Spied: These 2023 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Prototypes Are Caught on the Highway

What’s hiding under all the camo?

Check out these images of what appears to be the upcoming 2023 Chevy Colorado and 2023 GMC Canyon prototype pickup trucks. Huge thanks to @bigdave… on Instagram for sending these to us. Why do we think these are the new Colorado and Canyon trucks? They are heavily camouflaged, the side mirrors are mounted inside the a-pillar, and they look a little smaller than the Silverado and Sierra prototypes that are driving in a convoy with them.

Several of these prototypes have different wheel styles and sizes. Some of the smaller blacked-out wheels may belong to the Colorado prototypes, the larger polished wheels may belong to the GMC Canyon prototypes (perhaps even a Canyon AT4 prototype).

The rumor has it that GM will simplify the Colorado and Canyon powertrain offering to just one engine. It will most likely be the 2.7-liter turbocharged I4 that may be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. GM just announced that they upgraded the 2.7-liter Turbo to 310 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. If the smaller trucks are using the same power rating – it would make them very quick midsize trucks and the most amount of available torque (outside of the diesel-powered Jeep Gladiator).

Here is another look at the upcoming 2023 Chevy Colorado prototype from a different location.
