Four years now and no issues at all. Still low mileage at 33k. Ride is very comfortable. We took long trip with wife and kids and wife remarked how plush it was. Power is strong for passing and from the start. I’ve no mechanical or quality issues, and like that it’s not tech heavy - less to go wrong. My only wish is for a Tech Upgrade: there’s No adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist (I’ve since come to appreciate not having push button start, since thieves know how to use it). I’ve not had any transmission issues - very good shifting.

I bought this truck with under 8000 miles on the odometer. Now has 22,500. So far, zero issues. I have only owned Mazda, toyota, lexus, infiniti, nissan's and honda's up until now. This has been my son's truck because as a single mom, we needed a truck for the normal homeownership things and towing ability. After driving his truck around the last couple of weeks, I decided I'm trading in my Infiniti SUV for a car for him and I'm driving this truck! All in all it's a great truck! Fuel mileage in town is okay unless I sit and idle letting the engine run, hwy mileage I'm getting 24. The seats are a little stiff, but I believe that to be the AT4 trim. I'm going to get seat covers with some cushion and that should resolve. The truck handles well on snow conditions and off road. The deciding factor for me on keeping this truck vs my infiniti is value. It is holding it's value EXTREMELY well while the QX60 seems to lose value by the day! The truck is also rugged enough for me to feel comfortable to load landscaping items, top soil etc and not worry about messing up the back. I am going to change the headlights to LED, add a Tonneau cover so I can throw bags in the back and add at least a driver's seat cover and this truck is everything I need. A full size truck won't fit in my garage nor would it have the maneuverability of the Canyon. Happy with this purchase

Dash lights not working

These trucks have been rock solid since day one, my 1991 has same motor (3.6), honestly you can't kill them. My 2021 Canyon has some type of electrical problem with the dash lights not working on the sensor or the switch. The dealer had it for a full day, checked all the modules and said every seems to be OK on that end. But lights still don't work properly. I'm wondering if it is the main ground like the issue on the 2001 - 2008.

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.
