Overall Rating
GMC Canyon:
The Chevrolet Colorado is a series of compact pickup trucks and mid-size pickup trucks marketed by American automaker General Motors.

The Chevrolet Colorado and its twin, the GMC Canyon, were jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu, which began selling its own version worldwide in 2002. Production began in October 2003. In late 2005, Isuzu offered a version in North America called the Isuzu i-series. This North American model Isuzu shared North American powertrains, styling, and equipment with the Colorado/Canyon twins and differed from Isuzu's worldwide offering. All Chevrolet, GMC, and Isuzu versions worldwide are based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3. Most vehicles for markets outside North America are manufactured at a GM plant in Rayong, Thailand. All North American-market vehicles were manufactured by Shreveport Operations....(Read more on Wikipedia)

3.6 V6 (308 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Delivers strong and responsive performance, ideal for highway driving and significant towing. Without 4WD, it might feel slightly lighter and more agile.
Fuel Economy
Similar to the 4WD V6, with potentially a marginal improvement in fuel economy due to less drivetrain drag. Still a thirsty engine when pushed.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Strong V6 engine option with excellent towing capacity
- • Refreshed exterior styling for 2021
- • Available 4WD for enhanced off-road capability
- • Comfortable interior for a mid-size truck
- • Good balance of utility and daily drivability
Cons:
- • Base 2.5L engine can feel underpowered for some tasks
- • Fuel economy, especially with the V6 4WD, can be high
- • Interior materials in lower trims could be improved
- • Not tested by Euro NCAP (primary market is North America)
- • Rear seat space in Extended Cab is limited
