Exterior

While there's lots of news about the upcoming redesigned Chevy Colorado, the Canyon hasn't strayed from its current platform. The Canyon's exterior still offers more chrome and tasteful accents that distinguish this truck as a premium offering. As of publication, there's no word whether the 2013 Canyon will share the new Colorado's platform, but it's probable, and GMC will likely add additional trim and accents. Exterior features include:

Two-position tailgate Sixteen-, 17- or 18-inch wheels
