Being my 52nd vehicle and first GMC, I can say without a doubt the build quality, quietness,driveability and overall awesomeness is top notch. The people that come up to me and ask about it is crazy, full size truck guys, Tacoma guys, and other small truck owners are all very curious about my at4. Yes I know that people complain about the headlight button not being physical but two things about that, they put a "cheat button" on top of the touchscreen that you can hit and see all light options and two, in the millions of miles I've driven and all the years and vehicles I've had since they've added the auto light button I may have turned my actual lights on maybe half a dozen times. So once they're set to auto I don't ever really ever think about it. Other than that, it rides like an SUV, and is as quiet as one too. There's really not much to love. I don't really care about gas mileage as it is a truck and if I wanted something with great gas mileage I'd have bought a small sedan. But I will say by running premium in it I have been averaging 23mpg so it's not terrible. I love the look of the 2024 TRD Pro Tacoma coming out but do not care for the look of any of the lower model 2024 tacomas. That being said this is a solid buy. At 310hp and as much torque as the outgoing diesel it has plenty of power, can tow 7700 lbs.

Quite, comfortable,powerful and a joy to drive. I bought the AT-4. Realize this is not a full sized pickup and you will be VERY happy with the purchase. Best thing I have driven in forever

I love love love my GMC Canyon AT4. I had a Ram 1500 Laramie which I really loved. It was just too big so I wanted a midsize truck which Ram did not offer. After looking at the Ford Ranger and the Toyota Tacoma I decided to go with the Gmc Canyon. Definitely no regret. The more I drive it the more I love it. I have driven it over 2000 miles in 6 weeks and not one ounce of trouble.

I've always been a full size truck guy. I've owned nothing but 1500 Silverados or Sierras my entire life. I have a 2012 Silverado 2500HD extended cab I use for work, it rides and handles so rough at higher speeds it wasn't a fun drive to load the kids up and go anywhere that wasn't within 20 minutes of the house (not to mention limited space and getting about 10mpg). I've always liked the look of the canyon and considered getting one so I could have room for wife & kids and not have to remove all my work tools from my truck everytime I needed to load them up. When GMC came out with the new style of the canyon, I knew immediately that's what I wanted. In my opinion it's the best looking mid size truck on the road. I bought the AT4 with trailer package. People are always coming up to me complimenting me on it, and asking questions. It rides better & quieter than any truck I've ever owned, even better than my wifes 2021 grand cherokee. It also has more interior room than my other truck, though the silverado was an extended cab the passenger had to slide their seat almost all the way forward due to the car seat for my toddler in the back. On my new canyon, the front passengers don't even have to adjust the seat when they get in due to the carseat in the back. The interior has plenty of room. My wife and I recently drove it to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee for our anniversary (about 600 miles) and it operated flawlessly with plenty of power. Alot people feel it should get better fuel mileage for a midsize truck, but for me 18-21 mpg is twice what my 2500HD was getting and was a non-issue for me. The only issue I've had is my phone wouldnt connect on the 2nd day after I got it. Turned out to be an upgrade issue that my truck hadn't received yet due to it being parked in the garage. One I backed it out of the garage, the radio upgraded the software and I've had zero issues since. I'm at 8,000 miles and couldn't be happier with this truck so far.

Extremely Disappointed

I recently purchased a 2023 GMC Canyon with high hopes and expectations, but my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. At just 317 miles on the odometer, the dreaded check engine light illuminated, signaling the beginning of a seemingly endless cycle of issues. First and foremost, it's baffling that a brand-new vehicle would already experience such a critical problem. One would assume that GMC had thoroughly tested their vehicles before releasing them to the market, but my unfortunate experience proves otherwise. Upon contacting the dealership, they assured me that they would take care of the issue under warranty. However, the inconvenience of having to bring in a brand-new vehicle for repairs is unacceptable. Not to mention, I had to deal with the inconvenience of arranging alternate transportation during the time it took to fix the problem. Moreover, this incident has left me with lingering doubts about the overall reliability of the 2023 GMC Canyon. If such a significant problem arises at such low mileage, what other troubles can I expect down the road? The peace of mind that comes with owning a new vehicle has been shattered, and I now question the trustworthiness of GMC's engineering and quality control. In conclusion, my experience with the 2023 GMC Canyon has been nothing short of a disappointment. The check engine light at only 317 miles was a frustrating and disheartening experience, casting doubt on the vehicle's reliability and the brand's commitment to quality. I would caution anyone considering purchasing this model to think twice and thoroughly research their options before making a decision. GMC needs to step up its game and regain the trust of its customers through improved quality control and better customer service.
