With regard to our trucks, the exterior styling between the two lines is quite different. It is an easy way to appeal to more buyers with a minimum of additional expense. Being a cranky old man, I prefer the Canyon's boxier styling

Being in the same boat in regard to age... I always thought the 2015 -2019 Colorado was smiling at me. They opened up the bottom of the grill in 2020 which makes it look more like a real truck. Certainly prefer the Canyon for that reason... looks like a tough truck instead of a reworked Equinox.

WW II jeeps didn’t have ignition cylinders (or keys). Switch on the ignition and push the starter button.

That's not unique to WW2 jeeps, as most military vehicles and trucks don't have keys.

I've always thought it was CHEVROLET - PONTIAC - OLDSMOBILE - BUICK - CADILLAC(top end)

It was for cars. GMC didn't start sharing its truck platforms with Chevy until 1920.

When I was desperatly searching for a replacement for my '07 Colorado EC, I queried both the Colorado and Canyon. Either one was scarce in the area. When a listing for a Canyon popped up, most of the time (I learned later) it would sy 'Denali', or some other designation for the trim level. I assumed it was a glitch in my browser, so I bypassed those postings. Now that I know that those were CANYONs and not full-sized p/us, I wonder if I would have ended up getting the 2020 Colorado CCLT that I have now? This search was done in early 2023, I had no desire for the third generation (too many bugs to be worked out in the first iteration-if I only knew HOW bad-, and used vehicles, especially mid-sided trucks were considerably scarcer, and thereby more expensive. I sometimes wonder what the differences is fit-and-finish would have been between the two brands, had I realised the ads were indeed for GMC Canyons.

Fit and finish would be the same, as they are built on the same assembly line. Certain Canyons have nicer interior trim but that is about the only difference

I'm with you as I will wait another year for the 3rd gen to be out. but then we will have to pay for subscriptions for the radio and heated seats and steering wheel to work

At least with half-tons, ford claims the f150 is the best selling, but if GMC + Chevy halfton sales were aggregated, that would not be the case
