Outstanding Truck w Excellent Gas Miles

The GMC Canyon Elevation is one hell of a truck. Outstanding quality with great gas mileage and all around versatility. I have the V6 with 306 hp, plenty enough and then some to pull my camper with a 7000 lb tow capacity. Comfort and style, power and ruggedness all in a lightweight but Outstanding Truck. Highly recommend to all.

I love the canyons. This is my 2nd canyon and have a 2023 on order. The small truck fills my needs as I used to buy full size truck a new one every year

I am one year into my g m c Canyon Evolution Edition and I still hate it. The first car ever had to buy seat cushions and a back cushion. The ride is even more uncomfortable than it was before the cabin noise is awful. And of course that mean that I have to adjust the side view mirrors all the time and there's no way to do that other than rolling down the window . Since there are no Adjusters inside the cabin . I am still having electrical issues now the center console display will disappear and then come back. First trip to mechanic quote "couldn't find anything ' I go back next week. The truck looks good is that is about it. I highly advise anyone to get something else.

2022 Canyon with 2015 technology.

First long trip with 2022 Canyon Elevation package. Ride is good, as is economy. Blind spot monitoring is worthless - one microscopic inset mirror on the driver's side and NOTHING on passenger side. And NO sensors. But it has some obscure setup for trailer braking. And the cruise control is not adaptive. My 2018 Tacoma had that! Disappointing tech for $42K!

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

Stuck throttle in 4 low

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.

GMC Canyon... All That and Much More

I like the simplicity, yet just enough extras to do everything I want. One complaint, putting that damn tool box in that short bed. Dealership would not remove it. I'm 63, female, disabled in my arms. Now what am I gonna do. I couldnt even haul a tree home today

Midsize Crew Cabs NEED MORE LEG ROOM IN REAR SEAT!

I would buy a Canyon in a heartbeat, but I just will not cram my teenage and adult passengers into such a small backseat. Little kids are fine in the backseat, but nobody 5 foot or taller. Please tell the designers to get realistic about making MIDSIZE CREW CABS truly large enough for real people. A little slope in the seat would be nice. They can reduce the truck bed by a foot to increase the Crew Cab knee/foot room and everyone would be happy. Well, to be honest, I would also love to see more leg room width ways between the front seats. A much narrower cup holder and gear shift design would allow the driver to not be so cramped width-wise. I loved everything else in the truck. The dash board was very nice. It looked much better inside than the new Frontier. However, it would be a good idea to add a regular electrical plug in both the backseat and the back bed of the truck

The 2022 GMC Canyon AT4 is a good looking truck. Small in the back and almost worthless. Awful gas mileage driving at 70 is 22 mpg and not geared right in 4x4.
