Truck Guys

If you get a 3.5L your wallet will personally punch you in the face. I am warning you do not get one of them. 2.7L or 5.0. 5.0 is probably what I would get if I had the money for them both and they were both low miles. But both of them are reliable.

Uggg, it is a 3.5L, why is that bad?

Timing chain issues, turbo failures (stepdad blew multiple on his truck), intercooler issues, & cam phaser issues. I would stay away. Do you have any mechanic friends? I would ask them their opinion on all three motors.

Out of all my friends I know the most about cars and I don't know anything about cars...

Do your research online. Maybe talk to a mechanic. Drive them all. Pick one for you buddy. I am a random guy on the internet. For all you know I could work in the circus.

Here is the issue, I hate test driving and I hate going to the dealership.

But I do love looking at them online and sending messages to the salesmen!

Test driving them shows the salesman that you are interested and may potentially lead to a better deal. I would try driving them all. Ask them what their favorite motor is and common issues. Again.. have them refer you to the service department. If you truly want to buy a truck you'll have to invest some time into getting the right one for you. If you don't like them or the vehicle then you can leave!

Chevy Colorado???

I had a GMC Canyon for a short period. It was great around town but I was used to the larger Yukons and Sierras so it felt a bit small for me. The problem I had with it though was power/quickness when I’d take it down 1-25 to Denver. I’m a fairly aggressive driver and I didn’t like it in stop/slow and go traffic. When the pack would speed back up, it wouldn’t quite keep up.

Fairly minor I know, but that and the smaller size is why I moved back to a Sierra. If I rarely left town I’d probably still have it.

I love the Sierra and Canyon, both look super great and I love how the Canyon rides.
