Fun and comfortable. Runs like a charm. Reasonable price, remote start great in cold weather, trailer package is perfect. Just an all around tough ride with style too.

10g to buy out the Lease. Well worth the loss.

Absolutely the worst lease vehicle. I have ever had. BY FAR!!! I lease cars for the warranty and for the reliability of a new vehicle . I have leased 2x Dodge Chargers, Ford Taurus and F150. The F150 was up and I needed a cheaper vehicle because of a new house. The GMC Canyon was awful. I got the White/Black Elevation edi. 4x4. Its a sporty style truck. The V6 is loud and getting louder because there is something wrong with the exhaust. I actually wear earplugs at time in this truck. The 4x4 system is a joke. Just don't bother because you will get stuck with it. The electrical system has issues. Radio turns off, turn signals do not work from time to time, Dome light randomly comes on. I was told it was a short in the amp...NOPE! GMC customer service is non existent. Their service Dept. is a joke and their favorite phrase is "we don't see anything wrong when the turn singles will not activate. I told OSP on that one. I had to take my truck 5hrs to Detroit to have it fix after the state complaint and I am still having issues. The Transmission is already starting to act up at 9000 miles. I will gladly GLADLY! pay 1000s of dollar to get out of my lease ASAP! Biggest hunk of junk ever.

This is the Truck I wanted and expected

This Truck met all my Expectations and the Comfort Ride Gas Mileage and the Power were beyond what you would expect from a smaller truck

Nicest truck I have ever owned!

This is the third truck I have owned. The truck fits in my garage. I will use it to carry fire wood and wood to make furniture. I love it!

Canyon

We leased a Canyon work truck and now leased an upgraded Canyon with the intention of buying it when the lease is up. We really like the way the truck drives and it has many amazing features.

New and beautiful

Love this truck. Excellent mid sized vehicle with many conveniences. Rides nice and the visibility is amazing, especially at night - fantastic lights. My only regret is that it didn’t come with a factory built in trailer break system.

The truck of my dreams

It is beautiful, stylish, and comfortable. Lumbar support in the passenger seat sold my wife. This will probably be the last truck that I will purchase in my lifetime and I know that I selected the right one.

Great pickup to drive and is very attractive.

We love the Canyon 4x4 Elevation. it is very comfortable, has a great scat to it and easy to drive. It will make an excellent vehicle for commuting.
