Thanks: PICKUP TRUCK MOSCOW @PICKUPTRUCK 2024 GMC Canyon $–$ At a Glance HIGHS Easy to drive, finally has off-road-focused models to match Chevy's, sweet-looking interior. LOWS Premium pricing dogs the top trims, no diesel option, new turbo four gets worse fuel economy than discontinued V-6. VERDICT Powerful, capable, and ready to get muddy, the Canyon is a compelling mid-size truck, but it's more expensive than its very similar Chevy Colorado sibling. Overview The mid-size GMC Canyon is a mechanical twin of Chevy's Colorado, and both do their very best to offer the power and capability of their full-size counterparts. This earned both trucks a place on our 2024 Editors' Choice list. These smaller, mid-size trucks have gone as far as borrowing tools from the likes of the Sierra and Silverado 1500, which is where the Canyon's 310-hp turbocharged four-cylinder comes from. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission, leaving the Jeep Gladiator and Toyota Tacoma as the only mid-size trucks that offer a manual. The Canyon's interior is distinguished from the Colorado's by differences in its instrument panel design, materials, and trim accents—changes aimed at elevating the cabin environs. Both brands' trucks offer a segment-leading max towing capacity of 7700 pounds and similar extreme off-road versions; the Canyon's hardcore model is the AT4X AEV Edition. What's New for 2024? Having launched its new-gen mid-size Canyon in 2023, GMC makes no significant changes to most of the lineup. But it does add a max-capability AEV Edition model to its off-road AT4X trim. The AEV side of the business includes exclusive 17-inch AEV wheels wrapped in imposing 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler MT tires, additional, stronger skid plates, and AEV steel bumpers. The AEV Edition stands 1.5 inches taller than the regular AT4X for a total of 12.2 inches of ground clearance. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 GMC Canyon starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. Elevation: $37,895 AT4: $44,895 Denali: $52,895 AT4X: $55,895 AT4X AEV: $65,995 Significantly pricier than the Chevy it shares most parts with, the Canyon is for those who want something different from what the bowtie brand offers and don't mind paying for it. With that in mind, $50,000 is still a lot for a mid-size pickup (looking at you, Canyon Denali), so we'd feel better about suggesting Canyon AT4, which offers plenty of standard equipment, such as four-wheel drive, an infotainment system, and a lift, but for much less than the Denali trim. Heated front seats that are manually adjustable are also standard on the AT4, and so is the nice-to-have remote start. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Every Canyon uses a 310-hp turbocharged inline-four engine with 430 pound-feet of torque. That's bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive as standard, but we strongly suggest going with the optional four-wheel drive. This gives the Canyon more power and torque than the V-6 powertrains found in the Honda Ridgeline, Jeep Gladiator, and Toyota Tacoma. Unfortunately, an issue shared with the Chevy Colorado is the discontinuation of the Duramax Diesel. The Canyon has nicely weighted steering and a firm brake pedal that matches the characteristics of its solid-feeling chassis. We called the last-generation GM mid-size pickups “the best-driving body-on-frame vehicle on sale today“ in 2019, but these new trucks manage to improve on that. We found trail crawling in the AT4X AEV to be a proper adventure. And what's more, that adventure won't be plagued with violent road or tire noise during the highways that connect your favorite trailheads. Read More 📌 Instagram ▶ 📌 Tiktok ▶ @cartvpress
