Good comfort, power, nimble

I was worried that I would miss my 2016 Denali 1500 but the new Canyon has great power to weight ratio and good comfort.

I just bought it but, I LOVE it so far!!

Love it so far. Wish it had provision for built it Garage Door openers. Very peppy for a 6 cylinder. Love the styling and the looks.

A great truck

I've only driven the GMC about 600 miles. So far, very happy with my purchase. The only question is the comfort of the front seat. It is very firm and expect I will need to become accustom to the change. I wanted the smaller pickup for it's tow-ability behind my RV. It is also very capable of towing my boat. The impressive towing capacity was a big plus for the purchase . Seems very well built and appointed.

A new lease on (GMC) life

I just turned in my 2015 GMC Canyon All-Terrain for a new 2018 same model. Everything is pretty much the same even though they do not have the new 2018 available in the Cardinal Red. Had to get the Red Tintcoat, close but no WEO (as the old saying went). Now GM only offers two instead of four oil changes and the power train warranty only goes to 60K, down from 100K. It is still a great truck. People in my over 55 condo development may like their Mercedes and Audis, but give me a GMC truck any day.

same old same old

I just replaced my 2015 GMC canyon with a 2018 GMC canyon. In three years, there has been little upgrades. NO keyless starting that is available for the larger trucks and cars, no side indications and other safety features that all the other high end trucks and cars can have. The gas mileage is terrible about 15.5 miles per gallon, The rear view camera is is also terrible, the image is over exposed and the lines in the image to help you park is very faint and difficult to see or use. To hook your smartphone to use the google apps, you have to plug the phone into the usb port rather then using bluetooth. Which means that I cannot charge my phone with quick charge that I have to use the cigarette port

Use for golf trips & home chores, trips with Mrs.

Great vehicle, handles nicely on road and around town. Good gas mileage on trips . Has many safety features and alerts you traffic & road conditions.
