2023 GMC Canyon vs Chevy Colorado: Can Either of GM's Twin Midsize Trucks BEAT Poor EPA Ratings?

My s10 blazer gets 22 at 80mph slow as a dog but $1800 can't complain goes the tows great

I don't care about fuel economy, I care about reliability, which is something that these trucks and the Ranger does not have. Thank got the Nissan Frontier still exist.

To see the ECO light you must “ADD” the MPG to the dash guage cluster. Its an option when youre in the trip menu. I just saw mine today. So when ECO lights up, the engine is in 2 cylinder mode?

Heighth is not a word.
It's height. Lol.

Andre, I think you need a vest like Mr. Truck😬

Once, and only once my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 got 25 mpg ! This was heading eastbound on I 80 in Nebraska. The wind was minimal and the road tilted slightly down hill. To do it the speed had to be kept down to 55 mph to make the 5.3 L churn along. At 65 mph it can get 17.9 mpg. In town it gets about 12.5 mpg. Now the truck has 246,000 and I still am using it. It is currently having it's rough spots smoothed out by a competent and considerate mechanic.

So basically the bigger tires barely affect mpg. Good to know.

They need to make it for 85 the mountain west is all 85 87 is like priumum here that's not a great deal.

I really hate that they buried important functions in the infotainment screen. It's a terrible move by GM and I'd even say it's unsafe.
Also, it's insane that any brand vehicle these days wold come without cruise control. It's nuts considering how expensive these trucks are.

Supercharged?

Chevys are always the cheap cheap brand 😂

I talked to my shell dealer and laughed when I said 30 second top up which means zero 😂

The WT trim in the Colorado is around $30k

Imagine if GM kept the 2.8 duramax, gave it a timing chain instead of belt, 6L80 instead of 6L50, or the 10 speed, boy that truck would take over the market.

Dude in the hat is best enjoyed on mute.

Tacoma doesn’t tow for shit.

Thebmzan in gray sound like Arnold sur shinag9r

What’s with the waiting 30 seconds when the pump clicks?

tires are the reason for the difference.

I work at the plant that builds these 😊

I just started looking at the Colorado! What does High output mean?

Y'all should have factored in the weight difference of the two trucks as well. All the add-ons for the Canyon definitely add weight. I'd be interested to see how much closer they would have been. haha

I heard in our 2023 Chevy Colorado 2.7 Turbos that the fuel management cuts out cylinders #2 and #3 at higher speeds, that where you get the better fuel mileage at higher speeds.

I wish Mr truck was my grandpa!!!

Why does Andre always wear the same shirt? Lol😂

I don't get how its possible having to make all this trash before starting to drive to much crap.

I jjust purchased a 2023 Colorado traul boss with. Larger oversized P275/ 65R18 mud terraun tires. Living in northeast Tennessee by brustol and juhnsin city i am averaging 19.3 to 21.4 mpg drivung on our hilly terrain. That is much better fuel economy then i got on the 2023 tacoma TRD off Toad model truck i originallt purchased. It was barely getting 16 to 17.5 mpg driving around on interstates 26 and 81 in the tri cities in northeast Tennessee.

So i am vwry happy that i got rid of the 2023 Tacoma and bought the 2023 chey colirado Trail Boss.

Tonneau covers claim to increase fuel efficiency, by ten to twelve percent any truth to this

Definitely need the Denver Loop for the inevitable CO/Canyon/Ranger/Tacoma/Frontier/Gladiator shootout. Hell, make it a series with the Ike, Goldhill, and Immogene Pass or Red Cone. Really see what each one is capable of.

I’ve had 2 trucks go into limp mode from water in the gas from Sinclair I’m not a fan

Just picked up my 2023 Colorado Z71 today. Not even broke in yet and I got 21mpg at 73mph for 200+ miles. Yes, I drove over 3hrs to go test drive and buy a truck because that was the closest dealer that actually had one on the lot. I can't wait to see mpg after it breaks in.

If It makes Andre feel any better I have cruise on all my vehicles but never use it. $1250 for vinyl?

I can't wait until the same aftermarket parts for the 1500's with the 2.7 turbo become available for the Colorados and Canyons. That should help squeeze more MPG's out of them. Cold air intakes and tunes, particularly.

No cruise control. And people rip on Ford for their prices?

Problem is chevy built this truck cheap. Didn't use any weight saving materials at all.. the new colorado is 400 lbs heavier than last years model and that's ridiculous. It weighs almost aa much as a full size truck.

With how much the AT4 canyon is, how in the heck does a hitch not come standard with it?! Same with the Colorado…

How on earth is cruise control not a standard feature of all vehicles across the board in 2023?!? 🤦🏼‍♂️

That is absolutely shocking that any vehicle these days would come without cruise control. It has a giant digital display, but no cruise. What?

Bruh no cruise control on a brand new im assuming well over 40k truck that complete bull

Mr truck looks wierd without hair on his face.

Ugly trucks

Why did they discontinue the 2.8 baby diesel? Fuel economy for trucks has not improved (outside of 2 or 3 trucks) in 40 years.

Jhc, how much do you need to spend to get cruise control?

Don't top off new vehicles.

Man. I just drove from Chicago to Columbus Ohio and back in my 2018 3.6 cclb colorado. I got 26.7 mpg hand calculated. These trucks are disappointing.

My 11 Colorado get about 22 MPG crew cab Z71 3.7L 5 cylinder. I haven't done the 30 sec wait after the pump shuts off.

Interesting to see the difference. It must be down to the tires because, all other things being equal, the Chev should get slightly better than the GMC due to lower chin spoiler and lower torque engine.

The AT4 canyon is probably heavier with it being more optioned out and loaded up compared to the trail boss Colorado.

8k more gives you a lot more stuff in those trucks. Gotta get rid of that disgusting brown in the AT4.

Would you make an IKE towing test comparison between a Corvette and a Challenger? No?
So why compare fuel economy ON TRUCKS ???
I NEVER bought a truck because of fuel economy....
