2004 GMC Canyon Regular Cab

Better than a sedan

By Big Guy (NE) on Monday, April 08, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 16,000

Pros: "Good quality useful truck"

Cons: "A little basic, but that is money in your pocket"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I was considering a sedan for my next car, but was excited to buy this 2009 truck from someone who rarely drove it. I knew they had no problems with it so far. To get a good sized car you really can see the price tag get high. A lot of people look at this as a “small” vehicle, but compared to the cars out there now, it seems huge. I found even a small truck can be very useful for hauling a number of things for yard and home. Even if it takes a couple of extra trips when hauling, save a ton on gas over all. I was dreading what kind of new tiny car I would be stuck with and realized a truck solved the problem. I like how basic it is, it is hard to get a car that has some basics without these huge package upgrades. There is a reason why trucks are the best selling vehicles."

Great Truck Tranny should have been tougher!

By Boss (CT) on Wednesday, February 20, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 62,000

Pros: "Excellent looking, quick, great in snow"

Cons: "Needed head work warranty @ 7k miles. trans @52k"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I bought the truck new in 2006. Crew cab. Automatic tranny. Had a spray in bed liner. Had a fisher plow LD mounted on it at the dealer and only this blizzard of 2013 with 36 inches of snow proved a bit too much for my baby! However, it did drive in 2 solid feet of snow once you kept it moving.! The tranny blew at exactly six years and 52000 miles but it did plow five winters and about 3000 driveways. I will definitely recommend this truck. My family drives it reliably. Had a head displacement issue taken care of under warranty and truck drives great now."

Great truck for its price!

By Greg (OR) on Saturday, February 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 112,000

Pros: "Comfortable, fun to drive, great headlights,"

Cons: "Turning radius"

"Bought new in 2005.Plan on more miles with this truck. Has proven itself to being reliable, comfortable and I like the body design. The major likes are the oil change monitoring system. No more fast lube places that guilt you into thinking you needed oil changes every 3000 miles. My wife likes the seat warmers. Me, not so much!Have had the battery replaced once and relaced the AC/Heater fan blower wiring harness due to defect at contact point.Other than these this Canyon has been very reliable and maintenance free.I would certainly buy another Canyon or Colorado."
