General Motors introduced the all-new 2023 GMC Canyon last year, debuting a long list of updates and changes that includes new exterior styling, an overhauled interior space, a new powertrain, and new tech features. The latest third-gen pickup also introduces the GMC Canyon AT4X, a new off-road-ready, go-anywhere trim level packed with trail-ready goodies. Now, GM Authority has learned that the GMC Canyon AT4X will soon be available with removable off-road assist steps.
Assigned RPO Code RVP, the removable off-road assist steps for the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X can be bolted directly to the pickup’s off-road rocker protectors (RPO code BZT). The steps are priced at $495 for a set of two.

Given that the Canyon AT4X has a three-inch lift from the factory as part of its “Ultra High and Wide” stance / configuration, it’s likely that it’s not all that easy to get in and out of it. That is compounded further by the fact the truck’s rocker protectors don’t really offer a stepping surface. Hence, the removable steps should make it much easier to get in and out of the AT4X.
Looking ahead, The General is poised to launch the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition, which will offer even more off-road-centric equipment over the “standard” GMC Canyon AT4X. GM Authority recently posted an exclusive video detailing a teaser for the upcoming 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition.
As a reminder, the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X is equipped as standard with the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, specifically the High-Output variant rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The turbo ‘four mates to the second-generation GM eight-speed automatic transmission, which feeds the standard four-wheel drive system.
Under the body panels, the third-gen GMC Canyon rides on the updated GM 31XX platform. Production takes place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

Very interesting they are critiquing a vehicle that they can’t even deliver wow come on GM Authority do some investigative research. What is going on? Why are these vehicles still sitting there’s got to be more to it than transportation. There must be issues please somebody give us an update not some video that’s a nothing burger. All of these vehicles are showing in transit. The only state that seem to have dates when they’re going to arrive is California what is going on somebody please help lol.
We’ve had two so far. An AT4 that got sold instantly and a white elevation 4×2 crew sitting here now. At King o Rourke in Smithtown NY
My dealership has an order in but hasn’t got an allocation to build. It is a smaller dealership. Does the big ones get first dibs?
Not necessarily, GM (mostly) allocates each model on a “sales through availability” formula, using a days supply method calculated over a 3 or 12 month period. If your dealer historically sells more Canyons and sells them quicker they will earn more. But they also probably have more orders to fill so if you are on top of your smaller volume dealers list you could get yours faster than if you were say number 10 on the larger volume dealers list.
I agree. Something is wonky and GM isn’t being up front with itS customers. I still think it is market manipulation on their part. If they truly wanted to sell vehicles they would find a way to produce them and delivery them in a timely manner. Cut the bull s#*t, GM!
I ordered a GMC Canyon Denali February 17th from a Minnesota Dealer and they haven’t a clue as to when my truck will ship.
They seem to know nothing. Very frustrating. BOO GM !
The joke of GM’s transparency with the customers is that I initially received my “thank you for buying your Canyon, well keep you updated as it progresses through build and shipping.” It was built at the end of February – dealer told me that. Then the dealer told me it was shipped to St. Louis then lordstown then upstate NY… GM sends me an “update” that “There’s nothing to UPDATE!” I really can’t begin to tell anyone how pissed I am. Dealer says – we’ll know it here when it gets here. I kid- you- not! What a joke.
I have had dealers tell me to keep down the miles on my 2021 Canyon Denali do the trade in value doesn’t decrease. My truck is immaculate and has 37,000 mikes on it. Are another 5,000 miles, or until I can buy a 2023 can’t lower the trade in that much. I’m getting tired of the b.s. these dealers are feeding us.
