GMC Canyon debut. August 11

I find it amusing back in the day, The chevy versions looked less appealing than GMC variants.
Now the GMCs look god awful.

I'll just cut and past what I posted on the 6G site:

Looks way better, inside and out, than the outgoing model. It's a tad Tacoma-ish looking IMO, but not enough to deter me. I was very surprised that they are not using the 10spd though. I wouldn't want to buy in the first year, simply because of the 8spd.
I like the stake pockets. That's an important feature for me. And plenty of tie-downs. I couldn't find any mention of a power rear window and zooming in on the interior pics, I couldn't see a button for one. One of the interior pics had an extra 4 buttons on the drivers door, beside the lock/unlock buttons, so I think they may have a memory seat/mirrors option.
If GM releases the Canyon AT4x with the multi tailgate option, then it'd be hard for Ford to win me over....unless they add stake pockets and a memory option....and power rear window to the N/A model. I know those are minor items to determine a purchase on, but both the new Ford and GM trucks look really good inside and out, that it will be the minor items that make the difference.

Can't believe it. 8 pages before anybody mentioned stake pockets. What more could one ask for. Bells & whistles just make people overlook the important stuff. Count me in for stake pockets, but not for the BowTie.

I really
When my first generation [2002 bought new] Tundra frame broke last month, I ordered a 2022 Colorado. I need stake pockets and the GM small pickups are the only ones which have them. I really wanted a Ranger.

Bummer.
'23 Coloranyon is going to be crew cab/5'box only. That leaves only the Taco and Nissan Frontier with 6' box options. Looks like market share doesn't mean anything at Ford and GM. When Ford dropped the Focus and GM the Cruz, Toyota spent $170M to increase Corolla production in Mississippi, and expanded Tacoma production in Mexico; all Tacomas are made there now.

Oh yeah, Silver with steelies? My kinda chevy.

I'll see how they fair in a few years.

GEEZ i miss trucks being - trucks. no more long beds or single cabs. no manual transmissions or rolly windows no bench seats. everything comes with so much junk we dont really need and we can no longer get something simple like a stake pocket. i was upset when i realized the 5g had no stake pockets. what the hell ford. cost too much to stamp a pocket in!

I have bed rails from my F150 sitting in my garages corner for this reason. Lack of pockets was pretty surprising to me.
