Does everything I’ve ever asked it to

This truck has always been great to me. It does amazing in off road and thick Iowa mud. Handles snow and ice like a trooper too. It hauls nice and manipulating a trailer I’m reverse is really responsive. If I have one complaint.. it is a touch too small with a full vehicle on longer trips. It also can’t carry most ATVs in the cargo bed, so you have to have a trailer.

Great truck just not enough for the $$

Great overall 2016 Canyon, love the styling and power from the V6. Just amazed that in 2016 GMC does not give you remote entry, even though it has power locks, no power mirrors and also a tiny 4 inch display and crappy radio. For a 30,000 $ truck.come on GM

Great truck with plenty of space

The lack of push button start is a real mistake. My next vehicle will have push button start. Other than that I love the truck.

Satisifed

We have a 2017 canyon . We?ve only had it little over a month made one payment. I love it! But a little upset now it?s brand new it?s now being worked on for Torque converter ? as for the ride and looks it?s great am just worried about other things going bad. But yes I do recommend this truck . Drives easy especially for me as a woman . My husband also loves it just not happy with the fact it?s have to have a new torque converter.

Mid size truck with big boy attitude.

This truck acts like an SUV. Plenty of comfort, legroom, perks. The only thing missing is the tv for the backseat. It's size makes it easy to navigate around town and the all terrain feature I wouldn't give up for ten bigger trucks.

Disappointed!

I have had it in the shop too many times for a two year old truck. Two serious transmission issues and now a ball joint replacement. The mileage is poor and not what is represented in literature and make winding noise when coming to a stop that I'm told is normal? This all comes from someone who usually doesn't complain but couldn't help because this was not a cheap purchase!

Love this truck!

This is my first truck, after a lifetime of driving sedans. My family of 5 can fit comfortably, and the truck drives like a dream. I love having the option to throw something messy or bulky in the bed, as well as towing anything I want to.

Great Pickup

This truck is economical, attractive and comfortable. Fuel economy is much better than I expected. I get many compliments on the interior and exterior. I routinely drive 200 KM trips and have no problems with the seats, I can't say that about many cars or trucks
