  • Whats not to like about the new Canyon? - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    Ordered in Nov. 2003 and it finally arrived in March 2004 but worth the wait. Trading down from an 02 Sierra that ran flawlessly for 95,000 miles in 2 years was a tough decision but with fuel over 2 bucks a gallon and 3 fill- ups a week something had to change. The choice was made easier when I saw pics of the new truck. WOW! 21 MPG with the I-5, plenty of power, holds speed on the mountains here in Northern "Kaaalifornia" (California for the rest of the you)

    I have always been a Ford truck man until I drove the GMC Canyon. It has a lot more interior space and the bed is bigger also. My Ranger had a V6 in it, and dont get me wrong it had plenty of power, but it comes no where close to the in line 5 cylinder. I am very pleased with the power and performance of this truck. Keep up the good work GMC.

  • Perfect Truck For Me - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    I was hooked after one test drive of the Z71 4x4. Rides and drives more like an SUV than a pickup. Little or no body roll around corners, and back end does not skip all around over rough pavement (or off-road) like my old 94 Silverado Z71. GM was right to sacrifice some towing capacity for better ride and handling. Folks who do serious towing and hauling are going to get a full size truck, anyway. This truck will perform any task most people will ever need, and is as comfortable as a car. I may not see the alleged 23 mpg, but I got a respectable (for 4x4) 19mpg on a recent trip at 75+ mph with air conditioning on, and the engine is not yet broken in.

  • Good little truck - 2004 GMC Canyon

    I have only had this truck for a week, but its really fun to drive. I previously owned a 1992 Nissan pickup and I really like the increased space and comfort of the Canyon. I got the basic truck, without any options, and was kind of disappointed at the lack of a couple of features. Since I did not see the specific truck prior to buying it, I was very disappointed that there was no keyed entry on the passenger side (I dont have power locks). This is an inconvenience if I need to load anything on that side. However, in spite of that, I think I will enjoy the Canyon for many years.

  • Awesome truck! - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    Im very happy with my new Canyon. Its a great truck, which really fills a void for GMC, as the Sonoma was just too small, and the full size trucks are too big and hard on gas. Overall, an awesome truck, a real pleasure to drive!!

  • This is a Great Truck - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    So far this truck has exceeded my expectations. Its extremely quiet(no road noise), good gas mileage, the engine is powerful and quiet. Its perfect for what most people need a truck for: like running to Home Depot or Lowes to get needed materials for home projects. Pulling a boat or going hunting, camping etc. Theres plenty of room in the crew cab model. I have two kids and when we go out of town, we load up and go in the truck. Overall, I couldnt be happier with this vehicle. Ive been surprised because I have not seen too many on the road, but I think that will change after word gets out on just how good this truck is.

  • Lives up to GMC quality and performance - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    I opted for the the 3.5l engine and it is awesome. Lots of power. This vehicle has a smooth ride not like some trucks. Researched and test drove all the competitors in this class and liked this one best. Great quality for the price tag. Very satisfied with my choice.

  • Great 3.5 Liter RWD Canyon - 2004 GMC Canyon
    By -

    Great Extended Cab with well designed interior. Very quiet inside and engine is quiet too. Air-Conditioning blows cool! Peppy 3.5 engine without loss of mpg. Bucket seats are very comfortable and adjustable. Extended cab gives plenty of storage room and occasional passenger room. Crisp looking exterior. Solid steering and "safe" feel in crosswinds.
