A Well Built Midsize Pickup

After much research, I decided on the GMC Canyon over a full size pickup. With 1500+ miles on the Canyon, this is my take on the truck. RIDE, a truck like ride that is smooth, firm and quite. HANDLING, confident and comfortable but a bit heavy at times. ENGINE, strong V6, fuel efficient. TRANSMISSION, shifts smoothly and for the most part predicable. On strong acceleration or downshifting the transmission can have a hard shift at times. FUEL ECONOMY, first two tanks over 22.5 MPG (70% Highway) This is a little better than I expected. BUILD QUALITY, very good fit and finish and build quality over all. VALUE, good, the Chevy Colorado would be a better choice for some concerning value.
Dont buy one!

I have had many issues with my 2015 GMC canyon. Bought new in Nov 2015. It's had multiple issues with electronics including power steering dropping out while driving. There was a recall in 2016 for power steering issues but my truck was not covered even though I had the exact same issue. I've had to take this truck to dealerships numerous times for repairs.

Seating and Paint Job

2015 GMC Canyon 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

The vehicle looks nice all around. It doesn't seat well for tall people - I'm 6'4". I've adjusted the seating and still have issues. The top of the seat pushes my upper back forward and causes me to slouch forward after prolonged sitting (greater than 20 minutes); this causes neck pain. Also, there have been 5 (maybe 6) recalls on the vehicle since I bought it in February of 2015. I'm thinking about selling it and getting a truck that doesn't have so many issues with better seats. Update 05/16/17: The truck had more than 8 paint chips around the entire body. After doing some research I learned that GM vehicles (GMC, Chevy, Buick, etc.) have a history of paint chipping issues. Apparently, the primer GM uses is the problem. Regardless, my truck was still under the bumper to bumper warranty and it would have been a prolonged source of frustration and anxiety to get it taken care of to my (the customer) liking. GM only had one representative for my entire state (Maryland) so my situation worse. In December of 2016, I ended up trading in my truck for an F150: I took a hit financially but it was worth it. I won't buy another GM manufactured vehicle again and I will warn the people I know who are considering buying one about paint chipping issues.

Great looking truck but the drive train is AWFUL. The transmission shifts up too quickly and then stays there. If you slow and try to accelerate, it lugs because it is in the wrong gear. GM calls it "normal operation" I call it poor engineering. It upsets me every time I see those "Professional Grade" commercials because I know that they are BS. I filed a lemon law claim in my state and GM wouldn't accept responsibility for the truck's performance. Not worth pursuing on my part. I drove a demo at the dealer and it was exactly the same. That's ok GM. I wonder how many Tacomas this review is going to sell.

My only complaint is that the two cupholders are awkward to reach from the driver's seat. Aside from that rather trivial matter, this is an excellent rig. After six months' use, my complaint about the cupholders is the sole issue. Otherwise this is a really terrific ride.
