These truck prices are thru the roof! Something has to give!

Alex and Travis, Do you think it is odd that GM is investing so many resources in the Off Road pickup market yet completely ignoring the equivalent SUV space where Wrangler, 4Runner and Bronco are earning $Billions? 🤔

I don't think they're completely ignoring it (AT4 currently exists for the terrain, acadia, and Yukon) but if I had to guess I think they're trying to put their resources in the market that has more space. The products you mentioned are the gold standard, and it was a bold move for Ford to throw the Bronco in the ring, but imagine what it would take for GM to put something forward to take on the Wrangler. -Travis

@@AAutoBuyersGuide I would imagine one good look at Ford's Bronco profits would be sufficient inspiration for GM to get back in the ring.

Very refreshing to hear an automotive journalist on KZread come out and give their criticisms. Breath of fresh air.

They need to do an suv version of this truck. Same everything just an SUV. Would be amazing.

Looks awesome, but i don't go that wild off road and too much for daily road commute, so im waiting for Ridgeline trailsport

The Ridgeline (and Trailsport) would have had a lot more difficulty completing this trail but you're spot on, it's not something most people will do. This package is not an inconsequential upgrade from a standard 4wd package, but if you liked the truck and didn't need the works you there are other options (like the standard AT4). -Travis

There does appear to be a lot of ways to do the GMC Canyon.

Thanks for comparing it with the Gladiator. I've been casually shopping for an off-road focused truck and I think the Gladiator and the Canyon/Colorado are my top choices if I decide to go midsize since I need an actually usable back seat. I wish you could get the GM engine in the Gladiator. It has so much more torque than the pentastar, and I'd be using it at high elevation so the turbo is a benefit too. One thing to keep in mind about the Gladiator Rubicon is that the base price doesn't include an automatic transmission or a hard top, both of which are $2k options. Of course Stellantis has a ton of cash on the hood of the remaining 2023s right now...

I just ordered one, so I can tell you that the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV MSRP is $55,895 + $10,100 = $65,995.00 for the base AEV edition + other options.

What's up with that antenna? What's wrong with the classic shark fin antenna? Will the truck even fit in a standard 7ft high garage with that?

I can't say that's something we measured but I think you'd still be ok with a 7 ft. garage. -Travis

Excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing it in your review.

Do they put a rear view mirror camera in this w/ the big tire in the way? If they don’t … c’mon GM you have the part, use it!

Excellent deep dive. I haven't seen quite an analysis of market segment, competition and features discussed in other channels coverage of this truck. Great job Alex!

Curious about headroom? Based on some videos it looks like a 6'4" guy would be brushing up against the headliner? I am actually 6'4"+1/4inch - often have headroom/comfort issues in smaller vehicles🤕😖!!

Amazing truck Alex!

I like your criticism Alex they went straight to the point. Hard plastic high price higher japanese competition plus the Jeep

Could tell when you were in the nom AEV because your cabin facing camera was showing things through rear window. That spare 35 in the bed is a non-sell for me.

An SUV version of this is such a no brainer. I don’t know. Call it a GMC Jimmy?

@AAutoBuyersGuide

We might see some of this migrate to an SUV but I don't think we'll see Jimmy in the short term. -Travis

If this ends up being around $70K would it be unreasonable to consider the Rivian R1T ($73K+) as a competitor? It's highly capable offroad, is a midsize, and beats it in a bunch of metrics.

Very interested to see your review of this.

Would be perfect if it wasn't a compact truck. You can't call it a mid size when it has less leg room than a maverick. Just needs 6 inches in rear leg room

35” tires? My back hurts just thinking about changing one. No thank you very much. The 33’s on my Land Cruiser are already too heavy for me.

@@AAutoBuyersGuide I live in the snow belt. If I'm not changing over from snows to summer tires twice a year, then I'm rotating twice a year. I'm sorry, but I simply see no reason for 34"+ tires other than bragging rights. They are heavier, more expensive, reduce performance, increase stopping distance, reduce fuel economy, worsen ride due to increased unsprung weight, use up more space (because the spare can't fit in the normal location). All of those disadvantages for what? So you can climb over a curb at the mall?

I want a convertible! Why don’t it have one!

they need to make the gear shift behind the steering wheel and then ill buy it

Ok dino boomer , when was the last time a truck had a column shifter? Tons of fun... But not going to happen on a new truck in our limited life span.

Leaving aside an emotional purchase I'd still go with a full size F150 or GM Product over these incredibly overpriced mid sized offerings. So far no straight up Ranger attack against this tho unlike what Ford did with their Bronco versus Jeep. Glad demand for this and the Jeep offerings are still crazy amazing tho!

I’m not one to usually complain about pricing in comments like the majority of folks BUT…..70k???? LOLLLLLL
