Just bought a brand new Canyon Dinali

Just bought a brand new Canyon Dinali. Starting to think it?s a glorified piece of junk. Had it three weeks plastic Falls off back window. Carpet pulls up from the floor not glued. Steering wheel has to be replaced plastic very sharp edge could cut your hand on the steering wheel . When you open up the engine hood doesn?t want to latch. Made adjustment in the hood does not want to open . When you spend $50,000 expected more than baffled with xxxxxxxx with all the electronics .

Great vehicle!!

I purchased the Duramax diesel option for towing my camper and completely satisfied. Has all the options, comfortable and the Duramax Diesel is everything I was looking for in towing capability and good gas mileage .

The truck I had been looking for

Two weeks in, I am more than happy with my 2018 GMC Canyon. The 6-foot bed and extended cab are perfect for my needs, though even at midsize, the truck is a tad too long for my garage space. The styling and satin-steel finish are distinctively different. It is quieter than any truck I have driven or ridden in, and the 6-cylinder engine and 8-speed transmission are smoothly powerful. The interior has easy-to-use, convenient controls, and I love the GM "infotainment center" with a touch screen. It is a base model that could use a few more refined touches inside, such as an overhead console and a couple more cubbyholes. But even in the "work truck" trim, I get a rear-view camera, Bluetooth, USB and phone charger connections, trailer assist technology, and trip and maintenance information. I cannot honestly give 5 stars on reliability, at two weeks. But the truck seems solidly made so far.

Comfort and sleek style in a pick up

The GMC Canyon crew cab is perfect for my needs. Enough room for the grandkid?s car seats and enough bed space to hold what I need to transport. And, enough comfort and features to please all.

Truck Lover

My husband loves his new truck. Rides great and he can listen to all his cd's on a flash drive. Beats paying for outside sources for the music he likes to hear while driving.

Loving my GMC

This truck is smaller than I was looking for but was pleasantly surprised by how roomy it is once I took it for a spin. I?m 6?4 but fit comfortably. The sound system is amazing and it?s great on fuel. Glad I bought it.

Beautiful car

Like the style of the car and it is fun to drive. Get lots of compliments about it, especially form guys. I think they all want one of their own.

Best looking mid-size truck on the market!

Love this mid-size truck! I did a lot of comparison shopping and all roads led me to this choice the 2018 GMC Canyon SLT! Best Buy for the buck!

Great truck! Lots of room!

I researched several trucks and narrowed down to the Canyon after about a week or so. I continued to research and shop for the Canyon for an additional month before making a purchase. The overall price being advertised (rebates and incentives) combined with the features, safety ratings, and MPG vs those of other comparable trucks was much better. The crew cab V6 / SLE package met all of my needs, and MPG received after the first fill up was 21.5 (very satisfied).
