The 2023 GMC Canyon, now in its third generation, offers enhanced power and off-road capabilities, despite having fewer variants compared to its sister model, the Chevrolet Colorado. The Canyon first hit the market in 2005, was discontinued in 2012, then revived in 2015. The most recent iterations of both the Canyon and the Colorado are starkly different from their previous versions. Historically, the Denali's chrome wheels and additional chrome accents indicated a smoother, street-friendly vehicle. However, the latest Canyon models all feature off-road hardware, except for the top-tier AT4X, which takes off-roading to another level.

LOL, IF you can find one. There are NONE available within a 100 miles radius of me. ALL GMC stealerships do not carry this out of the 12 locations within a reachable driving distance (i.e. not more than 1-1.5 hours). I think GMC is cutting production to keep the price inflated. I won't bother anyway. Will look at their competition. This is why VW was lazy to not bring the Amarok to the States.

Yea I just took home an AT4 last week.. I'm out in southeast Michigan, my dealer wasn't stocked full of them but they did have seven, 3 Elevation 2 AT4 1 E1X and a Denali.. the Denali are a bit harder to find than the others, but there's definitely a few other dealers in the area i saw that have them .. I was lucky to find an AT4 that had pretty much all of the Denali options besides leather and HUD which I didn't mind anyways and was able to add rock rails, tonneau and removable front steps as dealer installed options..To my surprise there's actually more X's around than I had thought there'd be, and some without the E1 edition which lowers the price by about $8k so around mid-upper $50s and you still get basically everything except the front safari bar light bar and winch.. I enjoy weekend off roading but not enough to utilize the front locker and DSSV etc on the X and would've been almost $11k more being an E1 edition...plus I've been wth my dealer over 15 years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else so I had to choose from what they had.. my AT4 after discounts and accessories still came in under $50k so that sold it for me.. absolutely love it and looking forward to getting it muddy and havin some fun.. Edit, I'm just adding that the Edition One's options are essentially the same as the Desert Boss pack on the ZR2, which is also a $9k option.. over 60k for any premium midsize is hard to swallow but that's just the way of the world now, and these interiors and options are the best they've ever been, especially when compared to other trucks in the segment...

Edit, this is a lease if I didn't clarify, not financing which could end up being a whole different set of numbers

News update on GMC 2023 Canyon according to Google and CNN etc... If this is true then GMC management really screwed up from not offering 6 cylinder. Thinking that might be cause why they are in last place in sales now. They said they are in last place in sales for mid size pickups for 2023. I got the 2022 GMC Canyon Elevation a few months ago. It's in the 6 cylinder and in 4WD. I didn't go for the 2023 GMC Canyon model cause 6 cylinder is an must for me, and learned from this getting better gas mileage on my 6 cylinder then an 4 cylinder Canyon or Colorado.

And I don't have a 4 cylinder no more and never buy another one, not unless it's impossible for me to buy another 6 or 8 cylinder. On mine, my Canyon 6 cylinder in heavy urban areas getting anywhere from about an average of 16 or 17 mpg up to 24 mpg average, or most of the time. But long distance trips got up to 35.8 mpg. And yesterday heard on news the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado lost 40% of sales, and think it is probably cause they offer them in 6 cylinder no more and I think it is 40% of those people going with Nissan and Honda 6 cylinder mid size trucks. I would had done the same if my Canyon didn't come in 6 cylinder.
