2004 GMC Canyon 2.8 from North America
Summary:
Good little truck for the money
Faults:
- A/C blower motor resistor replaced.
- Engine thermostat.
General Comments:
I recently purchased this truck. I got a good deal on it, and needed to save on fuel. I am getting approx. 25mpg hwy.
The truck needed a little work when I bought it. I've performed a tune up (plugs, fluids filters, etc.) and am pleased with how it runs other than the rough idle. I have not been able to smooth out the idle to point I'm satisfied. Cleaning the throttle body helped quite a bit, but still not perfect.
The truck only having the 4 cyl is not great on power. With the A/C on, it can be somewhat of a struggle at times to get out into traffic, but I was looking to get good gas mileage and not performance.
I would not recommend this vehicle for more than very light towing. I have a full size for any towing needs I may have.
The interior is pretty comfortable for a base model, little extended cab truck.
All power options seem to still work fine, including the A/C. The truck does not burn any oil. All in all, it has held up good.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What makes you think imports are reliable?
Let's see, if the depreciation hit and $ needed for a new truck exceeds any major repair bill you *might* have then by all means sell it.
You can always buy powertrain warranty if you have trouble sleeping at night, though I suspect this to be just another Japanese dealer making stuff up.
