The GM Authority Take
The slight increase in GMC Canyon sales during Q2 2021 underperformed the segment average as a result of substantially limited inventory at the retail level. The circumstance was caused by downtime at the GM Wentzville plant as a result of the ongoing microchip shortage, with the plant seeing significant production cuts during the first and second quarters of the 2021 calendar year.
GM has also partaken in building incomplete units of the GMC Canyon and its corporate cousin, the Chevy Colorado. The automaker has been shipping units to dealers as they were completed with the appropriate semiconductor hardware.
We expect GMC Canyon sales to rebound substantially in the near term future, so long as supply improves. In fact, there seems to be a healthy uptick in interest in the updated 2021 Canyon.

Poll: Should The MultiStow Tailgate Make Its Way To The GMC Sierra?
Comments
Why does the Chevy out sell the GMC ?
For me it’s the grill. It’s to big.
I have the Colorado Diesel and it is amazing on fuel. It’s hard to believe that the little 2.8 can be so impressive for such a small engine.
There is no drowning sound when driving around the city. What idiot came up with that?
GM discontinuing the diesel is a big mistake.
30 plus mpg is easy on the wallet. And pulling my travel trailer at 6000lbs is no problem.

Could the numbers also be attributed to GM’s transmission issues and their reluctance to rectify the issue for many loyal costumers?
Bothe the Colorado and the Canyon are basically the same inside and out except for the front end.
And they use the same transmission options.
But since you brought it up. MARY SHOULD HAVE HER HAT HANDED TO HER FOR NOT RECTIFYING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES.
And the 5.3 cylinder deactivation issues.
How many loyal GM customers have been ripped off while she collects her $40,000,000.00 a year
Totally disgusting…
When you don’t have inventory you can’t sell trucks…nuff said?
