I have had the Canyon for just a few weeks now. I purchased the 2016 model year since there was minimal changes to the 2017 model. I wasn't really looking for a diesel, but the more research I did made me realize it was the right choice. Major factor for me was the reduced pricing (was able to buy for 37K + fees) -would not have bought the diesel if it was over 40k. At that price would have gone with the Sierra. Here are the things I really like so far: Parking is so much easier than full size truck, fits in the garage, crew cab has plenty of room for family of 4, fuel mileage, cosmetically pleasing exterior - it actually looks like a smaller version of the Sierra. The leather interior, infotainment system and back up camera are all nice features. I love the purr of the duramax and can't wait to tow something or go up in the mountains. Here are my complaints: drivers seat does not have enough adjustments and not comfortable on longer drives (I bought a cushion at Costco for extra padding) I am average build, so was surprised abought the comfort level of the seating. The cubbies in the doors are completely useless and hard plastic feels cheap.

leaks water into cab, one recall after another , left up to dealer take truck apart and dry out which isn't easy after getting truck back from dealer who had it 11 days still had moisture on inside of window until i bought some humidity control devices for a gun safe and used them for about two weeks to rid truck interior of moisture problems. Paid for four wheel drive truck four wheel has never worked in snow or when you need it, in the shop again, They say third times the charm to fix problem let's hope so

I bought 2016 GMC Canyon transmission unreliable. I don't know what to expect next. Dealer can't fix. General Motors said they didn't know how to fix the problem. They were not concerned if it wasn't safety related. If I had any more problems to "get a lawyer." It is still the most unreliable vehicle I ever owned. I don't know when it will go into it's shakes. Sorry I ever thought about this vehicle. I'm 70 yrs. old and this has to be the worst new vehicle I have ever bought and the worst dealership in Charleston, WV. 2018 Same review as before.

test driving the Canyon Denali this week. I like the truck very much, but couldn't find a comfortable driving position. The power seat is lack of adjustment and the front of the seat is too tall. I decided not to purchase it. Besides that, it's a nice truck. This is a Denali, but the seat is suck.

This is the best truck I have ever driven, exceptionally quiet, plenty of power, handles well in all weather conditions. The only thing I don’t like is the transmission can’t decide what gear it wants to be in when I make a turn and very slowly accelerate, which causes a slight hesitation. All said, I still give it 5 stars.
