The coronavirus pandemic has forced General Motors to halt production on different vehicle components and push back the release date of new vehicles. Despite postponing the mid-cycle updates of many models, the 2021 GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado are still set to hit dealerships on schedule.

Expected updates for the GM trucks
Vehicles, like the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500, were originally supposed to receive mid-cycle updates for the 2021 model year. However, due to the pandemic, GM is pushing back these updates until the 2022 model year.
Nevertheless, GM still intends to release the GMC Canyon and the Chevy Colorado for the 2021 model year. GM initially intended to completely refresh each truck, but the automaker changed its plans so that now the trucks are receiving a multitude of minor updates.
