Living With The 2023 GMC Canyon Denali - How Good is This 2.7L Luxury Pickup? (POV Binaural Audio)

This truck is a beauty. I really wanted one of these but the unknown reliability made me go for a 23' trd pro tacoma instead. Looking forward to seeing the feedback from owners and issues that pop up.

Overpriced

Unaffordable, and how long will these little motors in heavy trucks last? The government regulations are killing cars and driving prices sky high

I wish I could find one to buy. No dealers around have them and when they get one, they are already sold.

Consumer Reports and Edmonds say that the Chevy / GMC Pickups are the WORST in reliability and to avoid them at all costs.

Yea very nice. In the previous edition I like the Chevy styling, especially the ZR2. But this Gen? I like the GMC across the board. I can see us getting a AT4. With towing and connivence package. For a reasonable under $48k.

I have no need for headlight switch. I never need it.

Which paint finish does it have? Nice color.

Looks like NH roads.

You give them too much credit on the headlights. Even Elon "we don't need no stinking buttons" Musk put headlight controls on the steering wheel.

It's no deal breaker, but it is ridiculous beyond being a pet peeve.

We didnt start the fire
But in the end we will get burnt by it😅
The good part, once one has gone without for years and finished those payments, the truck decides to sacrifice itself to the rust gods.
Enjoy.

I can see light thru the rear window around the edges.... this thing going to be 60k? pffff

Looking at this truck, I currently have a ‘22 Sierra - love the truck but it’s massive.

How’s the tech? Glitchy? My Google map feature is not useable, it’s so glitchy. Great review.

I love it but ain’t worth it it’s almost the same price range as a Sierra Denali

Hey, great review... One critique though, when you were showing the back seat area with you sitting there, I wish you would have given your size (height/weight) for comparison and/or context... Thanks for the review..!

That front end is ugly and ridiculous .

But seriously, what's up with the reflector looking thingies on the fenders? I mean, who at GM design looks at a truck and says, "you know what truck people want? Yellow reflector things on the fenders." And who are the co-workers who looked up in wonder and said "Yeah, absolutely, yellow reflectors on the fenders, you're a genius Bob!"

I love that gauge cluster screen. Wish I had that in my Colorado LT

My father bought a brand new Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie for $27g back in peak recession time in 2008. Now a Ram 1500 Laramie goes for $70g+

But the 2024 Tacoma TRD PRO will get the same power but a lot better gas mileage, but less towing capacity… but also looks badass… decisions, decisions 😅

Also, 2023 model with incandescent interior lighting? Lmao.

There is nothing luxury about this thing. Considering I can get all but the “truck” features in any modern vehicle and it would be far more reliable and safe.

This vehicle is an absolute joke. If you have to finance this vehicle for more than three years (already a bad idea) then you CANNOT AFFORD this truck. Sorry to rain on your parade.

It’s weird but I 100% was gonna buy this truck,,,,I liked the Colorado Trail Boss better it looks beefier and better to me,,,,I payed over 10k less and still got a loaded Trail Boss, the guy that ordered it and backed out got allmost every option including cruise control,power seat, tow package, damped tail gate with stow and go,, 11k is huge to me,,,and I only owe 13k after huge trade in allowance plus 5k down on top of that,,it would have took me one maybe two years because of the economy to pay it off,now I’ll have it payed off by December,,,it made total sense to me and for 500 bucks I can get it flashed to same torque as thi Denali! I’m so glad I didn’t buy this truck,,,I HATE CHROME TOO, and those Denai wheels are ugly to me

I've had my new Denali Canyon for a month and a half...Sterling Grey Metallic....LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!

Hear that turbo whistle while he was going 20 mph.....nope

This truck looks awesome, but...a 4 cylinder engine?????? Turbo or not, I just can't do it. I mean, the engine has to work so hard to deliver the output that it gets gas mileage worse that 6 cylinder engines!!!

I am also concerned this engine will have significant issues at higher mileage levels...works too hard.

There is no way these are worth 50000 . Stop buying at these prices

For the money it is going to have to be discounted if you want to compete with FORD.

Those side steps need to go.

I can't stand that the dashboard is all screen. No physical meters and no individual warning lights are a no-go for me.

Keep fixing your own cars fellas

Canyon vs Tacoma?

great looking truck but it is more expensive than Toyota

The Ruler is for Fishing 🎣

No guy in construction is gonna use that stupid tailgate ruler

New toyota is way better

It absolutely doesn't look premium 👎

The hard plastic on the top of the door panels are a joke! Hard plastic everywhere 👎

Just bought one and I love it

I traded my Ford Maverick for the 2023 Canyon Denali so that I could pull my brand new Airstream. The engine is incredible. Pulls like a diesel. Plenty of truck for my 20ft Caravel and the truck fits in my garage when I’m done. They KILLED the interior too. Such a pleasant place to be.

Really????? Comparing a $50,000 truck to a Honda Civic???

What a great truck. 430 torque. That’s crazy out of a turbo 4. Thanks for the review

I am the proud owner of a 2022 gmc canyon elevation. Owned it for about a year now and I absolutely love it. Super easy to park and super easy to carry around 200-300 pounds of tools and carry-alls around no problem. I get around 11.5L /100km with aggressive cooper discovery AT3 LT tires. Love it hope it lasts

Beyond glad the 3.6 is gone from these. What a DOG. I spent a week with one while my 2016 Colorado Duramax was in the shop and I hated it. My normal work commute I could not crack 20mpg no matter how hard I tried. After getting rid of my Colorado Duramax I went to a Silverado 2.7 HO and absolutely LOVE it. It gets 19-22mpg per tank regularly, is dead on as fast as the 5.3 I had before it between the Colorado and this too. My next truck will be a Colorado/Canyon again however as I love the looks and the better garageability of them. I will pour one out for the diesel even though it wasn't exactly quick if you needed it to be.

the fact the GMC logo is at a different height on the right screen compared to left screen is inexcusable. what else did they say 'eh good enough' on?

430 ft/lbs out of a turbo 4 banger is asking a whole lot. a lot of strain on a small motor. and the mpg from turbo 4 is not that impressive considering the lack of power you get. they are good on the highway but lack useable low speed torque compared to V6.

and this is my opinion but GM trucks after around 2013/2014 are a lot more disposable. the GMT800s are the best and the 900s are a close second. everything after that is a shortlived mess.

The new Colorado/Canyons look great inside & out. Not having a headlight switch is dumb and I’d really worry about the GM reliability/longevity. I’ll wait a couple years and buy another new Tacoma. My 21 has been bulletproof.

I had a ZR2 on order and decided to get the Denali that we got in sooner. I am so glad I did I love it. Plus I don’t need the extra 1 inch clearance. The interior is soooo much nicer. I came from an AMG GLB 35 and im not missing it. I love this truck. I have had zero issues personally and I think its comfy enough. I see myself keeping this for a lonnngggg time if the truck allows haha. My only complaint, with the Bose the mirror circle adjuster on, you can hear it rattle with bass. That’s slightly annoying. The wireless charging on my iPhone works barely. It’s spotty.

I have a 3.5l ecoboost f150. And while i hate how quiet it is, i do love hearing those mini diesel-esque whistles.
