2024 GMC Canyon Vs. 2024 Chevrolet Colorado
When it comes to choosing the perfect pickup truck, the 2024 GMC Canyon and the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado stand out as two compelling options. Both pickup trucks offer incredible performance, advanced technology, and the versatility needed for both work and play. However, pickup truck drivers often get confused about which one to pick, knowing the unique features and advantages each truck delivers. The experts at Terra Nova GMC Buick have compared the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado side-by-side on different parameters, helping you make an informed decision. Let’s explore what each has to offer!
Powerful Engine
The GMC Canyon runs standard on a TurboMax engine, which outputs 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, providing an unparalleled driving experience. Though the Chevy Colorado is available in two engine options, the TurboMax engine (standard on the Colorado Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2) delivers the same power as the Canyon. In terms of towing capacity, both the Canyon and Colorado can tow up to 3,493 kg (7,700 lbs).
Off-Road Capabilities
It’s tough competition between both pickup trucks when comparing the power that both deliver, but when talking about which one performs exceptionally well on challenging terrains, then you should opt for the GMC Canyon, as its incredible standard off-road suspension and ground clearance ensure you tackle tricky terrains confidently. Moreover, the Canyon is available with an off-road dedicated trim option, the AT4X, featuring performance-focused off-road features equipped by off-road recreational driving and overland adventure travel experts American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), including:
- Five AEV Hot-Stamped Boron Steel Skid Plates
- Unique AEV 17-inch Beadlock-Capable Wheels and 35-inch MT Tires
- Bed-Mounted Vertical Tire Carrier with a Full-Size Spare Wheel and Tire
- AEV Stamped Steel Front and Rear Bumpers
On the other hand, in the Colorado lineup, you get the ZR2 trim option but you have to upgrade it with the available Bison edition to enjoy elevated off-road performance. Some features included in this special edition are:
- Heavy-duty AEV front and rear bumpers
- Segment-first front and rear jounce control dampers
- Best-in-class underbody protection with 5 Boron steel skid plates
- AEV-branded floor liners and head restraints
Advanced Technologies
Both trucks are well-equipped with state-of-the-art technology features, ensuring you enjoy an immersive experience while finishing your work tasks. On the Canyon, you’ll find exclusive trailering technology like the off-road performance display and up to 10 camera views to make maneuvering through challenging trails easier. Whereas, on the Chevrolet Colorado, you get underbody cameras to get real-time forward and rear-facing views beneath the truck for easy driving through rugged terrains. Also, both GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado help drivers make informed decisions on the road with their comprehensive suite of innovative driver-assistance technologies.
Verdict: Which Vehicle Wins?
The 2024 GMC Canyon and 2024 Chevrolet Colorado comes with impressive qualities designed to add power, comfort and convenience to both your everyday travel and work life. After comparing both simultaneously, Terra Nova experts believe that the Canyon makes a standout choice for drivers seeking superior off-road capabilities and a strong powertrain system. Moreover, its smart trailering technology not only enhances the overall driving experience but also makes it easy to navigate even the most demanding roads confidently. Conversely, the Colorado makes for an ideal choice for those looking for value. Furthermore, the ZR2 trim, especially when upgraded to the Bison edition, showcases impressive off-road enhancements, making it a good pick as well.
