GM Canyon - Colorado
Just stopped at the GM dealer for service -- happened to see two GM Canyon parked in the lot.
One a 'X-cab version with jump seats in rear, and a small access door. One a 'D-cab version with full seats in rear and large access door.
Really, really like the shorter / small door version -- looks more streamlined and compact. And, we (personally) don't often need the rear seat except for storage anyway.
The x-cab' version looks more like the wing-door style of the older 2013 and earlier model of the GM 1500/2500 trucks.The door open from inside, no exterior handle - so, a cleaner look.
4x4 version looks more like a truck, 2x4 version looks more like a fake truck ... dipped lower in the front.
All decked out TOL Dual Cab 4x4 stickers at $44k, and the X-cab four cylinder version stickers at $24k .. That's a LOT of money for 4x4 and the upgrades that are primarily for "looks" and electronics, altho' it had leather seats and every option available.
Based on that - I'd predict this truck will eventually replace the 1500 models, and GM will produce Canyon / Colorado trucks, and next up a 2500 / 3500, and delete 1500 model totally ... The size, just to look at it, is not significantly smaller than the 1500 models... and the price is not significantly less either.
The short bed model looks - well, short. The long bed model is not a lot longer, and with a X-cab layout, a nice refined look -- the dual door configuration looks like a scaled down version of the larger Dual Cab, only smaller and looks bulky or boxy, not very attractive to my "truck eye".
If we didn't haul a 3000 lbs Lance camper around, we'd probably pick one up and drive it away. Nice looking truck and a LOT easier to park.
Claims 22 mpg with the four cylinder - so, not a great bonus in that regard.. We get 16-18 empty on highway in the 6.0L gasser.
