  Great first car - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By Cory Sykes - April 1 - 2:51 pm

  It is a very good truck. Very dependable and good on gas for a truck. The only complaint is the driver side door speaker has blown out. other than that it is a very enjoyable truck that surprisingly hasnt gotten stuck in any areas.

  2004 GMC Canyon Extended Cab - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By stan - January 22 - 12:48 pm

  This truck has been dependable. I had to replace a speaker that blown. I have a check engine light that has been on for months, the mechanic said it was something minor an 02 sensor. Braking is excellent but when I stop suddenly it sounds as if its metal to metal.

  Owned lots of vehicles, this one is best - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By A.P. - July 27 - 11:44 pm

  I have had my vehicle since 2004, it is black, 4WD, and extended cab feature. Previously owned the Sonoma, and this truck is a big improvement. I added these features to the truck: 1.) sprayed in bedliner. 2.) alarm system, remote engine start. It has given me no trouble whatsoever, and has stood by my through thick and thin. Gas mileage is very good, has the slant 5 engine, gets 18 miles to gallon in city.

  I got the lemon - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By jcanyon - July 6 - 12:23 am

  Initially, I loved this thing! Over some time, I realized that many small things would add up to make me hate it! The plastic molding is of poor quality, the rear seat cup holder has broken 3 times. Brake light recall sent me to the shop twice. Front turn signal wiring harness only works when bumped in just the right way. Gauges poorly located behind steering wheel. Musty air conditioner. Rear cloth seats that no one sits in have torn in the seams. Rear seats squeak constantly. Rear seats very uncomfortable when used. Computer acts up intermitently - alarm sounds when truck unlocks! Worst is that it is the same exact truck as the Isuzu I-370! Is it a GM or Isuzu?

  GMC Canyon 2004 - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By CentPADon - February 10 - 4:52 pm

  I have owned my GMC Canyon for two and a half years now. Ive found it to be a very reliable vehicle, with great distinctive styling that sets it apart from other offerings. When we take this vehicle on a trip, we average about 24mpg. I opted for the five cylinder, and I havent regretted it a bit. It has a lot of torque. Hauling with a bed full over heavy items is effortless. I get many, many compliments on the exterior styling and what a sharp looking truck it is.

  Still satisfied after 2.5 yrs. - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By Don in PA - January 28 - 4:10 pm

  I remain very satisfied with my GMC. I especially like the distinctive styling that sets it apart from all other trucks currently offered. I receive compliments on a regular basis. Most people assume it is 4-wheel drive with the off road stance. Its been 100% reliable throughout, with more than ample power for everyday driving. Driving with a full load in the bed is effortless. Driving on a rough country road is very smooth and controlled. I like this truck, and would buy another.

  Great Truck - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By Jeff - November 28 - 2:03 pm

  I bought my 04 Canyon used with 10k miles and now I have over 40k. It has great fuel economy and power. The only problem Ive had is the passenger side heated seat was not working. But its all fixed now and I couldnt have asked for a better truck!

  Not that great - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By p burke - October 21 - 8:02 am

  This truck was in the service center for lots of little things. The problem was, I use the truck for work and and it would stay in dealership 2 days. I owned it one and half years it was in for 9 services. Check engine light, head light assembly fogging up, power window stop working, side molding falling off, rough idle, air bag sensors on. But I will say, when it ran, it ran good. It was reliabilty issues that drove me to Toyota. I put trucks to the test I visit 15 homes every day. A new truck should last a least a year without problems.

  04 GMC Canyon Crew Cab 4wd - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By dwnszer - January 28 - 4:13 pm

  Pretty much what I expected. Had only one problem. Front end was aligned wrong which caused premature wear of the front tires at 17500 miles. Dealer replaced tires and realligned quickly. I have the crew cab with four wheel drive. Works good in our snow filled winters. Rides very smoothly gas mileage not as good as I had hoped.

  GMC Canyon review - 2004 GMC Canyon
  By wvu_matt - January 13 - 3:12 pm

  Handling is tight and responsive. I was hesitant with the 15" wheels. I have towed cargo trailers with no problem or lack of power. The 5 cyl is great on gas without losing much power. Only problem was the valve springs. These were replaced around 10k miles. Evidently there was a service bulletin but no official recall. If you lose power at highway speeds--have them check valve springs (I think they fixed that on the newer models). Overall, I would buy it again. Great looking (I have black on black offroad package) and plenty of interior room with crew-cab.
