I had this pick up back to the dealership Jim Curley GMC 6 times and they still tell me that the transmission problems I've been having are normal. I'm so tired of hearing that.

This truck exceeded my expectations. I was unsure about going from a full-size to a mid-size truck and after driving this truck for a few days I will never go back! The V-6 gives you plenty of power and the transmission has crisp shifts. I have the All-Terrain off-road package which has a surprisingly smooth composed ride. The steering is precise and and handling is top notch! Best of all parking is a breeze!!! The interior materials give a sense of quality and the cabin is well insulated from road noise. GM did their homework when they designed this truck! Let's face it size does matter and the 2015 Canyon is the right size at the right time!
Midsize Truck Worth the Money

I have owned multiple Tacomas, Frontiers and Ridgelines. I like the midsize truck. I decided on the Canyon mainly for improved driving comfort on long trips as well as gas mileage. I have 2,628 miles and my lifetime MPG is 22. That is impressive. The best highway mileage on any of the above trucks was 22. I am getting 22 in mixed driving and have gotten over 25 on the highway. The build quality is solid and I love the 6' 2" bed. The truck is as long as a full size pickup but 6" narrower which makes all the difference in the world when parking. If you compare it to the 80's and 90's trucks it is just as big but 100% better. It does everything I need and nothing I don't.
Good Design But Poor GM Support

Beware of GM Canyon. This vehicle overall gets a 3.5 out of 10 for me. Dealer and manufacturer support is terrible. I will not purchase another GM product for quite some time if ever again. Transmission is very . Location of drive selector (2W,4W) is bad...easy to hit with your knees unless your 4 ft. tall. Muffler sounds like a Toro with a hole in it, but dealer says this is normal. I compared the 2016 Tacoma and 2016 Canyon closely and decided that for my purposes, the Canyon was more comfortable (driver head room and leg room) and used that as my main criteria. The adjustibility of the driver seat is about the only thing I would give good marks for on this vehicle. If I could do it again I would not buy a Canyon... maybe just a 1/2 ton. On the highway the Canyon is pretty responsive and handles fairly well (65-75 MPG power band), but the mileage is substantially lower than stated. My biggest issue is the poor dealer support I got when I had to replace a rear center side glass. Some bonehead tried to break in the truck through the rear slide glass (I guess?... there were no rocks, meteorites, or dead birds present when I returned from grocery shopping, but the center glass was totally knocked out). The response I got was that GM showed the part with a price, but they could not tell me if it was available or not. All third party glass companies said it was only a dealer part. After a 14 days of waiting on the dealer (Ferguson GMC-Tulsa), they still could not tell me when or whether the part would be available. GM needs to have their OEM vendors produce and stock replacement equipment for their vehicles for at least a few years, or until third parties can produce. UPDATE: After 54 days I finally was able to purchase the center sliding rear windows. My only options were to replace the entire for $900+ or put a cheap (non defrost solid piece of glass into it). I will go back to Jap and German vehicles as much as possible. I currently own 6 vehicles between personal and business. You would think that American manufacturers learned their lessons in the 70-80's from Japan, but maybe they just need to be govt. subsidized in order to function at the level of Toyota, Nissan, etc. No mention of "bulletins" by dealer when I purchased it. The transmissions are going to be a big problem in this vehicle... beware. GM will do everything in their power to hide and diffuse the issue... maybe like they did with the 124 deaths related to faulty ignition switches that they knew about and covered up. The Canyon is simply not worth the $$.

Best value for mid size trucks

We have compared all mid size trucks, Frontier, Tacoma, Ridgeline. Frontier is good value, but out dated design and fuel economy. Don't like the ride of Tacoma, and Ridgeline is too new and sell at MSRP. Finally picked the Canyon, which has best ride and interior modern design, we got Crew Cab, SLE with All Terrain and Bose/NAV/Comfort pkgs. Bought it from Laura Buick GMC before labor day holiday with >7k discount, excellent value! After >200 miles, ~23 mpg highway and 17-18 local, about the advertised mpg. We wish it is easier to get in and out, may consider a running board. Updated after one year & 13K miles, still the same as new, like it!!!! Updated after 4 year & 28K miles, still same as new, only regular oil changes.
