55000 mile update

Still love this 2015 truck. My fuel economy on recent 1000 mile trip was about 27 MPG. I live out west so the posted speeds are 75 but traffic is always 80. If I were to do 70 I am sure the MPG would be better. The sound system is great, the road comfort is like a limo, smooth and stable. Visibility from drivers seat is good once you get used to the long bed behind. The Nav system is good but map update expensive. I did not do it and have not had any problems as roads do not change all that much. Had original brakes check before trip. they were still at 75%. There are only two issues I have that I hope GM has done something about. First is the climate control. You have to set the AC at 70 to get any constant temp. If it is hot out and you set it at 69 it will freeze you out so it is a game of up and down one degree to be comfortable. Evidently the cabin sensors are not very good. The second issue for me is the drivers seat. For some reason it is not at all comfortable to sit on for long periods while the passenger seat is perfectly fine. i measured them and they are the same, it must just be the springs or padding. I would buy this truck again.

Switched from a full sized Silverado with no regrets. Although I have only driven it 400 miles, I know it was the right choice. It is comfortable, quiet, and reasonably appointed.The box is a bit narrower (about 6in), but with the 6.2 ft box, you can still haul quite a bit of stuff. The V-6 is strong, but a bit loud when pushed. I got just over 25mpg on the my first extended highway trip driving at speeds of 70-78mph which was quite impressive for me. The pricing is also quite competitive, and you can get a very well equipped truck around 30K, my sweet spot. I will update once I get more miles on the truck if my opinion changes as I get more miles on it. 02/01/17 - After 42,000 miles on my Canyon, I am still in love with it, it has proven to be a great truck and I plan to drive it at least another 40,000 miles before trading it off.

... to the mid size truck market. Have had my 2015 Canyon 4 x 4 SLT about 2 months now. Have used it mostly for city driving other than a 1500 mile trip to Northern CA and Northern NV. Averaged 23.9 during the trip and averaging 20.2 overall. Very comfortable for long trips, smooth ride for a 4 x 4. Controls user friendly, and thank you GM for making a nav system that can be used by a passenger while driving. My RAM 3500 and Jeep GC had nav systems that were unable to use during vehicle movement. Great looking truck and no issues thus far.

I've owned this truck for 6 months and I am very happy with my purchase. I use it as my daily driver because it's comfortable, quiet, has decent gas mileage (21mpg), and also has power when I need it. The exterior looks great and the inside has more than enough room for my wife and 2 kids. I've had no major issues with the truck. So far SO good! Update: 11/15/16... So far SO good!

"Mid-size truck" with big power

Philip Poemoceah, 10/19/2015
2015 GMC Canyon SLE 4dr Crew Cab LB (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
18 of 20 people found this review helpful

Lot's to like about this truck. Comfortable and quiet overall. It has got a lot of towing power and payload capacity with great gas mileage. More city driving than highway but overall 20.7 mpg on regular gas. Good acceleration. Really like the backup camera. The interior does have a lot of hard plastic so change tends to rattle. The seats feel good and firm on long trips and the road and wind noise level is very good (quiet). The problem is that the steering wheel rattles and the dealer has been instructed not to fix it. This is a problem with both the Canyon and Colorado models and is noted in the GMC technical Document ID: 4089969 dated in February 2015 . Very annoying with the quiet interior. Other small interior problems were fixed by the dealer but this one instructs them to wait until GMC defines a fix. A bad mark on an otherwise nice truck.

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 $$.

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.

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.

Seating and Paint Job

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.

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.

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.

I bought my 2015 GMC Canyon, ext cab WT in Nov ’15 with only 600 miles on the clock. Even though it is the WT version it’s the upgraded version with power windows, locks, remote, air and the V6 complete with the tow package capable of towing 7,000 lbs. The 2nd Gen truck looks awesome and great looking inside and out but that’s where it ends. I’ll admit that the engine is very powerful but the transmission and computer is the weakest link. It’s not a pleasure to drive. Example: driving on the highway, anything between 55 up to 70 and then needing to slow down and then pick back up on speed it starts to chug and surge like it’s struggling for the gear or running out of gas. It does the same thing when trying to climb a hill or going around a corner. I’ve had it into the dealership three times, had the computer upgraded and talked with them several times on the phone but they still don’t have a fix. I would have gladly exchange the 22+ MPG for 17 or 18 MPG to have it shift right. I would not recommend this truck. As of today of writing this, it only has 10,000 miles on it and I’m still not happy so I’m trading it in for a Jeep G.C. This was my first GMC and I was very disappointed and will never get another GMC again. 06.30.2021 No change, will still not buy another GMC. Bought a Tacoma 2 years ago and LOVE it. Plan on keeping till 500k miles are on the clock! June 2022, still no feedback or word from GMC. Talked to other's at the gas pump once in awhile and they say they have the same issues. Still think GMC is junk and don't care about their customers, only spit out more trucks for new suckers.

