That's the Sierra.
Just make the picture smaller by 20% and it will be the Canyon.

Wow. Look at that.

Why would anyone buy a Ram when that beauty is available?

Unless things have changed DRASTICALLY in the 5 mos since I've been there, the AT4 is going to be pretty damned :flaccid:

It's astonishingly ugly IMO. GM design has completely jumped the shark.

Yea, at most. GM's going to try their best to play it up :doe:

Uglified versions of what are currently handsome trucks.

If the ZR2 is where it was 8 months ago... :gag: :triggered: :popcorn:

Yeah, the new full sizers ain't that good looking.
The GMC 2500 is aight, the Chevrolet 2500 is the butt of jokes.

I think the chebby 2500 in custom trim is the best gm full size truck. If the 1500 had the same fender/door as the 2500 it wouldn't actually be bad looking. I hate the swoopy styling of the 1/2 ton down the side.

I think we already talked about this but what's the difference between AWD and Auto 4wd?

AWD is all the time, Auto 4WD will kick in to 4WD when the computers deem it necessary otherwise it is 2WD.

Right but isn't the way a 4x4 works different than AWD? 4x4 is max torque to all wheels when engaged?

Yep, but Auto 4WD will switch to 4WD on its own. Regular 4x4 systems require you to manually engage the 4WD system to send power to both axles.
All wheels getting power will depend on locker/lsd arrangements per axle.

AWD vehicles have a differential in the center, allowing for different axle speeds as a vehicle goes around a turn.
4x4 vehicles have a geared transfer case without a differential, both axles get the same speed regardless if you're turning or not. As such, on pavement, they can and will bind, or skip the tires around, because they can't speed up or slow down an individual axle.

Auto 4x4 will have a clutched component on the transfer case, where it will engage the clutch if the computers decide its necessary, at which point it will act like a 4x4 with a transfer case, until the clutch opens when the computers think the added traction isn't necessary.

Auto 4x4 would be beneficial over a regular 4x4 system if you live somewhere that has snow and ice to worry about on the roads.

4x4 will also have a locked differential in the front, which won't allow the front tires to rotate at different speeds, which is needed when turning. This is why 4x4 vehicles will skip on dry pavement.

Nein.

Most 4wd vehicles do not have a front locker from the factory. The ZR2 Colorado and Rubicon are two of very few exceptions.

You’re thinking of the variable center diff in AWD vehicles vs the locked transfer case in 4WD vehicles.
:dat: even the highest trim Toyota TURDs don’t have front lockers.

My mistake. You're right.

On another note, for some reason this site decided to block my work's ip.

Perfect. I think you gave this explanation before and I just couldn't find it. Thank you for explaining it again

I haven’t driven one because I would probably be way too tempted to do something stupid.
