Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the GMC Canyon is definitely nimbler than the typical truck, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The typical truck's engine is tremendously bigger than the GMC Canyon's. Note that bigger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. The GMC Canyon could learn a lesson or two from the average truck when it comes to torque. The average truck packs quite a wallop compared to the GMC Canyon as far as torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration.

Utility
The typical truck's bigger trunk will accommodate more sizeable things than the Canyon. Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the GMC Canyon over the average truck. The average truck is likely a better choice than the Canyon in terms of transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or massive dogs. Towing is substantially more the typical truck's forte than it is the GMC Canyon's.

Convenience
You will have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the GMC Canyon than with the average truck.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the typical truck's front cabin compared to the GMC Canyon. The ampler interior dimensions of the average truck make it significantly roomier for your passengers than the GMC Canyon.

Dimensions
The typical truck is significantly more bulky than the GMC Canyon. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the typical truck than the GMC Canyon because of its larger tank. The GMC Canyon and the average truck compete for the same parking spaces. The GMC Canyon's shorter wheelbase will likely give a sprier feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the typical truck is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the GMC Canyon to the dealership as the typical truck. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Canyon and the Canyon perform roughly comparably as far as gas mileage. As far as fuel economy, the Canyon beats the typical truck. In terms of MSRP, the GMC Canyon costs substantially less than the average truck.

Warranty
Although the basic warranty that comes with the typical truck is a little longer than the GMC Canyon's, the difference isn't too considerable.
