Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Versatile size, strong engine lineup, available side curtain airbags and locking differential, standard ABS.

Cons

Still not as big as a Dakota, no V8 option, can't tow as much as the competition.

What’s new

The Canyon is an all-new compact pickup from GMC.

Edmunds says

It has the size, the features and the looks necessary to become the dominant truck in the compact class -- just don't mistake it for a midsize.

Vehicle overview

This all-new version will sport a larger overall size and a new range of four- and five-cylinder engines derived from the 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder currently sold in the TrailBlazer SUV. Expect standard, extended and crew-cab body styles and an interior that draws heavily from the GM corporate parts bin.

Don in PA, 01/28/2007

2004 GMC Canyon 4dr Extended Cab Z71 SLE Rwd SB (2.8L 4cyl 5M)

I remain very satisfied with my GMC. I especially like the distinctive styling that sets it apart from all other trucks currently offered. I receive compliments on a regular basis. Most people assume it is 4-wheel drive with the off road stance. It's been 100% reliable throughout, with more than ample power for everyday driving. Driving with a full load in the bed is effortless. Driving …

2004 GMC Canyon 4dr Crew Cab Z71 SLE Base 4WD SB (3.5L 5cyl 4A)

I am very satisfied with the overall performance. it was not designed to be a rocket. I have no complaints with the power, and I can pull a loaded utility trailer with firewood weighing about 300 lbs. with no problems. The interior could use a bit of dazzle, as it is quite plain. Rear disc brakes would be better. The exteior is as classy as any small truck on the market. I have had …

AC, 01/10/2005

2004 GMC Canyon 4dr Extended Cab Z71 SLE 4WD SB (2.8L 4cyl 5M)

I have had my Canyon for several months now. Overall I'd give it a 9. Size is just right. Comfort is excellent (Front buckets). It is great for tooling around the city, and country roads alike. Suspension is very good. 4wd also very good. Bottom end grunt is lacking, but it's nowhere near underpowered (5cyl). Interior simple and clean, even if the plastic isn't as good as materials used …

GMC Canyon is a nice truck

Greg, 02/27/2005

2004 GMC Canyon 4dr Crew Cab Z71 SLE 4WD SB (3.5L 5cyl 4A)

At first, the GMC Canyon's interior was hard to adapt to; the plastic materials left much to be desired. After a while, however, I adapted and began to appreciate the plastics. They are actually quite rugged. My truck has the I5, XM, 6CD, Auto-dimming/compass mirror, and power heated leather seats. All are very enjoyable. The seats are comfortable for the longest of trips, and the …
