My issue with the last gen ZR2 was the lower payload ratings (1,190-1,250 lbs in the non-Bison crew cab), other than that it seems like a great package. The nice thing about the 5G Ranger, and what I hope continues in the 6G, is that you could add the electronic rear locker across multiple trim levels, and keep a higher payload as well (1,478-1,609lbs for 4x4 SuperCrew). I'm not interested in an LSD, and while a front locker would be nice, a rear one is one of my minimum requirements along with a higher payload.
I kind of agree. It does look better than the next gen Ranger, but the drive train is very meh, and it's still keeping the 8 speed transmission. This, and the fact that the next gen ranger still is very handsome, I will still be going for the Ranger.
The Canyons were always the best looking midsize pick up IMO. Wouldnt want a first year but if they roll out the Ranger like the Bronco I would probably consider the canyon.Here is the teaser of the next gen GMC Canyon AT4X that will be revealed Aug 11th. I was expecting it to be a bit more subdued compared to the ZR2, but they didnât hold back. Just wish the 6G Ranger wasnât such a long wait!
It's kind of crazy to think about, but with the every manufacturer coming out with a mid-size truck redesign all around the same time, you would think how important it is to be first to market (albeit not always the best). There's tons of people who are probably going to end up getting the Canyon or Colorado because they simply can't or won't wait anymore.
I almost got an AT4 before I got my Ranger. Didn't like the seats and was concerned about the transmission. But, I am very pleased with my Ranger and think it was a good choice for me.
That's the reveal I've been most interested in and probably my next vehicle. I'd get a Ranger Raptor, but my guess is there will be ADM on those for quite some time, and I refuse to pay ADM. Hell, I refuse to pay MSRP.
I'm guessing the ZR2/AT4x will be under MSRP in the 2nd year.I agree. I almost bought one, but the interior was just too dated for my tastes.
Same, I wanted a GMC Canyon AT4 with the 6 foot bed.
He makes a good point about the weight (4,750-5,300 lb) which similar to the Silverado 1500 with the 2.7L. So don't expect good gas mileage.
