GMC Canyon

Any of you fine folks have a new Canyon? If so, how do you like it? I don't need a full size truck. I just need it for occasional light trailer towing and most importantly, decent mpg.

2016 SLT here 24k miles. I love it. Only weakness is the 6 speed tranny, I heard the 8 speed on the 2017 is much smoother.
Avg 22 mpg on my work commute.

I've had mine for about 4 months now. It's been great. I had a Yukon before so I scaled down as far as interior space, but it's plenty roomy.
Driving 90% city I'm averaging 19 mpg. On the highway it's usually 23-24. That's with the gas motor. I honestly don't think the diesel is worth the premium price upfront and at the pump. It only tows 500lb more I think.
Really my only gripe so far is a rattle in the passenger door panel. Apparently it's an issue with the bose stereo. I've read its a pretty easy fix, just haven't taken it in yet.

Yes, I do find it hesitates to downshift if I'm in traffic around 30 mph

My best friend has one and he loves it.

Keep in mind that its the exact same truck as the Chevy Colorado.
I didn't fully realize this until I asked to test drive a Colorado and then a Canyon back to back. I felt dumb.

Great truck overall. I have the All Terrain edition and love it. The only thing I don't care for is the Intellilink system. Too many bugs.

I almost bought a Colorado (Chevy, same as Canyon) in December but instead went with a Tacoma because of the features and reputation. I think either the Canyon or Colorado was rated top mid level truck in 2015/16, Tacoma held that award for previous 10 years or so. You'll be fine towing a boat or little travel trailer but make sure to get the 6. MPG are pretty solid on the Canyon as well.
V6 Tacoma and Colorado/Canyon go for about the same price, $32000 +/- pending on which bells and whistles you want.

Bought mine in Houston and was going to buy it for my nephew.
It is just a cool little truck and I rarely splurge on myself. Mine has a street package and it is fun to put around in.
Reminds me of the old S-10's or S-15's with vortex v-6.
After driving it I kept it for myself.
I paid $27k and the same package here would cost around $32k.
I had mine a 1-1/2 years and only have 6,000 miles.
It is a little weekend cruise around town truck.
Tows a small aluminum boat fine.
I like that my wife feels comfortable driving it.
If you are a person that drives mostly around town, once in a blue moon tow a small boat, and gets a few pcs of lumber to do small jobs around the house this is a great truck for you.
I cannot say how it hauls lumber since I use my F150 for my weekday work truck.
They don't budge on the price on these trucks. I guess they do not have the rebates.
