2022 GMC Canyon Extended Cab No Longer Available To Order

GM will cease production of the current-generation GMC Canyon later this year as it prepares to shift production to the next-generation model in early 2023. As part of this gradual production wind-down, the automaker stopped taking orders for the 2022 GMC Canyon Extended Cab, leaving the Crew Cab as the sole body style available to order for the remainder of the year.
The GMC Canyon Extended Cab was offered in conjunction with the base Canyon Elevation Standard and Canyon Elevation trim levels only, leaving out the popular Denali and AT4 trim levels. This change means the GMC Canyon will be available with a Crew Cab and either a standard 5.5-foot box or a longer 6.1-foot box. The majority of GMC Canyon buyers are looking for a four-door truck, so this change is unlikely to hurt Canyon sales in the remaining six months of the year.
The only 2023 Canyon configuration we’ve seen GM test so far is the Crew Cab, Short Box variant. Given the level of demand for Crew Cab trucks, especially in more premium (and thus more profit-heavy) trucks, it’s unclear whether an extended cab will be offered in the next-gen Canyon. The Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma are still offered in extended cab configurations, it’s worth noting, although similar to the current Canyon Extended Cab, these are not big sellers outside of fleets.
Production of the 2022 GMC Canyon was originally slated to end in October of this year, with orders for the 2022 model year halted in July. Sources familiar with the matter later indicated production of the 2022MY had been extended by two months, pushing the final production date to December 23rd, with the last order window set for the week of October 20th.
Production of the 2022 GMC Canyon Extended Cab and Crew Cab takes place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

Maybe they should go back to the regular cab again. Not everybody needs the 4 drs. Our kids are gone so the silver hairs don’t need it. No, we don’t need an EV piece of junk to pull our trailer.
It doesn’t matter what everyone needs, it’s about selling what everyone wants.
They want 4 doors, AWD / 4WD, and some sort of bed as decoration.
I agree with over the hill. Once again GM forgets the people that want a truck,not a grocery hauling crew cab with a box so small it should be called a suv. Trucks once upon a time were used as work vehicles and now they are a glorified suv at best.
Agreed, I saw the 2023 version and fell in love. Couldn’t figure out why there wasn’t a long box option on the website. I know I’m in the minority, but I can’t for the life of me understand why people buy short box pickups.
There was a time people used trucks just for work. In fact many used cars as trucks too. My father carried plywood on the roof of his Chevelles.
Today most cars can not haul anything and many people still want a larger vehicle so they have moved to SuV and truck models.
Trucks today are a work vehicle, family vehicle, a lifestyle vehicle. It is like a Swiss Army knife and fits a number of needs
I have hauled mulch, engines, my sons soap box derby car and a number of different things from Menards. But I also drove it to work, church and the mall with more than 3 people in it.
I had a standard S10 then a extended cab Sonoma now a Crew Canyon and the Canyon has been able to fill many roles.
What it is about today is utility. I have a Malibu and it is a nice car but you really can’t haul much in it. Big trunk but small opening. Can’t haul on the roof like dad as it will dent.
As cars shrank people have turned to vehicles they can use for more things.
The harsh reality people find they can live with one crew truck easier than a standard cab and a car.
Because of this people are buying more crew trucks as are companies.
Of all my trucks I have been able to do more with my crew than the other body styles. I do wish GM would keep the long bed but with sales not being that high I understand why it may be going away. The extended cab, crew and long bed did not share much body panels so it was not cheap to offer all three.
Also globally crew trucks are dominate body styles as that is about all that is offered. Most people there can only afford one vehicle so it is everything to them.
Few things, A, cars haven’t shrunk with exception to the massive Grandvilles, Broughams and Devilles, all others from their 70’s counter part that have kept a size class have gotten bigger. Especially when you start talking about model lines that have kept going from the 80’s on. Cars back in the day weren’t as big or heavy as they seemed, cars today are heavier.
B, most of these trucks while they can be a swiss army knife and are for many, most don’t use them as such. You know how many buddies I have with these trucks that aren’t the handy man/outdoors types that utilize the bed at all let alone the town hitch? Very few in our circle do. They hire lawn services, repair many and have stuff delivered. They would be much better served with an explorer for their day to day but like the image. These guys when asked say it isn’t macho enough, an explorer to the guys is like a minivan to their wives. That is how most of the buyers are, they fall in the image category.
C, the mid size extended, crew and long bed didn’t share many body panels? They shared all between them. The crew cab was the exact same whether long or short bed. The extended cab shared the same bed as the long bed, and the front doors, headlights, fenders, etc were all the exact same. They shared all of their parts between the three in one way or another, it was the frame that was different (extended cab and crew cab short bed shared frames). Shoot, the shocks/suspension were all the same if I recall excluding gas vs diesel.
Hmm my 08 Malibu is not the same size as my fathers 67-68-69-70-72 Malibus?
Your Buddies may not pull weeds but they buy big screen TVs and other items that do not fit in a Malibu trunk. Carry a bicycle much easier in a truck or even a CUV. Around here I could not count the trucks carting paddle boats that are the new lifestyle thing here they are not in Malibu trunks or on their roofs.
C the same number is not the factor as the number of different panels for the back of the cab are not shared. So to build three models it took three different panels vs a full size truck cab on top of the bed panel.
The extended cab does not have the same bed as the long bed. Different quarters all added costs.
Diesel did have heavier socks and springs.
They are much more different than you realize. A member on the Colorado forum pointed this out when he was looking for a new long bed and found the extended cab was not the same.
Saw a guy trying to load a mid-sized crew cab small bed with bags of mulch. Couldn’t fit what he bought in the bed so he as loading bags in the rear seat. He also was wearing flip flops with socks. To each his own. Years ago people had wagons for hauling families, trailers and supplies. Times change but not always for the better.
Loaded 40 bags in mine this year and it did it better than the Dakota I used in the past.
Imagine 40 bags in a Caprice?
Don’t try to BS someone uses a crew for work who wears Danner boots.
Oh well, guess there ain’t enough people buying them.
I hate my crew cab version. That stinks. The extended cab functions better as a truck.
Why can’t we get a real long bed with a 4 Dr. All it takes is a longer frame/wheelbase.
I can’t put a 5th wheel hitch in that tiny bed hung out over the back wheels.
A long bed would restore the “truck” in pickup.
Roger we can get a long bed but mid size trucks are not suited for heavy 5th wheel trailers.
Might check out the crew long bed that has a longer frame. Not a big seller but it has been offered for only 7 years.
The old extended cabs in the Sonoma were good to use as they had open flat floors with a side flip down seat. Not the safest thing but one person could sit with leg room.
Today the Colorado has two bases on the floor that two seats fold down on so no floor room.
Then even with the two seats the leg room is less than a 911. You might get Lieutenant Dan back there but no one else. Even kids and dogs are a challenge.
Also the swing out doors have been a problem for rattles.
I liked my Sonoma extended cab but the Colorado was never an interest with the crap that they put back there and the two useless seats.
I would have considered one if it had a flat floor from the factory. Even my crew will fold flat for cargo in the back.
