2015 GMC Canyon SLT Extended Cab review notes - Autoweek
GMC’s Canyon is a right-sized pickup for city dwellers. EDITOR WES RAYNAL: Right out of college, I bought a Jeep Comanche, a smallish/midsize pickup. Nothing fancy or frilly -- just a solid, really good-looking midsize pickup I predict is perfect for a ton of buyers. And I mean solid both in the honesty mentioned above and solid as in this is one stiff chassis, no shakes, no shimmies. As Neff pointed out in December after driving another Canyon we had come through the office, the size is so handy it makes one wonder why all the automakers ditched the midsize category. The Canyon’s balance between being able to handle most pickup truck chores and maneuverability, ease of parking and on-road comfort is about perfect. ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: I spent some time in the new Ford F-150 before hopping into the Canyon, and while this GMC lacked the Ford full-sizer’s towing and hauling capability, I didn’t really feel like I was downgrading. Certainly, the Canyon didn’t feel small. And that’s representative of the big question facing pickup buyers today: Do you want capable and comfortable, or do you want even more capable and comfortable. This Canyon, for instance, gets nearly all of the creature comforts of our long-term Chevy Silverado and packaging better suited to suburbia than its bigger sibling. Source: autoweek.com
