Is the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X a BETTER truck to buy than a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro?

The Canyon is better in every specification than the Tacoma, yet people still buy those Mexican made Japanese trucks that do not support American workers. Probably have the red white and blue letters on the tailgate too! I don't get it! I've got just over 100,000 miles on my Canyon (took me 10 years to do it) and haven't had to make even one unscheduled visit to the dealership. You guys have really drunk the Toyota Kool-Aid!

I ordered a AT4 pretty much all the tech plus, bose, tow package, black tip exhaust. I had money down on it, waited 3 months. It came in the thursday right before labor day weekend according to the dealer site. I called they assured me it wasn't in yet. They sold it over the labor day weekend from under me. They offered me the AT4X that came in exactly like this truck. I just did not like the white interior, I have a kid and if I was to take this into the mud or to soccer practice and got into the white....I know it would not stay white. I got my money back, they couldn't find a replacement for a dealer trade from the AT4 or even a Denali. I found a 2023 Tundra limited down the street, with all the tech and it is a full size for the exact same price with the tonneau cover . I am really enjoying my Tundra. But, if they would of had more interior color choices for the AT4X, who knows maybe I would be driving it instead.

I don't give a damn what people say that AT4X is still badass in it's class the interior is also the best part. Not all midsized trucks were premium like this before back in the day.

Enjoyed your video and you having fun playing with the ‘23 Canyon. But how is it better than the Tacoma? Specs ARE INFERIOR. Our concerns will always be reliability with GM. Spoken as a former diehard, dedicated GM buyer/builder. At $58K +, I fear for GM trying to compete with Toyota in the mid truck size segment.

[@tomphillips2608]

Agreed. Time has proven every series of tacomas very reliable . I don't want to be paying 7 years down the line for probable engine/transmission problems. (I mean the average loan payoff terms, nowadays). Sticking with my' 11 Tacoma. Only 155000 miles. Barely broken in and smooth and quiet. No leaks, rattles . Never had an American car/truck do that!

[@kickadams8908ass]

I would not trust any American vehicle going under three feet of water... No interior LED lighting in the cab or inside the bed. no power sliding rear window? That's ridiculous for that price.

It's a shame that they only make that powertrain available. It's not particularly performant or fuel efficient, especially compared to outgoing and competitor options. Don't get me wrong, it's not *bad* - but it feels like another engine option could have really made this special. They nailed literally everything else.

You would think they would better gas mileage. Other than that it's a great truck

[@petemcfeet28]

I'm getting, on a BAD day, 20 mpg combined. Usually 22 mpg from my 2021 V6 Colorado. Explain to me again the advantage of a turbo 4 cylinder on a truck. Replacing or rebuilding turbos every 60,000 miles? Reduced longevity? Sounding like a Sonata? Oh and don't even think about using it as a real truck and have it loaded or tow near capacity because the gas mileage will be cut in half of the already terrible numbers. The old V6 would lose mpg under load but nowhere near as much as a turbo 4 banger which is why this truck gets terrible mileage. It is almost always under load for that size of engine and therefore, unless you have a feathery foot and just cruising at highway speed, the is ZERO advantage to the 4 banger turbo. In a 2010 VW golf, sure. It's not designed for work. But a 4x4 quad cab off road truck??????????? I'm not buying it. Torque be damned. Not everyone wants a $60k TOY. Some of us want usable vehicles, long term. Cheers. Love the looks though.
