Both packages are overkill for my use. Probably can’t lose with either, but lean toward the GMC. Not a fan of the AT4x first release interior colors. Was leaning toward a AT4 or Denali but probably gonna go Tacoma if I go midsize.

GMC for two reasons - Multimatic shocks and the ability to lock both the front and rear diffs.
It is basically a grown up version of my Colorado ZR2 and can attest that the multimatic shocks are like magic and the ability to lock both diffs has bailed me out a few times. |

It's technically not, they are pretty much the same price.

Also worth considering:

Same price, so pick your poison.
Hartford has all the points covered above. As much as I hate to admit it, I think the Ranger Raptor might be the slightly better off-road truck, and it's going to have considerably more power. But to my eyes, I just think the Ranger styling is just....not great. lol. I like the Canyon, and I love it's interior. Not a fan of those wheels on the AT4X though...I'd have to swap them. I'm hoping to own a 3rd gen Canyon sometime in the near-ish future, but it's not in my cards just yet. Side note: When it comes to Ranger Raptor versus the Colorado ZR2, I think the ZR2 is the clear winner simply because of it's big price difference alone.

Is the Ranger Raptor even out yet? I don't think it's been released. Or even the next gen trucks?

Looking hard at the Ranger Raptor, ZR2 and Taco TRD OR, the taco because it offers an actual 6' bed, even though it's not quite as fast as the other two. ZR2 looks to be a pretty decent value though compared to the RR and the smaller bed *will* work, just not as easily for what I want.
