Is the 2023 GMC Canyon Denali a new luxury truck WORTH the PRICE?

FIRST LOOK: The all new Canyon is here and the Denali is the luxury trim for GMC's midsize truck. The Nissan Frontier, Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. On the outside you will find all new sheet metal, 20in wheels and fixed running boards. On the inside you will be greeted by a 2-tone interior, 6in HUD and 11.3in infotainment screen. Is the 2023 GMC Canyon Denali a new luxury truck WORTH the PRICE?

The prices on these sub full size trucks is just ridiculous lol. You can be sure that these will be near $55k with destination. For a 4 cylinder truck. Crazy.

[@vvvvel]

They've seriously blown this engine lol

[@eddiegarcia1560]

​@@vvvvel the excuse is the turbo. When I think of a Truck, I think of big sound. Not a Honda lawnmower

[@victordasilva5255]

You are wrong. 310 horses. 430 lb Ft of torque . Outperforms the v6 and same as 5.7 v8 at 3500 rpm. Watch the video of the gmc engineer…

[@Mr_Chris77]

Who cares about the engine. The freaking price is insane and you'd be a moron to pay that.

[@vvvvel]

Yeah even the mpgs are similar to the big motor so what's the point? GM requested it and they delivered.

[@mikesowell7969]

I think the fender trim should be painted the same color as the rest of the truck,especially on the Denali.

[@RaitisRides]

Good call

[@KUROSHURA]

I don’t know why that’s so hard to do. Especially on Luxury and Upmarket Brands.

[@hewster1]

No thanks. I can't stand paint matched fenders, it ruins the truck. The contrast is a better look

[@robertrobjobmann4380]

OK will just give us the option. That’s what I say we’re paying for the vehicle give us the option. We are the consumer how come I don’t give us options anymore they only give us what they want us to have crazy

[@ericB3444]

WRONG. CAR MAKER IS ALWAYS correct

[@mystictk4149]

I wasn’t really sure about how they made the design of it look but I’m honestly liking it more and more vs the last looking model. Now I think this is a well designed look and nice details with it.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@mystictk4149]

@@RaitisRides Thank you Joe, that means a lot from you.

[@teemack202]

I think people give chrome a bad rep because it was so popular before and got played out. It looks sharp when not overdone and makes the cars ‘ pop ‘

[@Cavemol5823]

Agreed chrome looks good

[@johnclark7973]

Love how they incorporated that good sized (proper) infotainment center so nicely into the dash. I would buy the truck just for these outstanding design choices. I am with you, the exterior should have all been one color (above the wheels). It doesn't bother me though that they didn't chrome the front tow parts.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right John!

[@briang4583]

Joe, I enjoy your reviews but one thing you never mention is payload capacity (i.e. yellow sticker in the driver's door jamb). I know payload is unique to each vehicle, but it would be interesting to know the payload of the vehicle you're reviewing. Thanks

[@PrzemyslawSliwinski]

That's the Truck King Trio's job! ;)

[@hewster1]

1580, more than my raptor 😂

[@williamraggio5707]

This truck especially in the Denali trim should have full LED Taillights. At this price point they should be standard.

[@DragonKnightX12]

Yea I like how Toyota went all out giving their new luxury Taco trim full time 4x4, adjustable shocks, and electric running boards. GM is like here’s a chrome running board for your Denali that cost the same as the Ranger Raptor.💀

[@wyntondennis1299]

That was one of the funniest zonks; zonking the antenna of the Gmc Denali😂

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the trucks with you.

[@johnclark7973]

That's a G O R G E O U S looking midsized truck, outside and inside. Especially in that black paint. It's a head turner for me.

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you are loving this one.

[@leeterwilliger2303]

I think the running boards should be power, or I'd just take them off. No reason the antenna isn't just a shark fin. The Taco might, might be, more reliable....but they feel cheap. I like this.

[@jakes5530]

Take the running boards off and this is an awesome looking truck. Definitely worth the price IMO.

[@RaitisRides]

I’m so glad that you like this one!

This is a beauty, GMC knocked out of the ballpark. A capable legit off-road truck with some serious sophistication.

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you are digging this one.

[@petemcfeet28]

I know when they started putting turbo 4 cylinders into cars and replacing the V6's the idea was "V6 power, 4 cylinder fuel economy" but for a truck application where the shear weight of the vehicle means the 4 cylinder is almost always going to require the turbos to be spinning, it doesn't make much sense. Sure, more torque but the fuel mileage is actually a lot less than my 2021 V6 and the 4 cylinder turbo will be far worse once it is actually under truck like loads with towing and loading the box up. And you can talk until you're blue in the face and I'm not going to believe a Turbo 4 banger will have the reliability or longevity of a similarly powered V6. I know they put a lot of work into that 2.7, I just think at least half of the truck folks, the real truck folks at least, would have chosen last year's V6 had that option remained. I know I was very excited for the redesign until I heard the V6 was gone. Now I feel I should stick with what I have as it will probably be the better choice for the long haul. They've essentially eliminated a reason for me to trade. She sure is pretty though, I'll give it that. Even if it sounds like a sewing machine. Cheers!

It's been in the Silverado for 5 years and been working fine.

[@RaitisRides]

I appreciate you saying that Julian!

[@davidzhang9590]

A great review from Joe. HOWEVER, I had a horrible ownership experience with my 2023 GMC Canyon Denali. My truck had WRONG suspension parts in the front right installed from factory, including the steering knuckle, the brake lines, the ABS sensor, and etc (they basically put some base trim non lifted Colorado parts into this Denali, which caused the vehicle to tilt and it was out of alignment). The truck also has software issues, where the infotainment system dies very often. The G force indicator on my truck also does not work. Squeaking sounds occur when driving at highway speed...Despite the severity of the defects, GMC Canada refused to offer any kind of compensations at this point. I am extremely disappointed by GM's quality control and customer service. I am pretty sure I will steer away from GM's vehicles in the future.

[@largol33t12]

You should have sued them for negligence. The wrong parts is enough proof of their idiocy and laziness.

[@darthbane2669]

I just love the new interiors in these trucks so much better!

[@nikola_tomic]

Instant question that pops up in my mind whenever someone puts luxury and truck in the same sentence is WHY?????? 😂

[@martinletang3596]

Things you didn't zonk....manual sunroof shade...manual rear slide window....did it even have rear a/c vents?

[@eddiegarcia1560]

The truck is gorgeous and that's coming from a '22 Frontier Pro-X owner. The engine is a zonk. Trucks are big and loud. Yeah you can argue the power is good but the sound isn't.

[@rockylee3281]

I have a 2021 GMC Canyon Denali. It's a nice truck but the 2023 GMC Canyon Denali blows it out of the water. This moved back to #1 on my list to replace my 2021 Canyon Denali lease after the great review by you and Steven assuming GMC will incentivize the lease as they did on my 2021. Thank you both for the great review. I have been waiting for this one for a hot minute. You made my evening and will be tuned in on May 5th for the on-throttle review.
