Chevy Colorado vs. GMC Canyon

Many people like what a pickup truck can do, but they don’t like the idea of having to use a ladder to climb inside. Fortunately, there’s now a compact pickup class that offers everything a truck does, but on a smaller scale. The Chevy Colorado is one example of a small Chevy truck.

Let’s see how it compares to the GMC Canyon in two key areas:

Off-Roading

The Chevy Colorado has outstanding off-road capability, which is especially apparent with the ZR2 trim. In addition to standard 4-wheel drive, this comes with:

• A 2-speed transfer case

• A transfer case shield

• Full-locking front and rear differentials

• An off-road rocker protection panel

• 31-inch off-road tires

• Dynamic damping suspension.

You’ll get even more with the ZR2 Bison trim level, which features AEV bumpers and skid plates, wheel moldings, and 32-inch off-road tires. The GMC Canyon does have some off-road capability, but you won’t find anything in its lineup that can compare to the Chevy Colorado ZR2.

Tech

Pickup trucks have a mostly utilitarian history, but that’s changed quite a bit in the last decade or so. The Chevy Colorado in particular is chock full of tech amenities that will keep you connected and entertained. It comes with a user-friendly and very responsive infotainment system with a 7-inch touch screen. Other built-in features include:

• Satellite radio

• Android Auto™

• Apple CarPlay™

• A 6-speaker stereo

• 2 USB ports

• Bluetooth®

Wireless device charging, HD radio, and a 7-speaker Bose® sound system are also available. The GMC Canyon has some of the same standard tech features, but satellite radio isn’t among them.
