That's what I just ordered. I did the AT4 but with the performance offroad package it gave me the Bedliner, tow group, blacked-out rims, and badging it also removed the chin spoiler. My dad retired out of the Wentzville plant where these are made and always bought the GMC version of the trucks and so did his buddy that he used to ride to work with. He claimed the GMC was held to a higher QA standard but this was 20 years ago. I ordered mine the way I did because it is almost exactly like his last truck.

In Los Angeles the difference between the 2 in price is about 5 grand not 400 bucks. To make it 400 you need to choose only navigation in GMC but Chevy fully loaded is 400 cheaper. But that is not comparable

ZR2. I chose the Z71 Rado in 2017 over the Canyon because in my area, there were 75 Colorados to 1 Canyon to choose from, and 5 Chevy dealers vs 1 GMC dealer. Now, after owning a Z71 for three years, I’d definitely choose the ZR2 next.

[@pucktoplay1]

Yes but understand not everyone wants a full size truck. I agree mid-size trucks are pricey, but getting them slightly used is a no brainer. Mid-size trucks are great for trails and have way better efficiency for people who don't need the full size bed all of the time. IF you are people/family hauling I understand the full size. I agree sometimes I am disappointed when I need to throw something in the bed occasionally that requires me to leave the tailgate open and use tie downs, but if I really need to haul that day, I will just hook up a small trailer and have hauling capacity for days. Can a full size get you 32+ mpg highway? nope.

[@zz750211]

I have a 2021 Colorado with the Duramax. One of the first things I did when I got it home was remove the chin spoiler because it just doesn't allow much clearance when offroad. I've honestly noticed no difference in fuel economy or anything and just my opinion of course but I think it looks better.

[@Kcducttaper1]

Great comparison! Y'all should do an MPG test with the chin spoilers on and off on a couple different pickups. Everyone always talks about how they have the chin spoiler "for better mpg", but I don't believe I've ever seen a real test that proves how much difference it makes.

My 2019 F150 XLT also has an actual key to start it.

That signal can be picked up from 300 feet away, copied, then downloaded to a blank fob and used at any time to access and start the vehicle and drive away. Apparently organized crime is all over this. They cruise neighborhoods and particularly malls if they see a vehicle in demand they'll sit by it, wait for the owner to approach, record the signal that their fob is always broadcasting, copy it and download it to a blank. Then the bad guy simply follows the owner home, gets the address and simply waits for a good time to walk up and steal the car. They immediately drive it to a shipping container headed overseas never to be seen again. And all this time I thought (wrongly) that push button start was less likely to be stolen.

They're all 5' beds on the lots.. what's the point of owning a truck anymore

[@GH-oi2jf]

The long box is 6’ 2”. The extended cab has the long box, but most buyers want the crew cab with a 5’ 2” box. You can order a crew cab with a long box if you prefer, but will also have a longer wheelbase.

[@jaybird9988]

Ya and if you want larger than that get a full size...

[@svpracer98]

I think the canyon pulls off the new facia better. But I still like my 2019 4x4 Canyon SLE

[@jasonmoore6448]

Sticker price is 42. Clearly you’ll get a better deal after some negotiating, and given good timing, maybe a much better deal. Personally I don’t get all the fussing about interior. As it is, it’s clean, very functional, and durable. The more plush it is, the more amenities and creature comforts they add...the more the price rises. Love my 2017 Colorado.

[@lindagonzalez9171]

How do they drive? Comfort or not?

[@betochipistube6543]

I don't care about the tires. The GMC doesn't even have a damn tow package and also bed liner. I have my own company and tow tool's and Trailer's. Hand's done 100% Colorado. For me.

[@killstrees]

My only complaint between these two is why don't the upper trim chevys come with cooled seats like the canyon? Chevy has either back and bottom heat or back heat. I would rather replace back only with cool like the canyon. Especially in the zr2. I would really like that feature in my zr2

[@joethomas6457]

Can I ask how hard the headlight bulbs are to replace. My brother has GMC and changing headlight is an unbelievable task and $500 bulbs. I miss 1999 headlight swing clips. So easy to replace bulbs. And they cost $30

[@TXH1138]

Too bad they don't make the GMC in the extended cab model. I want the longer bed, not 4 doors.

[@dannyg5636]

I feel like they put little extra things on the Canyon due to the Colorado having another higher offroad package

[@Ekowal1965]

In Colorado you get extra liner and Tow Hook. Tires ? Eventually you can put on better tires on Colorado

[@stevekovacs4093]

The big wrangler tires are a 500 buck option on the Colorado

[@jeffreysmall8902]

You could slap the same tires on the Colorado and equipment with towing

[@arlendunbar71]

After watching this video I will have to reconsider the GMC, it just look's better. I actually looked at a GMC dealer website about an hour from me. Funny as it sounds they have a 2018 Raptor the same color as the one you guy's just got. It has 65 thousand miles and they want 52 thousand for it. Is this worth it? Any feedback from you guy's would be appreciated.

[@ritaisland]

My 2020 Silverado Z71 trail boss cost less 40k after incentives, much more of a truck than these two.

[@chrismair8161]

My Bowtie has a Mallet Superchanger called a Blower. 3 inch Catback exhaust and I push 435Hp@5000rpm. Only 1 in Alberta. Mine does 252 Km/hr.

[@supermotog450x4]

Either or-just add the E locker option from GM. Do they not offer that upon customer request?

[@RangerxTurbo]

🤔what truck has the best mpg and a good daily. Not trying to break the bank in current market but want a bed

[@acdc5579]

Chevy Colorado for me. Not a big fan of the taillights on the GMC but the front end is nicer looking. . Other than the front end and the taillights these trucks are almost identical. Tires you can change on your own.

What is the rubber seal for

[@kevinvoyer5053]

I’m in my second Colorado, the first was an Ext Cab, so I was forced to trade it in for a CrewCab, when we both retired and needed only one vehicle. I’ve never had any issues, get very good mileage, have many miles of effortless towing, with first a 22’, 4,000 lbs travel trailer, then we traded for an all around larger trailer, that’s 26’ ling, by a full 96” wide and up to 6,000 lbs max as the heaviest we ever travel in the 4,800 lbs ready to go but empty trailer. When the time comes we need to replace it? The first place I’ll look is at the Chevy dealer. Both truck are the very same, sure the GMC is a “premium” brand😉, but there are more Chevy dealers around if needed on my travels. Looks are subjective, yes the front end looks a little more like a truck on the Canyon, but from all other angles, especially from the sides with the smooth bulging fenders on the Colorado, look so much better to me than the dimpled busy looking fenders on the Canyon! Just my $.02 worth. Oh one more issue, instead of a Z71 this time? I went with a WT, with every package available, the only items I don’t have are the “leather” seats, with heat, two tone interior and black grill. But I have everything else! For approx 6kLESS! At 33k ! Both are 4x4.

[@wryankrny]

Shouldn't the AT4 be compared to the zr2?

[@swgforthefence]

I AGREE. GMC for your reasons also! Yes they’re the same inside but for some reason you look like you fit better in the GMC when you got in.

[@davidleadford6511]

Dunno about the Goodyear tires. They tend to pull to the left.
