2007 GMC Canyon SL 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (2.9L 4cyl 5M)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Always owned Toyota's bought this because it was cheap, and had a lot of power out of the 4 cylinder. Motor is weak, unless heavily gouged. A lot of cheap features inside, check engine light comes on all the time, cheap plastic bumper cracked and fell off. Seat in uncomfortable at best. Lot of cab room but the cheap interior kinds of kills that
I really like it

2007 GMC Canyon SLE 4dr Extended Cab SB (2.9L 4cyl 5M)

Yeah, I'll admit I wanted a Tacoma xtra-cab, but, I bought an American truck with more features, and at a better price. Yes, the fit and finish is not the same as Toyota, but it is close. My only complaint is freeway wind rush coming from the drivers side 1/2 door (which isnt much). If you have the sunroof (which I think is pretty cool, no one else has it...) you need a wind deflector. Yes, the interior is simple, but I didnt think it was cheap looking. The factory 6 disc player cranks pretty good too. The 2.9l! is the best 4 cyl I ever sat behind, and it gets damn decent mileage. $8000 less than a Tacoma! I have enough left over to buy a new Titus Mtn. Bike...

The day I picked it up the head lights would not shut off and brake pedal went almost to the floor. the Dealer fixed the head lights and was told the brakes were ok they are all like that. Back to the dealer for wipers that turned on by their self and low tire light coming on for on reason. Took vehicle to a none dealer service station were they trued the rear drums and solved the brake problem.

I have owned this truck for 10 years ! In that ten years I have put only 48k miles on it. the following has happen in that 10 years: factory tire blow out requiring rear fender replace, 2 times the wiring for the heater/AC blower burned up, 3 times the brake light switch had to be replaced, the third brake light leaked and my cabin flooded requiring cabin to be gutted and dried out for 2 weeks, had to have 2 tire air senors replaced, freash air cabin air on heater/AC stop working, window washer pump stop working, windshield molding and inside door panel cracking from sun, and now the big money items have started! My ABS went out and needed the whole left front wheel hub assby. replaced!!! I have owned GM's since 1974 and have watch them get worse the whole time. This 2007 GMC Canyon SLE is the last GM made car or truck I will buy !!!! Keith A. Marsh Slidell LA.

Good truck but very basic. Drive daily commute to work of 60 miles round-trip. Comfort is minimal compared to Ford Sport-Trac. Wide stance gives stable ride but very noisy inside. Needs better sound- proofing and door gaskets. Hard to see ignition key due to big steering wheel center. Hard to find and connect to the power outlets beneath the dash. Needs interior storage behind seats and read seat headrests block vision out back window.
