Just bought a white 2024 Canyon AT4X - traded in a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe - super excited to pick it up in a few days! I wanted an AEV version but both it and the ZR2 Bison are the real unicorns.

Love it. Had I had more money, I would have sprung for the Canyon AT4X instead of the ZR2. Can't see the $6K price difference but I love the interior of the AT4X, by far, the most.

I like the ZR2 body more IMHO. More aggressive. This is slightly softer. I think you picked right. I agree not sure where the 4K difference comes in.

Pickups always have long overhangs, long wheelbases, and more weight up front, and poorer articulation than a Bronco or Wrangler, which makes them inherently not the best. But as far as pickups go, should be good.

[@buckhorncortez]

Ford uses a Torsen differential on a number of their trucks. The Torsen may be better for a front axle as it improves steering over a locking front axle.

[@johnnyringo4463]

I had a 2017 ZR2 Colorado. It was pretty good offroad, when it was running correct. Lol. Clunks, window problems, heater went out, USB charging ports worked randomly, some dash lights went out. It was horrible.

[@alexs3187]

@@buckhorncortez from Mike Levine “With advancements in suspension, shocks, tires and new tech like Trail Control, Trail 1-Pedal Drive and Trail Turn Assist, the Torsen diff is no longer an option because it doesn't provide the kind of customer benefit it did when it was on the Gen 1 Raptor over a decade ago.”

Its cool GM used two ends of the off-road spectrum to show off the new Colorado ZR2 and Canyon AT4X. The ZR2 was an all out desert run across hundreds of miles. The AT4X a slog through heavy forest. Since they're essentially the same truck besides some interior and exterior styling changes it showcases their all around capability.

[@forgedfromfreedom]

GM midsized trucks are looking great. Still can’t trust them for reliability though. Will have to wait a few years to see how they fair against Toyota and I know that’s setting the bar really high, but that’s what anyone should want from an off road vehicle; reliability.

[@wint_62]

GM Reliability is good, goof. What are you talking about? I know so many people that have Toyotas and have lots of problems. Your information is wrong. GM trucks are so much better than anything Toyota ever puts out.

[@madcratebuilder]

Reliability has been very good with the 2nd Gens, sure, you hear the trans complaints, but it not a failure problem, just a minor drivability problem that easily overcome. A few have broken Drive shafts and CV's but can happen to any truck if abused off road. Starting to see the 2nd Gen LFX and LGZ with 300K

[@trailrunnah8886]

Yes! Build this in an SUV body, and people would be lining up to get it. I currently have a 5th gen 4Runner, but I like everything about this truck better, except for the fact that it's a pickup. I don't need a pick up, I like the enclosed cargo area for my dogs and gear. Wranglers and Broncos are too expensive, and I don't like the removable roofs, and pretty sure the next 4Runner is going to suck. This could be a great opportunity for GM.

I mostly like my 4Runner, to me the worst part about it is the powertrain, I really don't like the power delivery of the 4.0. I'd also like bigger wheel wells in order to fit 35-in tire with simple mods, unlike the trouble that we have to go to now to even fit a 33.

[@mustlovedogs272]

That winch is the main selling point for me. May not need it but once but that one time can be a huge deal. The other is the crash bar up front. I'll hit a deer about once every two years on average around here. The repair averages about $4,000 and two weeks or so without my truck. If the bar on that truck is stout, all that money and lost time with a truck could be avoided.

Reliability isn't much of an issue with the Colorado and canyon as you think. I know they have their own little faults and quirks like thier 90s shitbox interiors and some having a rough shifting or shudder issues with the 8 spd Trans (not all....but some). But the 🌮ma isnt without its faults either. I know of dozens of happy 2nd gen Colorado ZR2 owners that have gotten over 100 thousand flawless free miles out of their trucks with just minor repairs. Both Diesel and gas variants. It all comes down to proper maintenance and how you drive it. My 2021 ZR2 has nearly 30k trouble free miles, and I'm looking forward to eventually buying a new ZR2 or AT4X IN 2024.

[@Avanchent]

@@LPM84. I understand and I’m not hating on GM by any means because I do like vehicles from all the big auto manufacturers, and in todays world any vehicle should run 200k miles relatively problem free, and an extended warranty is always an option if needed. The lack of a 6ft bed kills it for me though unfortunately, as a mid size truck with a 6ft bed is perfect for my needs as I’m not hauling around a family in it, don’t tow much, and don’t want a full size but still need the utility of a 6ft bed and going with a full size is just too much/too expensive for my needs. I’m sure you will love the 2024 though, GM seems to have knocked this truck out of the park.
