I special ordered a Canyon AT4, blue, advanced trailering package, sprayed on bed liner in July of '23...fast forward 8 months of UAW strike, model year switchover delays, software rewrites, 'stop-sale' due to whatever other issues - I took delivery of my '24 on 3/30. Very nice upgrade from my '17 Colorado Z71. Ride is smoother overall, 4WD Auto worked great during an early April … snowstorm, but I miss my V6. Probably mostly the sound. The I4 TurboMax definitely has guts, better towing capacity, whatever...but the sound when I punch it is going to take some getting used to - not that its bad, just different. Exterior styling is AWESOME, despite being forced into a crew cab - previous ride was an Extended Cab, which was all I really needed. I'll miss that 12" of bed length come camping season, but I'll manage. Interior trim is primary reason for choosing over a new Colorado: Canyon, tuxedo...Colorado, cheap sport coat. Reason #2 was the front end styling, particularly below the bumper - Chevy needs to ditch that ugly ass rubber air dam and go with something a bit more aggressive. Only reason for the one star 'ding' is fuel economy - a 2.7L I4T has lower fuel economy than a 3.6L V6???
