  OK truck that misses the mark - 2016 GMC Canyon
  By Kevin - April 27 - 4:02 am

  Overall this truck gets kudos for good ride quality and low noise levels. However, the 2.5L 4Cyl. doesnt belong in this vehicle. The gas mileage is horrible. I have averages just a tick over 19MPG in 18K miles of driving. Ive owned full size trucks with V-8 motors that deliver almost the same economy. In the city, this truck barely delivers 17. There is a persistent sound of rushing water near the heater core when the truck is cold, a problem GM cannot fix. The transmission hunts for gears at the slightest incline on the highway. The transmission will slip from 3rd to 4th gear on occasion and it gets confused when driving in traffic and will make abrupt downshifts. The steering wanders and the truck veers at the slightest inputs on the highway. The light switch and 4wd drive switch are located out of view and are blocked by the steering wheel. The cruise control light is in the area between 65-75 MPH on the speedometer and gets blocked by the needle. The radio display goes dark sometimes for no reason and other times shows a distracted driving warning at random. The On Star system randomly tells me the car is equipped with On Star. The engine stumbles at idle like it has a misfire. The rear seats are utterly useless, they should have at least put a bench seat in the rear so you can sit sideways. The truck is equipped with a power seat, auto headlights, bluetooth, power window/locks, rear defrost, cruise, back up camera, etc. but GM in their brilliancy doesnt offer power mirrors with this package and they continually wiggle out of adjustment. Yes, thats a lot of complaining. I will say, it offers a much better ride than a Tacoma but there are too many bugs in this car to consider it again, especially with a $32,000 sticker price.

  Base Model Canyon 4X4 Extended Cab 6cyl 300+HP - 2016 GMC Canyon
  By Chuck - March 20 - 7:51 pm

  What a great little truck! The interior is excellent and the exterior is stylish! I ordered the Base Model with vinyl seats (no extra charge) V-6 and 4WD. I also have the basic radio and no carpeting. Its a truck! It hauls, pulls and handles great on or off road. Great value if you stick to the basics! No on star, no computer screen, no crappy cloth seats and no carpet. If you are looking for a TRUCK, build your own using the GMC build your own tool. Youll be surprised what the base model has to offer! 2 YRS free maintenance + 5 YR / 100,000 MI extended warranty. All of this for UNDER $30,000! Compare with Tacoma, Frontier and Colorado, the Canyon has way more options and is not over priced.

  Good small truck - 2016 GMC Canyon
  By Marcin Filip - October 9 - 12:27 pm

  Great small truck. 2.8 diesel is something to consider. 3.6 v6 is a bit sluggish, v6 is designed for a car not a truck.

  Great mid sized pickup with a more formal design - 2016 GMC Canyon
  By Bob - July 2 - 4:40 am

  Ive had my GMC Canyon almost 2 months and so far I am very happy with it. I start out with the Cons; at higher road speeds wind noise develops around the front windshield. However below 60mph the cab remains very quiet. Speech recognition for the navigation addresses runs about 60%, manual entry is needed more often then it should be. Otherwise this thing is great. Im getting older and the backup camera / assistance really helps me not have to crank my neck around constantly when I backup. The truck maintains its stable feel when pulling my pontoon boat. The interior is great and innovative; the rear seats fold down forming additional storage in the rear; we actually use it for a nice space for our dog when we go anywhere. If youre an older guy like me youll like the more refined, formal look of the interior. Overall I am very satisfied with this truck; my wife enjoys driving it also.

  Its a truck - 2016 GMC Canyon
  By Dean Kano - February 7 - 1:52 am

  Wanted a SLT CC LB 2WD. Unfortunately for some reason the two local dealers decided that anyone wanting a LB would get it in white and the cloth seats of a SLE trim. A 6 bed isnt what I would call a long bed but definitely better than a 5 bed. Again only in white so that was that and ended up with a SB. Ride isnt the greatest but will wait till 5K miles when everything is broken in before upgrading to Bilsteins and those brake pads need to go as I cant be rinsing down the rims everytime I drive the truck due to that black residual dust. For me I just wanted out of a full sized truck and didnt care for the Toyota leaving the only other options a Canyon or a Colorado.