Not bad but could be better

I have had my 2015 Canyon for over 2 years and just crossed over the 60,000 mile threshold. Overall I like the truck: good gas mileage for a 6-cylinder truck, handles well, brakes work very well, and no major maintenance issues. The main issue I have with the truck has to do with the technology, namely the navigation system and the entertainment system. First the navigation system. I won't say it's completely useless, but with the so-called "voice control", it's pretty close to useless. I've tried everything to get the voice recognition system to work more than occasionally but to no avail. And, no, I do not have an accent. Yes, I do speak slowly and clearly. Still, it hardly works. This is an added problem since the manual destination choices available on the touch screen are limited to a single page while the vehicle is moving. This is supposedly a safety feature. Interesting, since I can scroll through pages of station choices on the Sirius XM menu with no problem. Apparently, finding "Beatles Radio" or a particular NFL game while hurtling down the highway at 70 MPH is safe, but trying to find a destination while moving is not? And the biggest gripe on the NAV system is the updates. GM wants you to shell out over $100 to get updated maps. My portable Garmin offered lifetime updates for the cost of the unit. C'mon GM...seriously? If someone drops $35,000+ on a vehicle it doesn't seem unreasonable to include map updates with the cost of the vehicle. Second there is the menu to "save" favorites. It's set up on 3 pages....smaller icons on one page would be preferable, especially given the concern for "safety" on the aforementioned navigation system. Just not very user friendly.

I had been waiting for 6 months to see this truck. I had a 2007 Chevy Colorado and I hated it. But with all the hype I needed to see the new Canyon before I committed to any other truck and I am so glad I did. It is the most comfortable truck that I have ever driven. It is easy to maneuver and it does everything that I would expect out of a luxury truck ( and I do not even have all the bells and whistles. ) I took it on a long trip and there was never a time that I was uncomfortable. I love this truck and hope they only get better although I do not how it could.

Did I just get lucky?

