    I bought this truck new 8 years ago (and 77k miles).

    I bought this truck new 8 years ago (and 77k miles). I use this truck for truck things like towing a 5,200lb trailer @8 times a year. The V6 has plenty of power and gets good mileage (22 mpg combined, 29 highway empty, 15 pulling the trailer). Reliability has been outstanding. The transmission needs a full flush about every 40k to keep it shifting smoothly. Other than that this truck has been without issue.

    Well I searched and looked at 2018 chev verses 2018 gmc

    Well I searched and looked at 2018 chev verses 2018 gmc and I went with the 2018 gmc canyon what a mistake at 40.000 miles I have to service the tranmission I have never had to service a tranmission before it was slipping well that cost 300.00 then at 50.000 miles I had to replace a thermostat the temp Guage went to zero and the fan kicked on that was 1400.00 I figure things happen then at 65.000 I had to replace air conditioner compressor that costed 2300.00 now at 100.000 another thermostat they want 1400.00 this time so you see it's not any better than a chev don't spend the extra money on a upgrade go with the reg chev ain't no better. I will never buy a GMC AGAIN. This vehicle is nothing but a xxx and they are unwilling to help.

    Exelent truck over all

    Would give it a 5 star but for the lack of a mettle bumper and the dumb location of the headlight control and 4 wheel drive control (almost half to open the door to see them) along with the fact I half to duck down to see the fuel gauge.

    Great vehicle so far

    I've only owned it a few weeks but for a first time truck owner, I'm really liking it. If there was one thing I could change, it would be to get rid of the key start and add a push button start. Other than that, I love it.

    Nice looking vehicle.

    This truck is exactly what we were looking for. Like the color and size of the interior and exterior of the truck. The interior is tan and brown. Good leg room.

    Go with the duramax

    Great fuel mileage for a 4X4. 25 city, 30 highway. My buddy's uses a quart every 2500 miles but my truck is fine. Might be cause of the break in procedure I did. I wanted a Ranger but got the Canyon with the duramax for less. Automatic downshifting in cruise control as well as exhaust brakes saves the brakes.
