I love this truck. It doesn't ride as well as a full size but is still much better than the Tacoma or Frontier.

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 it's metal to metal.

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?

Vehicle used mainly for city delivery. Fuel economy 23 mpg on route. Has manual shift which is ok, but no 'vette. Handles 3000 lb trailer ok when called on. I'd give it "considerly above average" over all.

I have to say that the 2004 GMC Canyon is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have had the full sized Jimmy and the smaller Sonoma, but they don't even come close. Its very reliable ( only a quickly fixed battery light ) and drives like a dream. The XM Radio and stereo system are fantastic additions. I can blast out a song or calmly listen to an instrumental one without outside noise interference. The Inline 5 Vortec engine is smooth and does have power. The look of the vehicle from the front has gotten lots of favorable comments and I cant tell you how many times people have stopped in a parking lot to look at it.
