2006 GMC Canyon Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 GMC Canyon have mixed feelings about their trucks. Many appreciate the decent fuel economy and off-road capabilities, although some mention concerns about power and build quality. The weaknesses most noted include a lack of power in the 2.8-liter engine and issues with suspension and interior quality."
Performance - could use a bit more power or a different transmition gearing ratio, Factory susspension is garbage ( I reconmend KYB gas shocks) Has good wieght distribution which makes it great for offroad. handles well even lifted. Build Quality - Its an American make...lol do i need to same more Appearance - looks great inside and out, verry durrable interior, agressive body lines. Cost of Ownership - Good on gas everything is great except for the suspension Fun factor - Its fun due to the manual transmition and offroad capabilities
October 5, 2010I like the ride of the car, the steering is nice. I like the color, and the engine and transmission seem to be pretty reliable. However, the paint quality is poor, the sheet metal is thin and susceptable to easily being dented. The gas mileage is fair. The maintenance cost is pretty low for now, and the four wheel drive works well, with plenty of low end torque to spare.
March 28, 2008Good truck but seems to be built weakly.

April 4, 2008At 600 miles, my 2006 Canyon runs quiet, has good suspension, and the 3.5 gives good acceleration when needed.
July 13, 2007I am very pleased with my truck. There is a few cosmetic things that need to be fixed, but for the year model its in very good condition.
April 26, 2021This is a pretty good truck. No way I'll use it for towing but hauls nicely with 1500 lbs in the bed. Okay gas mileage but could be better with the four cyl. Manual runs really smoothly. The suspension is a little hard and performance isn't that great. The quality of the build is great but not excellent. Haven't had to repair or fix much in the twos years ownership.
September 6, 2008its a good enought truck except for the check engine light that keeep on lighting up the 2.8l is a bit weak for the size but still good on the fuel economy overall its not a bad truck well thanks
