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.

2016 GMC Canyon SLE 4dr Crew Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

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.

The 2016 GMC Cannon crew cab SLE V6 is without doubt, in my experience,the best value in a truck purchase . I have driven and owned many trucks of different makes and class sizes but this model holds it own to them. It is a little Pricey for that size of vehicle but the bottom line is worth it.

It didn't give the option for the 2.8L diesel but that's what I have and I love it. The mpg is great I usually hover close to 30 mpg.
