Default I want!!

Can I have a baby Sierra with a diesel please?

2015 GMC Canyon First Look - Motor Trend

So I've been slumming it in a sports car this last year and it's fun and all but I do miss the convenience, versatility and reliability of a truck, however the only GM truck I really like right now is the Denali and there's no way I'm paying $55K+ for a damn truck so...

I think next year when the 2.8L diesel comes in the Canyon, I'll sell my Camaro and buy that. Probably won't be as fun but I won't have to worry about curbing rims, potholes and dips as much.

The new diesel seems legit! 30mpg hwy and 6k+ towing capacity. I'm pretty much sold. The 19' wakeboard boat and utility trailers will do fine behind this. I may just buy one for the wife instead of the pile of lack luster crossovers on the market right now. She doesn't like my truck says she can't see. This should be about perfect for a few years for her.

Agreed, I think GM hit it out of the park with these new mid-size trucks. The current Full-size trucks are just too big now. These mid-size trucks are as capable as the full size trucks were 10 years ago.

It's not the roominess that's a problem, that's a good thing. It's parallel parking and pulling into parking spaces at the grocery store that make parking a full size Crew Cab with a long box a hastle. Especially when living in a congested city like LA. I would be ok with it if I lived anywhere where people aren't living on top of each other like you do in Ohio.
And the Van is actually a bit of a headache as well which is why I went with a camaro for a DD. Just too much of a headache to drive big vehicles in congested cities. I think the mid size is a happy medium with having the capabilities of a full size yet the convenience of a SUV. Heck the V6 has a 7K lbs towing capability and they say the Diesel will have more. I might be able to pull my toyhauler with my truck inside if it gets any higher!
