It's a truck

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.

The 2.8 Liter Duramax Diesel is so much stronger than the V6 gas engine it is hard to believe. I have owned both. The fuel mileage is 31 hwy / 26 city on my 2016 Canyon. This is a strong little truck.

I got a $29k truck for $22k....

I was looking for a crew cab small truck for around $20k. Unfortunately, these days you don't have many options for $20k. Honda Ridgeline was way over priced, scarce to find a low trim model as most of the left Ridgeline was over $40k, Tacoma was also way over priced and the driving experience was horrible. I was left with a used Frontier which is a great small truck until my local GMC dealer had a couple of left over 2016 over stock Canyons that they knock off $7k. So I got a new $29k Canyon for $22k. For the a low trim, it is nicely equipped like electric seat, back up camera, and OnStar. No complain so far.

Leather seats are VERY UNCOMFORTABLE

Overall pleased with truck even though it was in shop twice in first five weeks. Biggest complaint is the leathet seats are not comfortable driving on long drives. Had a 2016 with cloth seats and did 9100 miles in 3 months, gteat trip. Traded it in for 4x4 drove 2600 miles and had leg circulation problem on several days. These seats are not made for the long drives at all.
