Pics GMC Canyon next to 2015 TRD

I was driving by a GMC dealer today and spotted a new GMC Canyon parked in front. Took some pics of my Tacoma next to the Canyon and thought that I would share them here.

 

oh and here's the sticker from the GMC

 

This ^

 

That GMC has ugly lines and way too much chrome.

IMO.

 

Definitely got the better looking truck.

 

Agreed.

Here's what I noticed.

The step bumper on the GMC sits lower and the box is deeper.

From the front and sides the GMC is definitely bigger.

The part of the frame exposed in the rear wheel well looks a bit "light weight"

So basically the truck is bigger and costs a bit more, but from my viewpoint an F150 or a Ram isn't that big a jump. I like the Tacoma because of it's smaller size, if I wanted or needed a larger truck I would probably skip straight to a full size model.

 

That GMC is ugly!!

Looks like something my dad would drive (70 yrs old)

 

Well, but I'm guessing the amount you knock of the GMC price out the door is more than for the Tacoma. In general GM ends up selling at a deeper discount compared to Toyota. Though I understand the Canyon/Colorado have been selling pretty quick off the lots so maybe that isn't true right now.

MSRP is often and apples to oranges comparison between different car companies because what you get out the door after discounts and incentives is what matters in the end.

OP - Thanks for taking the time to post the photos! For me at least I'm even more certain about my recent Tacoma order after seeing them - but aesthetics is pretty low on my list of priorities.

 

Your Tacoma is much nicer

 

I have 11K miles on my 2015 (bought in October last year). No problems and the truck is pretty solid. I don't think that the interior is dated at all and in fact the bluetooth radio works pretty well for me. Decided to install lights under the hood and rewired the USB port to the glove box (where the ipod is tucked away out of sight). Added weather techs and the oem bed mat. Happy with the wethertechs and the bed mat definitely suppresses the road noise.

 

Thanks guys

 

37k for typical GM style (zero style/Fisher Price design).

 

$37k?!?!?

And the typical GM front bumper with 4" of ground clearance. Why do they do that?

 

That front valence is easily removed for more clearance but would probably still sit lower than the tacoma

 

Does that really make that much of a difference in fuel economy?

 

The GMC's front end looks eerily similar to the '16 Tacoma.

 

gmc looks like it belongs on the road only, not for offroading...LOL. I have driven one, it does have nice options compared to the more analog tacoma.

 

Tacoma definitely looks more manly and truck like. The GM twins are just hideous to me.

 

Not a fan of the GMC...

 

I can see where Toyota got the idea for the 2016 Tacoma grille.
