Colorado or Canyon?

Both new models eliminating the V-6 engine is a deal breaker for me.
Why? I think the 2.7 turbo-4 is a better engine than the 3.6 v6. I’m not saying the 3.6 is bad, but this new engine was designed for trucks while I always got the impression the 3.6 was a family car engine put into a truck because it’s what they had floating around.
 
After looking at Colorados, Canyon’s and the like, for a few dollars more I can get a 1500 with a V8.
Then, if I’m spending more, I might as well get an HD that I can grease the steering, doesn’t have stop/start, cylinder dropping and comes with the tires I’d put on a 1500.
If I’m spending extra money for a full size HD, might as well spend a couple thousand more for the 3500.

You just went from like a 50k truck to a 90k+ truck in five seconds

Happens. My daughter tried out a Diesel Canyon a few years ago and found the rear facing baby seats wouldn’t fit. We had already decided on the color, and the only full size in graphite metallic, dark slate metallic in GMCs, was a 3500 Diesel High Country.

Same goes for the Acadia and other vehicles built on the same platform.
The 2023s will be known as the last of the good ones.

Now we’re stuck with turbo 4s running on two cylinders half of the time, shutting off at every stop sign, making everyone behind you late for work and probably fake AI generated engine noise coming through the speakers and running on 0W20.

Complexity is the enemy of reliability. Have at it.

Not really factual so not sure if serious.
