The 2023 GMC Canyon is poised to introduce a complete overhaul for the pickup truck nameplate, ushering in a fresh third generation. Now, it looks as though the 2023 GMC Canyon could offer red seatbelts on one or more trim levels.
Per recent GM Authority spy photos, a 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X prototype was recently caught testing with the driver strapped in with a red seatbelt. Seeing this, we can speculate that the final production model may offer red seatbelts as well.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the upcoming third-generation 2023 GMC Canyon. GM released the first official teaser images for the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X in April, confirming that the Canyon will be the second vehicle in the GMC brand lineup to gain an AT4X. The fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 was the first model to offer the AT4X trim.
In the teaser, GM acknowledged that the upcoming AT4X would be equipped with new badging, rocker protectors, and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels.
Prior to the release of this teaser, GM Authority brought you several rounds of spy photos showing the third-gen 2023 GMC Canyon out and about testing in prototype form. These latest spy photos, however, show the pickup without the usual black vinyl coverings, although the truck is still draped in black-and-white camo with placeholder headlights and taillights.
Further details specific to the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X include Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT off-road tires, sized at 285/70R17, as well as the likely inclusion of MultiMatic DSSV dampers, as well as front and underbody skid plates.
More broadly speaking, the 2023 GMC Canyon will ride on an updated version of the GM GMT-31XX body-on-frame platform, as GM Authority was the first to report, while the electrical will be handled by GM’s Global B architecture, which may enable the truck to offer the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.
The new generation will also introduce a new exterior and interior treatment, as well as the all-new turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine. The L3B is also currently offered in the GMC Sierra 1500, where it’s rated at 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque, mating to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Production will once again takes place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri. Look for the next-gen 2023 GMCÂ Canyon to debut this summer.

And just wait until everyone notices that GMC is now forcing 3 years of OnStar service on all new vehicles for $1500.00 with no way to decline it. Buick too. Call customer assistance and lodge a complaint. Your $1500 charge is on all Buicks and GMCs invoiced after June 1st. Cadillac and Chevy are not forcing the OnStar subscription.
If it bothers you that much that GMs premium brands are doing this, then buy the Chevrolet equivalent instead.
I have not seen this. If true they should have just raised the price and said the o star was free.
This is a good point. Right now isn’t the time to be charging subscription as many people are getting burned by their multiple Netflix/Disney/HBO subscriptions. People are getting tired of charges they don’t really use.
I usually lease my GMC for three years and have to renew OnStar every year. $1500 is about what it costs me for the three years, so a win win for me, if true.
I know they are providing 3 Years of OnStar…. but I don’t believe they are actually charging for it… So please point to the relevant document. Otherwise this is nonsense.
Given how OnStar is now a big nothing, and the operators are barely able to converse in understandable English, I have the perfect answer to the problem:
Tell the salesman not just no, but absolutely no, and why. Then, walk out the door. It’s the same as walking out over “adjusted market value”, or $200 for the nitrogen in the tires that was put in at the factory, or any other nonsense.
my onstar safty @ security only cost me 239.99 for one year !!!!!!!!!
I took the one-month OnStar free offering by GMC, then they added two more free. Then I canceled. $40 a month CDN is way too much. I pay less for my cellphone.
Fabric dye for horrendously ugly red seat belts
It won’t be long before all seat belts are international orange, commercial trucks all ready have to have them so police can readily see you’re wearing you seatbelt.
Well no one with a cell phone would actually want On-Star would they? That’s like paying for Navigation when Google Maps on your phone is superior. OnStar is irrelevant now and I guess GM is going to get their onstar money one way or another. if this is true, i will never buy a new GMC again.
Well I agree with you completely, I know that there are people that want OnStar anyway. A lot of them are old and just don’t really know any better. Others just want the extra security of throwing money at another service.
time to just let On Star die…. it is not relevant in today’s world.
