Great looks, lacks some pracitcallity

2025 GMC Canyon Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I just bought a 2025 mGMC Canyon Denali, trading in a 2015 Yukon Denali. I've owned multiple GM trucks including an Avalanche, Yukon, and Colorado. I wasn't thrilled with the reliability of my Yukon, but decided to give GMC another chance. I've had my Canyon for two weeks. Here are my quick thoughts:
Then Canyon Denali looks great, the fit and finish feel solid so far, with no … noticeable rattles. The cab is pretty quiet, but I do find the 4 cycliner 2.7 liter engine to be a little noisy (and it is a weak sound you would expect on a cheap Toyota -- it's not a masculine sounding engine you would expect on a truck).
I'm 6'3" and have plenty of leg-room in the driver's seat. Head-room is above average. The seat is comfortable with adjustable power seats and lumbar controls. Be warned, with the front seat set all-the-way back, there is ZERO room for the legs of even the smallest person.
The display screen for the info center is big, but the system is not super intuitive or easy to use. Furthermore, pretty much everything (including for example, turning on the fog lights), requires going through the touch screen. There are very few physical controls in this vehicle.
The drive is nice, and very smooth. The turning radius on this vehicle is HORRIBLE. You need 3+ lanes to make a U-turn. I have not used the 4wd yet.
My biggest complaint is the vehicle lacks decent interior storage and there is no way to lock either the glove box or the center armrest. Apparently, GM figured saving $10 on a lock is worth the customer aggravation. It is extremely aggravating as there is no place to lock anything (gun, medication, purse, wallet, or any other valuables). Everyhing must go with you or be left unlocked when using a valet or even typical parking at the mall, etc. VERY POOR DECISION on GMs part. I hate this!
Another savings GM (and other manufacturers) are going to is no printed owner's manual. I hate this. You must use the app, and the app is clunky, and the details in the app's manual are a complete joke. Note to GM, if you're going to save $ on not printing manuals, make the app's manual stellar!
There is no way to program a garage door remote to the vehicle. Another big dunce cap design decision.
There is a 110V outlet in the cab behind the center armrest which is nice. There is another in the bed, which is also nice. But, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE CIGARETTE PLUG INPUT PORT which sucks. I have a tire inflator and a refrigerated cooler I can no longer use thanks to GMs cost-saving measures. I didn't even thing to consider such a port would be missing when I took the test-drive and looked the vehicle over.
The stock Denali rims look very basic and cheap. Chrome would make this look sharper.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my Canyon, but had I known about these minor deficiencies on its design, I would have looked at other trucks. GM certainly knows how to shoot its loyal customers right in the foot.
