Note on Canyon's 4WD system: Both midsize trucks have 4HI and 4LO settings, however only Canyon has Autotrac.

Damn that's a good looking truck. This one appears to be pretty loaded. Afraid to see what the asking price is on this baby.

Still can't find a bad angle of this thing.

I'm pretty much priced out of Sierra so hopefully Canyon will be more affordable. Add in the better fuel economy and it's a win-win for my next truck.

Now if I can convince the state to replace my Ranger with a Colorado, I can have the best of both worlds.

I remember you driving a bus(?) for a side job at school and your family having a farm.

I graduated last May, was hired by the state of Florida in July, and moved in August.

And my family didn't have a farm, I worked at Ohio State's dairy in addition to my bus driving job.

I probably missed it, but I haven't seen anyone post a link yet to the GM site where you can view colors and what not:

Nice looking little truck. If I was in the market I would definitely check these out. I am not surprised that, once again, the GMC offering is far more appealing in looks than the Chevrolet counterpart. Even after seeing new Silverados in person they are not growing on me.

As another person pointed out, I am amused at how larges trucks have become today. I have a '93 C1500 and this 'midsize' appears it would swallow it whole.

This could be said about all cars today though. Your 1Le looks to be twice the size of my IROC. Even compare a Crown Vic to the new Taurus, and the size difference is major, despite being in the same class.

I guess I am the only one here that prefers the look of the Colorado to the Canyon...

I agree that the trucks have gotten bigger, but these midsizers still aren't huge or anything. Look at the comparison shots of this one next to the fullsize and it becomes pretty apparent that these are quite a bit smaller...but definitely not S-10/Ranger size either.

Some of these shots of the truck by itself does make it look fullsize though.

These trucks are perfect for me.
