I think they are easily the best products in their market segment. I'm very interested in the 2.8L turbodiesel model. 31 mpg with a towing capacity of 7700 lbs is incredible. I'm probably going to buy a crew cab diesel model after the dealers stop marking them up in a year or so.

I've had excellent luck with Chevrolet trucks in the past. I've put over 150,000 miles on the last Silverado I had with no issues at all. I'd probably look at the Canyon though because I think that the GMC dealers are typically better than the Chevrolet dealers.

I am 110% a ford guy and it hard for me to leave my 2015 F150. You won't see me buying one for myself at this time. I bought it for my father who wanted a truck to haul little stuff around while having a smaller vehicle which is easier to drive.

My father is a gmc guy and at his age the big Sierra was a little to big for him plus he does not need a full size truck.

I shopped around and saw more Nissan frontiers packages they ranged $24k to $34k depending on options. I rented one for him and I even drove it and it was ok. I didn't like small center consol. I am use to putting my arm on the consol when I drive long distances so that frustrated me. Ride was also rough compared to other mid size trucks.

We looked at Toyota and big issue ride wasn't as good as new GMC Canyon in how Toyota doesn't package options as well as Nissan and GM. Cost was higher than I would like to pay for his truck.

We drove by a gmc dealer and saw some small canyons out front. We looked at two one was 4x4 with z type package and other 4x2 fairly decently loaded. I let dad test drive it and he could part in tighter spots than he could with GMC Sierra. I drove it and for a mid size truck I was impressed with the car like ride over tradition bumpy stiff ride. Will it last don't know. Can it tow a boat yes but I wouldn't go crazy and tow 22 ft bay boat.

Sometimes we take his truck fishing on our bi weekly trips and it tows my boat fine. It is not an f150 but it handles good for a midsize truck.

You do realize the diesel is almost a $4,000 premium over the v6, right?!
Lol, you'll never make that up. Dumb.

My 2016 cyber gray slt, picked it up in October. Looks green at times blue at other. Love it so far, best mpg 27.6 worst 19.8. Coming from a Nissan rogue, feels about the same size cabin wise, but has a bed, and can tow 7k compared to 1500#. It is a bit more firm ride wise but was more comfortable to me than the other's all of which I drove. There is an old thread about that somewhere.

I like to stir the pot with taco fan boys, they are hardcore, I have had vehicles just as reliable as the legendary toyota, and resale value only counts if someone will give you that much. I would not.

Bottom line I bought what I liked best, I bought a Canyon.
