Not a Yota

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
Great truck and very customizable

Before you read the other reviews read this one. I’ve had this truck since 2007. I’ve taken great care of this truck and she treats me beautiful. The bed is large enough for most jobs and the bed door is sturdy and will hold up. The engine though only 185hp shifts well and the power to weight shows. The engine comes with a fast air intake and can be fitted with a cool air filter to increase power. This truck excelled in light to medium tows and heavy bed work. The inside is simple and can be customized to fit any style. There is room for 2 people super comfortable and 3 can fit a little tight but it’s doable. The lighting is great and options for the lights are super easy to use. This truck has about 100000 miles on it and still feels brand new. Btw as a disclaimer I have the version with less tech and role down windows and it’s perfect for me. I have a buddy with this truck and electronics and is also great. So if you saw some things left out it’s for that reason. But I’m the end I keep this car mind and it performs above and beyond what others think and it holds its own in more then the ways I listed. Anyone who hates on this car never took care of it. I hope this review helped you all.

Performance was based on the fact that it is a truck and a 4cyl. It is not fast or a sports car but for what it is performed great. quicker and holds the rode better then my Tacoma that is newer and has a 6 cyl in it and hasn't ever left me stranded or not start like my Tacoma continues to do.

Got this truck during cash C4C and love it. The cons: Lucky to get 15 miles per gallon in the city. The engine doesn't have a lot of punch starting from zero. Low clearance and not meant for off road if not 4X4. The pros: Great power on the highway. Has real punch once you get over 50. Quiet at high speeds, compared to other trucks. Smooth suspension, great on washboard, bumpy roads. Very comfortable with a lot of room, at least in the front. Great interior; I don't agree that it has too much plastic or seems cheap on the inside. Replaced tiny factory tires and it has a great, classic look now. Note:Toyota and Nissan are now copying big, boxy look of GMC trucks.
I really like it

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...
