I have always had a truck. However, as I have aged my needs have changed. My Canyon is the perfect size for me now and still offers many benefits of the Fullsize pickups. View of the road is a huge benefit for me. Ability to haul home improvement items and pull a utility trailer are important as well. Midsize comes at a lower vehicle cost and better fuel economy, but still offer interior space, 4 wheel drive and easy handling.

Have owned vehicle for 113 days. It has been in the shop for 36 of those days!! Non-stop electrical issues! The center console is a complete nightmare! Volume will randomly max out and you can’t turn it off! Only way to get it to stop is by turning the vehicle off, you can’t do that on a highway. The center console also constantly restarts and if you happen to have your phone plugged in it can hard freeze your phone. Also reported transmission issues with hard shifts and clangs and gmc’s response was it just does that! Customer service is also a nightmare, they tell you they will call back in 24-48 hours, your lucky to get a call back in 2 weeks. I am currently in the buyback process they never respond and refuse to provide a rental car when they work on my car. (Btw I payed for extended warranty and rental protection). I will posting all videos of the truck messing up for proof of my complaints. Just don’t buy this truck! Get anything else and avoid gmc in general!

This truck was more expensive than a Tacoma and lacks many of it's features. Has more repair bills and problems gas mileage is poor, transmission clunks and shakes around town ride is terrible so sorry I bought it, and can't wait till I can afford to get rid of it. Don't buy you will be disappointed like me.

Nice truck rides very good. The wife loves it too. What I like is it's a true mid-size , not a little tin can.

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.