I am writing this review for one simple reason; I think the 2015 GMC Canyon has been unfairly characterized as having poor reliability for too long. First, let's deal with the recalls. My truck, which I factory ordered, has been subject to numerous recalls, none of which required more than visual inspection by the dealer except a couple. I did have the steering wheel replaced under warranty because it often made a clicking noise while under way and I noticed quite several other owners were having the same issue. Replacing it solved the problem. There were two recalls involving the airbags, as I remember, and required actual replacement of at least one of them. Remember, however, that Takata airbags were a much larger issue than just these vehicles, although I don't think the GMC recalls for these airbags were related to flying shrapnel. Finally, GM issued a recall that required the dealer to replace a steering component that is designed to solve the potential of failed power assist, though I had never experienced any similar problem. Frankly, I expected some recalls from a first year, totally new model, so I was prepared for that. Obviously, most buyers would NOT be and that is fully understandable. Out of the roughly 65 vehicles I've owned, only three, including this truck, were brand new, and this one was the only one that required so many recalls. Incidentally, this truck was produced with the six speed automatic that so many owners complained about. The problem was that the programming for the transmission was designed to make it upshift as soon as the engine could handle it so that it was always in the highest possible gear. It was also reluctant to downshift even when pressing on the accelerator and when it did downshift, it would sometimes skip a gear or two causing the truck to leap forward at a high RPM. This lead to all sorts of drivability issues, obviously. My guess is that GM programmed it that way to maximize fuel economy and raise the fleet average so they could sell more less economical vehicles. Fortunately, after too long a time, GM released an updated "map" or program to the dealers that let them cure most of these problems. I had my truck updated and now it up and downshifts as you'd expect a proper automatic to shift. I have had no drivability issues since then. So, those are the issues I've had, but I am aware that other buyers have had problems with the A/C system, infotainment system and, I have read, even the engine. I have had no problems at all with anything other than those items already mentioned. Keep in mind that the V6 engine was used across a broad section of GM's fleet and has a reputation for outstanding dependability and service. It is smooth, powerful and economical to operate. Also, keep in mind that the 2015 Canyon and Colorado paired that engine with a six speed auto and not the eight speed that was introduced later and suffered some serious issues. Now a little more about my particular truck. It is now more than 7 1/2 years old, has always been garaged, never really used as a truck (except when I use it to put my 7,500 pound boat in and out of the water near my house) and has never been subjected to snow and ice. It currently has just less than 15K miles. So, I will be the first to admit that it has had an easy life so far and that has, no doubt, contributed to my satisfaction with it. It is a loaded SLT extended cab with everything on the list of options except the driver assist which was too unsophisticated, in my opinion, to justify the extra expense. You can no longer even order an extended cab in the top of the line (now Denali) trim. It is a perfect size to park easily, but still matches most SUVs for size and still fit in the garage. I drive a total of five vehicles, including a Lexus LS and a Shelby Mustang. This truck drives straighter and truer than any of them and as a result, is actually less tiring to drive on long trips than the other four. That's in spite of the driver's seat which is literally about 9/10ths the size it should be and a bit too firm to suit me. This has been a common complaint from other owners. Still, it remains a great long distance driver. The interior looks great, even slightly luxurious, but it is not as well done as its GMC name would imply. Some owners have complained that the driver's seat cover has split prematurely. Mine is still like new. The extended cab has two small rear seats that would accommodate, at best, small children and I would have deleted them when ordering if I could have. And I have noticed that the extra two rear doors can rattle a bit on a bumpy surface, but you notice interior noises in this truck because it is surprisingly quiet for a truck. And, yes, unloaded it rides a bit like a truck thanks to leaf springs in the back. Put a bit of a load in the bed or while highway driving, it is extremely comfortable and confident. My Shelby's overall ride is much harsher. So, I hope this review helps set the record straight. The 2015 Canyon, in my experience, is not a bad choice if you get one that has had all the recalls addressed. It is, arguably, the best looking mid sized truck to date, is actually fun to drive, easy to live with and gets reasonable gas mileage. I plan to keep mine as long as ICE vehicles are practical. I think that'll give me another 15 or 20 years. Note: This review is for an SLT extended cab LB with a V6 and 6-speed auto. I was unable to select this configuration when writing this review.

Good years in a Canyon

For the most part it was a very good vehicle. A few recalls early but hassle free. It was the first year. Bluetooth connection was slow and sometimes not at all. The transmission did not downshift properly. If I slowed down for curve, you had the step on it to get to the lower gear. I got used it. The engine was and handling was great. The thing it lacked was safety and convenience. It did not have 360 coverage and only a backup camera. It was lacking blind spot detection. I really missed keyless ignition. Plus a few other things. I thought 2019 Canyon would have some of these things. However, they have not kept up with the competition. Therefore, I went to another vender. General Motors needs to realize that there are lot of folks that want a mid-sized pick-ups with all the comforts and safety features of a nice car.

Really like the long bed. MPG is great. Not so comfortable seating. Noisy and sluggish engine. Had break issues at 15k fuel system issues at 30k.

2015 GMC Canyon

I purchased a base model GMC Canyon extended cab truck in 2015. I just sold the truck and purchased a 2020 Honda Ridgeline truck. The Canyon was a great daily driver and was still going strong when I sold the truck at 114,381 miles. I would suggest getting the 4 door if you do need more storage room in the back. Also, I would buy the 6 cylinder. The Canyon just seemed to be too heavy for the 4 cylinder. The automatic transmission can be somewhat erratic. This truck served me well, but it was just time to get another truck.

A pretty good truck

The truck is a little sluggish with the 200 HP inline 4 cylinder. It does tow 2500 pounds very well. The interior has held up well. Mechanically it has been sound.

Great truck even though I just turned over 25,000. I have enjoyed everyone of them.
