Great truck

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.

Our teenage son is driving this truck as well as us, his parents; thus we opted for the 4-cylinder engine. The truck is fun to drive and has a very nice back-up camera, which is important to us. The entertainment (bluetooth, stereo, etc.) is very good. The brakes are very responsive. We've had the truck less than a month and have already taken a road trip with it, and it served us beautifully. So far, I can happily recommend this vehicle.

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.

Wanted a SLT CC LB 2WD. Unfortunately for some reason the two local dealers decided that anyone wanting a LB would get it in white and the cloth seats of a SLE trim. A 6' bed isn't what I would call a long bed but definitely better than a 5' bed. Again only in white so that was that and ended up with a SB. Ride isn't the greatest but will wait till 5K miles when everything is broken in before upgrading to Bilsteins and those brake pads need to go as I can't be rinsing down the rims everytime I drive the truck due to that black residual dust. For me I just wanted out of a full sized truck and didn't care for the Toyota leaving the only other options a Canyon or a Colorado. At 8000 miles I changed the shocks to Bilstein HD all around. This didnt help the ride as much as I had hoped to. Rides horribly on our expansion jointed freeways. So I finally decided to dump the truck for a new 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Rides great but not really a truck but hey something for something until my next truck.
