GMC released its first official images of the 2017 Canyon Denali today. Most of GMC Canyon Denali changes for 17 are very subtle. Can you spot any?

I see it still has halogen projectors out front and halogen tails...so much for being a "Denali"...Doesn't even have a cool LCD/LED cluster like its big brother...

 

Denali is washed up compared to what it used to be but man the sales numbers are quite good on them...

Wonder if this rumour has any substance

"Roll back the clock to 2007 when GM made that famous announcement datelined TONAWANDA, NY. It stated: “General Motors Corp. will introduce a new, state-of-the-art 4.5-litre V-8 Duramax turbo-diesel that improves engine fuel efficiency by 25 per cent, reduces CO2 emissions by 13 per cent and cuts particulates and NOx emissions by at least 90 per cent for North American light duty trucks and the HUMMER H2 built after 2009.”

GM went on to say: “The premium V-8 diesel is expected to deliver class-leading torque, power and refinement while maintaining a significant fuel efficiency advantage over comparable-output gasoline engines.”
“The new dual-overhead cam, four-valve V-8 diesel engine will fit within the same space of a small-block V-8 gasoline engine. This compact size is made possible by using integral cylinder head exhaust manifolds, integral cam cover intake manifolds and a narrow block."
Is it still alive?

I'm hoping at a minimum that is has a power rear sliding window and cooled seats, other than that, I can't see paying more just to have Denali emblazed on the seats and bedliner.

First thing i noticed myself, for me anything today still equipped with halogen lighting is off the list of possible purchases! Learned that lesson with this 2014 truck which has horrible lighting performance.

 

Should be standard on every single model regardless of options that GM makes today.

It's not that halogens are bad per say...its more like a bad design (form over function aka projector vs. reflector) with halogen lighting. GMT-800 had some of if not the best reflector halogen lighting on the market.

 

However...after the GMC K2 fiasco, I'm surprised they haven't put more HID and LED lighting in their cars/trucks yet.

That's the problem, they like the updated look of projector housings but then choose to save money using lower end halogen lighting in them.

 

After the full size debacle it is really unacceptable that they went back to halogens and if i was in the market, yup without question this cost cut would make me skip right over the entire line all together regardless of anything else!

They will be priced higher then a full size truck

 

not all that shameful. the new canyon tows the same as a 1996 vortec half ton xcab...

and weighs within 300 pounds of its older big brother.

only smaller...

 

I would love one, whatever the trim.

I shouldn't say that.. gotta have some extras.

Very nice, beautiful truck! With an expensive price to come. I agree with everyone about the lights. What else have they cut cost on that is not so obvious? Plus they are all built on an asembly line so... The big companies are all about saving a few pennies (key switch example). That never seems to show in the MSRP.

 

On another note I am so glad they are using metalica paints now. That orange peel drives me crazy in older vehicles.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Atlas · Posted

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
