]

YT has so many young and attractive women rating cars Today. But NONE of them have your ASE qualifications or expertise. So I only watch you. You always know what you're talking about, Lauren. I filled you in in the ford Ranger off road engine. Upgrade from fomoco once. But you have shown ME A LOT more. I appreciate that about you.

[@kevinblock2307]

Great review 👍. I like the Canyon and the Colorado. Both are nice midsize choices

[@CarCoachReports]

Agreed!

[@bobdavis3357]

This is a solid little rig. I can't fit in it, but my brother has one and loves the V6.

[@CarCoachReports]

It needs a diesel as a work truck

[@bobdavis3357]

@@CarCoachReports I think that the 4 banger Diesel that GM builds isn't a good motor at all. I would buy a ford for that application. Or put the I6 Diesel into this little truck. THEN GM can talk to me. But there's no better work rig than a Ford, IMO.

[@bobdavis3357]

@@CarCoachReports Agreed. But a straight six Diesel. However, Ford is a better work rig in some aspects,y being a Chevy guy and all. The 3.6 lacks the torque of the D4.

[@TingTingalingy]

​@@bobdavis3357 i have an at4 and the 308hp engine hasn't let me down, especially in this current snurricane. Whay do you need more torque for? Work sites? Which makes me wonder why you don't get a full size if you need more torque.

Howdy Lauren from Texas ! I really have enjoyed all your videos and insight! Thanx and keep up the great work!! Stay Safe !

[@CarCoachReports]

Thanks Steven. You stay safe too! 😊👍

I have the 2018 Colorado LT extended cab which means no leather seats. You are so right about that Lauren! I made a few long trips and tried to swap out the seats but GM made that impossible. I just use it to go to work and pick up stuff at the big box store. Take stuff to the landfill, etc. For long trips I use the Honda Passport Elite, I can drive forever in that SUV.

[@bobdavis3357]

Thumbs up as usual. I had to see this review again. It's a nice little truck. Ok, okay. Midsize truck.

[@CarCoachReports]

Thanks 👍

[@brad4527]

Do you think there will be a Sunroof in the 2022 . So would you buy this over the 2021 Ford Ranger . I've chatted before with you and it's really nice that you reply people back, some people want . Thank you, Brad.

[@CarCoachReports]

I have not seen anything that states that as of today

[@morgancoldfirecoldfire8256]

less than competitors? back seats can only think of the ridge line having a bigger back seat . box size ridge line might have a bigger one but i believe for a crew cab the gmc/chev is the only one you can get in a long box. The ford ranger and the Tacoma are smaller trucks than the gmc/chev .

[@chrismurphy1174]

Excellent professional review

[@kc0lif]

sounds like good truck for midsize. used be chevrolet s10/ gmc somona.

[@CarCoachReports]

It does! Fun truck to drive!

@@morgancoldfirecoldfire8256 im a GM guy. But the s10 has its issues.

[@tristenlittke7593]

My only 2 or 3 complaints is the size like why are these trucks cost more then an 5 seater suv which are smaller then an suv like my complaints are 1. Midsize Trucks should be as wide as an suv not smaller. 2. Leg space I'm pretty sure a car has more leg space then this truck it's perfect for ppl who sit in back that are 5ft any taller then got an issue so ya lack of back passenger leg space. 3.dont know if I missed this detail but I know honda ridgeline has this option but automatic back window open button so no need to manually do it yourself or back passenger if any to do it

Hi Lauren listen to you on WBEN with David B.

[@jayczyzyk9707]

GMC? Reliability

[@jamescockriel9883]

Isn't the AT4 an off road package?

[@CarCoachReports]

Its a light off-road package.

[@ИванГригорьев-м8я]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Be_Good_Do_Good]

It's ridiculous that you try to compare this vehicle to the ZR2 when it is the exact mechanical replica of the Z71. You aren't the first or only person to do this so I am comfortably sure GMC has limited what you are aloud to say about the vehicle they lent you for free. If true, this means you can't be taken at your word as an independent researcher.

[@jamesclapp6940]

you could not give me a diesel...the pay off is out to 7.5 years and cost to repair is expensive and do not even tell me about the cost of an oil change(locally is is over $90.00 with filter!

[@CarCoachReports]

I love diesel they last forever and have more torque and better MPGs. That is why they sell different drivelines

[@morgancoldfirecoldfire8256]

in canada the pay off is about 5 years or less . gas is expensive here.

[@rayland8553]

They need to add a moonroof option!

[@bobbyfanman1734]

Yes, yes, yes, totally agree!! I was almost going to buy a Tacoma just to get a moonroof.

[@dansherwood1043]

Speaking of curves...

[@keyosh1152]

The answer: no

[@dansherwood1043]

Lauren, you did so good, we should start dating. When are you free?

[@CarCoachReports]

I’m happily married.

[@1str2lost78]

Film your own exterior shots and I won’t switch to another video you stole from

[@CarCoachReports]

Manufacturers supply us with professional footage that most people use. I just bought a drone to try shooting my own footage. There is a learning curve. Either way OEs spend millions of dollars on there pics and b-roll.
