2012 GMC Canyon Regular Cab

Only Barely Below a Perfect 10!

By MiddleBay (AL) on Friday, July 06, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 52,000

Pros: "Hauls like a team of horses; Super comfortable"

Cons: "17 city/23 hwy only drawback, but it's a truck!"

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

"I purchased this truck for my landscaping business and it never disappointed! Even with its short bed, I've hauled 30 three- and five-gallon shrubs/trees; "two scoops" of crush-and-run; 20 bales of straw. Filled with any of these, it has power enough to accelerate out of its own way onto the highway, or around potential hazards. Unloaded, of course, it's even zippier, but it still gets a respectable 23 Hwy MPG (17 city). Handling is tight with responsive brakes; excellent turning radius for ANY type vehicle; 5 cylinders makes it feel like a more powerful truck. The extended cab is big enough to accommodate myself plus three grown men and a cooler; or myself, a passenger, and two large dogs (60"

Ran her hard for 1 straight week.

"This is my first review so bare with me. I ecieved this canyon as a rental replacment for my poor poor wreck car. I have now had this truck for 1 week and i already managed to rack up 600 in city miles(Delivering Various Commodities). I have almost nothing to complain about either. As being a delivery guy i always hate something about every car i have ever driven. It also seems most cars show their flaws to me in record times lol. This truck has held up very well though. It's comfort, style, and performance almost make me forget its a truck at times, but when i take a corner with any speed i feel that notorious body roll thats custom to a truck. Even with that it still handles well. I would have to say my favorite thing about the truck is the little button on the dash above the radio, that disables the TCS!! Push it and hammer down! I had lots of fun with this truck. PROS Fun truck for a small family Better than usual mpg CONS Truckish body roll I can't keep it =("

"This truck is a tried a true soldier which has always answered the call of duty. In the 6 years that I have owned it, it has never failed me. It has a very strong inline 5 cyc. which makes for good towing ability. Very Solid!"

Great small pickup

By Tc (Paris Tn) on Saturday, August 01, 2009

"Love my lil truck, at 50,000 miles it cost me $1100. To replace the head gasket. and the temp gauge falls to cold when getting on it to pass. Other than that Its very comfortable and rides and drives better than most newer cars I have driven.Very smooth ride for a Truck even with the Z71 upgrade. It still runnin like new with 80,000 miles."

"Only problem with it over thye past 50000 miles is that the brakes are weak, wear out sooner than average and are not the cheapest to replace."
