Right? Our work truck (05 sierra) doesn't even have a cassette player, vinyl seats, V6, not even adjustable mirror (have to press on the mirrors to adjust. Couldn't believe how basic this regular cab short box truck was. Manual roll down windows, AM FM, radio. 4 speakers, bench seat, 4x2. I'm surprised it has hub caps. But it works, and the surprise I found while doing a diff service is it has a limited slip differential. Only 80k km, so it should last for years to come. Live in Vancouver where they don't salt the roads, rust free.

It’s a foot shorter than my old 2008 Dodge Ram. 5ft vs 6.4ft bed. And it’s about 10 inches of less shoulder room inside but in some areas it’s actually bigger! And it weighs less as well 4270 vs 4889lbs. Same towing capacity 3500 vs 3450. Payload is a little down 1487 vs 1710. But power is up 210 vs 237 and torque is up 242 vs 259. I would say it’s basically even maybe a little bit better since it’s lighter.

This is definitely a trim level worth considering for my needs. I don't tow much and I certainly don't need any upgraded trim. I would happily purchase this and possibly upgrade the rims with something aftermarket.

I’ve had my WT for 3 months. And I love it

Thanks for this review. Just what I was looking for.

this is probably the nicest work truck ive ever seen

I like that kind of work truck Wow

It's better than small trucks used to be 20+ years ago. My stepdad had a 91 Sonoma. It was the cheapest built and smallest truck.

Nice

- the current Colorado is only available as a crew cab w/ the short bed so if like me you'd want a longer length bed and also don't need the extra seating capacity, you're simply outta luck and forced to go up to a Silverado for $10k more (new).. I do though like the simple, utilitarian vibe of it a lot though.

I would not recommend or consider this trim since GM neutered the engine with the lower output. Remember, the GMC canyon only gets the 310hp and 430 torque version in all trims.

7:45 so does this mean that you cant "upgrade" from the low engine to the higher engine for towing? just for more torque.

Better than EV plus you can hear the vroom noise

I have a 2009 Canyon with the 5.3. It would be cool to see that, and for GM to give more enthusiasm to possibly the last generation of ICE before the inevitable EV trucks. Some sort of final sendoff for enthusiasts to relish in the deep history of the LS-series, etc. But the market doesn't really care about that I guess. Only thing is, these new trucks don't really give off a raw, high-performance vibe - maybe it's the techy CUV-esque interior - but I'm sure they could do something to pull off a coherent look. Personally - the new trucks are bigger than the GMT355 and won't fit in my garage, so I'll keep my 12 MPG city 😬 and X-pipe exhaust

This truck is a flashback for me to my child and teen years. All trucks were utilitarian. I am visualizing C-10s, F-150s and more. My first car was almost a 1977 Dodge panel van in about 1990. It had a radio and that was about it. It got you there with lots of stuff and that was the job-period. The phrase was "Church on Sunday and Market on Monday." Though the interior with Car Play etc is tech that would never have been seen in my old panel van.

The best part about this, you can pay your Chevy dealer something like $500 and get the full 310hp/430tq of the ZR2 spec engine as it's just a tune, mechanically all 3 engine options are identical. I also noticed there is oil pressure and transmission temperature gauges in the instrument screen, that is a nice addition for a mid-size truck. This base model engine tune seemed slower than a Tacoma (it is less powerful than a Tacoma which is 278hp/265tq), obviously it will be downright quick if you get the dealer tune. Not much drama at full throttle though, whereas the Tacoma sounds like it's blasting down the back straight of a racetrack when you get on it haha.

These base stripped trucks prove that they COULD be simpler but aren’t simply because it would cost the manufacturer more to tool up with parts they no longer use. Roll up windows, a simple Bluetooth/AUX radio etc. Hell, even a single cab long bed. It’s cheaper to use the current parts bin filled with touchscreens, power features, cloth interiors, and a crew cab body. A real cheap base work truck would be cheap for the buyer, but the manufacturer will lose money on each one sold at ~$20k+. It sucks but they aren’t in it to lose.

No telescoping wheel, no center arm rest in the rear, halogen lights. When you're talking $45k for a vehicle - it's really not acceptable and it makes GM vehicles a step below the competition.
