I have approx. 500 miles on my 2021 GMC Canyon Elevation Std and I love it. I got the Dynamic Blue with black wheels, installed GMC black side steps and a spray in bed liner. It turns heads where ever I go. I Have ordered a tonneau cover and a black front grill guard. I also have the v-6 and tow pkg. It's a great truck, performance and looks all in one

When the truck is in 4 low and transmission locked in 1st gear the throttle will stick between 1700-2200 rpm’s. That is with my truck and two others I test drove.

I have had my 2020 GMC Canyon into the dealership multiple times to get repaired for clunking and chattering which you feel through your seat while ordinary driving down the road. The first time in they said not much they can do and will wait on a firmware update which should fix the issue. Second time in they said they found a bulletin describing this issue and GMC recommended changing to a heavy weight oil be added to the Torque converter this didn’t fix the problem. Now I’m bringing it back in for a third time hopefully they will take this issue more seriously and fix this problem for good, if not I’m going to demand GMC to look into this major defect in their Canyon trucks.
