So I'll withhold full judgement until I see other Ranger trims. That said, I don't expect it to look much different than the already revealed global Ranger, and that one...while it looks OK...does nothing for me and the interior is not even close to the Colorado and Canyon. We'll see if the U.S. spec Ranger interior is any better.

It will likely have a long bed which will be enough to win over some buyers. I'm sure a hybrid is in the cards, but I don't think that one is coming for a few more years.

EDIT: Well...the article says they believe this is a Lariat trim, so not base. Well that makes it even worse for the Ranger.

What makes you say "likely have a long bed" other than the 2 mules with long beds that have been seen? Curious if i've missed anything haha

Pretty much just that lol. I can't imagine we'd see test trucks with a long bed, and then there not be a long bed. Maybe so.

Right, there have been zero GM long bed mules seen out testing.

The current Ranger honestly looks better.

Well, yeah. If it's the WT listed in your sig then of course it has hard plastics.

My Z71 is hard plastics as well. It's durable. It's a truck. I'm not often feeling up the dash so I don't care, but some folks seem to for whatever reason.

2023 Colorado and Canyon now appear on GM Employee & Supplier lists as applicable for the discounts

HartfordRacingCaptain · 01-23-2023, 09:16 AM

Colorado finally appeared on the Chevrolet Accessories page; I have been checking every day. https://accessories.chevrolet.com/se...dyNumDoorsId=5

Weird - the cargo tie-down rings as a factory option is $120, but from the accesories site is $100..

Thanks for posting.

I see the Canyon accessories page lists the 2023 model now as well, and I'm happy to see that they are offering black GMC emblems which is something that has been missing from the build and price page.

Ah I have the opposite problem with the Colorado - the red seat belts are on the B&P but not on the Supplier Discount site. Only $50 so won't really have any impact, but still.

I also noticed neither of the tonneaus are on the accessory site. Must be holding back to ensure factory assembly is unimpacted. I'm sure it'll pop up eventually.

Factory option is an LPO which has dealership installation built into the retail price.
