  • Best little big truck around - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    It didnt give the option for the 2.8L diesel but thats what I have and I love it. The mpg is great I usually hover close to 30 mpg.

  • Duramax is the way to go - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    I have had the Canyon for just a few weeks now. I purchased the 2016 model year since there was minimal changes to the 2017 model. I wasnt really looking for a diesel, but the more research I did made me realize it was the right choice. Major factor for me was the reduced pricing (was able to buy for 37K + fees) -would not have bought the diesel if it was over 40k. At that price would have gone with the Sierra. Here are the things I really like so far: Parking is so much easier than full size truck, fits in the garage, crew cab has plenty of room for family of 4, fuel mileage, cosmetically pleasing exterior - it actually looks like a smaller version of the Sierra. The leather interior, infotainment system and back up camera are all nice features. I love the purr of the duramax and cant wait to tow something or go up in the mountains. Here are my complaints: drivers seat does not have enough adjustments and not comfortable on longer drives (I bought a cushion at Costco for extra padding) I am average build, so was surprised abought the comfort level of the seating. The cubbies in the doors are completely useless and hard plastic feels cheap.

  • Sporty good-Looking Truck - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    Our teenage son is driving this truck as well as us, his parents; thus we opted for the 4-cylinder engine. The truck is fun to drive and has a very nice back-up camera, which is important to us. The entertainment (bluetooth, stereo, etc.) is very good. The brakes are very responsive. Weve had the truck less than a month and have already taken a road trip with it, and it served us beautifully. So far, I can happily recommend this vehicle.

  • 100% Satisfied Customer - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    I researched all mid-size trucks for two years before finally deciding to buy the 2016 GMC Canyon SLT. Overall exterior and interior styling, comfort, performance, technology and cost were my main deciding factors. This truck definitely meets my daily needs and I am completely satisfied!

  • Most comfottable velicle Ive ever owned! - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    2016 Models do not have a CD/MP3 player. I listen to a lot of books on CD. Now I have to convert to a thumb drive to listen. However, that is not to say that I dont love this truck. I travel extensively on business and hate airports - so...if its less that 12 hours, I drive. Ive owned Ford Tauruses in the past and I always thought they were a comfortable ride, until the Canyon. No fatigue, and I could drive it a long way without having a sore butt! Even my wife says it is more comfortable than her 2015 Buick Enclave! Im sold on this truck, even though I had wished that Ford had a mid-size! Fords loss!

  • 2.8l Diesel- sweet! - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    I just got this puppy a month ago and its been a great drive so far. Got the hard to get 2.8l diesel at a fantastic price and then got up sold the extended warranty which Im not so sure I need .. Did it because the 2.8l diesel is new in the USA ( tho not new in Asia apparently).. Truck accelerates good enough for highway but does even better passing over 50 because of torque . Going up hill the truck doesnt sweat it. Gas mileage is great which really hooked me. But we will see how diesel prices out Ive the years and whether it was a good decision vs getting the regular gas v6 .. Slt vs Denali? I say save your money and stick with the slt..

  • Powerful - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    The 2.8 Liter Duramax Diesel is so much stronger than the V6 gas engine it is hard to believe. I have owned both. The fuel mileage is 31 hwy / 26 city on my 2016 Canyon. This is a strong little truck.

  • Great mid size truck - 2016 GMC Canyon
    By -

    Great ride ,very quiet cabin, good fuel economy for a truck, 6 cylinder has plenty of power. A pleasure to drive, you would not think you were driving a truck. A lot of tech features if you like that kind of stuff.
