SLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
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 $$.

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.

The navigation is clunky, but when that is the only possible con of a truck purchase... you have to just smile.

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.
