Should Have Waited

2024 GMC Canyon Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I love the looks of the Canyon. Rides real smooth with a streamlined body. I love the remote ap that allows starting, locking, temp controls, etc. I have the Denali package and although a bit pricey, I like it a lot. That being said there are a few negatives. The most annoying aspect of this truck is the glare on the driver and passenger windows. When you look at your side view … mirrors, you immediately see the glare of the chrome trim on the dashboard. I thought that I would get used to it over time, but not yet. Gas mileage is supposed to be between 18-20. I have struggled to reach 18 even with highway driving. The infotainment system was a little challenging to learn. I owned the truck for one month and received a recall notice. Head lamps flickered at times. I actually noticed that when I first drove it at night but thought maybe that was how it should work. The engine is a little noisy but once up to speed it is hardly noticeable. Owned for one month and got a recall. Flickering headlights requiring repair and software update. Been waiting 2 1/2 hours for software update. Not good. Should have stuck with my 1989 Chevy S-10 Tahoe. Did not buy at this local dealership. Got a much better deal across state line. Hope I wasn’t flagged for not buying locally and now being punished having to wait.
