2018 GMC Canyon SLE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
We bought the SLE in Crew Cab with the 3.6 liter. Pickup is good/ handling is good/highway ride is great/ a load smooths out the ride. Gas mileage averages around 19-20 mpg in mixed city highway driving. Highway mileage on a 16 hour drive averaged around 23-24 mpg at around 75-80 mph. Leg room in the back seat is adequate, but bearable. Control layout is good, electronics are easy to use. Apple care play is quick to logon. Ease of use is good. Sound from the standard radio is ok. Base is good. Visibility is good, headlight power is ok. Ther standard foglights are useless. An upgrade to LID bulbs is a must. Seating is good, not great. Overall a paretty good truck.
Denali not necessarily the best value :

2018 GMC Canyon Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

Denali overrated and overpriced when you consider the options. Very disappointed that my truck did not have the following: Front parking sensors, no homelink, (garage door opener) cross traffic sensors, power mirrors, no signal indicators in mirrors, running boards (standard on Denali) that are cumbersome to use (PIA) , no LED headlights. These are items I expected to be standard on the Denali and they were not. Buy the Canyon one model down and add the options you prefer and save yourself some $. Your paying a lot for the Denali name......jOn a more positive note I do really like the truck. Quite a good ride, good suspension, steering response very good, and the engine has plenty of power. Wish it had a better growl ! Kind of wimpy sounding. Oh, I almost forgot saying....the front collision avoidance system is a joke. It really does NOTHING meaningful to help avoid a collision. My 2017 Infinity QX 80 safety devices put this truck to shame.

Leased a 2018 Canyon Denali and it has been a great truck so far. At 24,000 miles, nothing unusual mechanically and it's hands down the best handling truck I've ever been behind the wheel of. Comfortable interior, handles beautifully and looks great. I have black with black wheels. My only complaints are that the Android Auto can be finicky at times and on a bumpy road the truck is a bit more rattly than I'd prefer but overall, it's not a problem. The backseat is spacious enough for adults to sit in and the heated steering wheel is something I can now never live without. Mine has the 3.6L V6 engine and that is the engine I'd recommend getting. I test drive a 4cyl model and it felt considerably more sluggish, the V6 makes a noticeable difference, particularly on the highway and still gets good MPG for a vehicle in this class.

I love the interior and heated seats! I get a lot of complements on the looks. Haven't had any problems, drives and rides solid and pretty smooth. My only issue would be how the transmission shifts, I think it should be smoother. Plenty of power thou! Great gas mileage avg 18 in town.

I bought the base v6 with tow package to tow my 2500lbs camper. Truck does a great job. 13 mpg under tow and 26 mpg not towing highway. Truck use 1 quart of oil between changes. Transmission torque converter jerked some between gears but dealer installed some type of new fluid that helped it with the problem. The reason for the 5 star rating with these problems is this truck was $7k cheeper than a Tacoma. I've been Toyota for years. This truck also rides, handles and parks better than any I've had over the years. About 20 or so. Seats are great on long trips. Just got back on a 2000 mile camping trip. I love this truck and for $22k would purchase it all over again. The v6 power is unbelievable. Love the 8 speed transmission. Awesome smooth and quiet. I'm a old fart and this is very important to me. thank you GMC For the price and well built truck.Paoamikejohnson
