So far we sure love the truck and sadly, even though it won't be 2 years old until November it already has 51,000 km on it. 

I hope to do the "reveal" this week on our new daily driver which will help keep the miles down on the Canyon.

Our son would like to buy it in a year or two but man, I've read of a lot of electrical woes with the 23 and 24 Canyons. Other than brakes, how has your's been?

Because this is just a work truck, it does not have any fancy options but did come with navigation for Work purpose. It goes in on Tuesday to have the Remote start installed I do not wanna go through another winter without it. 700 bucks out of my pocket because company will not pay for it. it also will get the latest three recall repairs done. It was in once before they have three done the worst is that a sensor viewing the road has to be replaced three times driving down the highway. I've had the brakes just slam on automatically and I'll tell you it is scary, I was able to get into the settings and delete it to stop that as Carl said there's been electrical issues something to do with the daytime driving lights blinking coming on and off. I have not experienced that but they are going to do the recall.

One of the reasons I was hesitant to replace my daily driver was the new one has a traffic detection function. I didn't want it to slam on the brakes for a ghost and cause a chain reaction collision on the 401. Then I discovered I could switch it on or off. Sold!

 

2.7 litre, that is a big four. How is it for smoothness?

They finally got stock on brake pads for my truck. Just the front pads are $369. That is crazy.

 That's parts only? Not including labour?

Rock auto?

Another one of those year over year changes that make it difficult for the aftermarket, all car manufacturers seem to do this way too much and most often for little or no significant benefit? When I bought brake drums/shoes for my 59 El Camino, I believe they were the same on numerous GMs up to 1972, including pickups.

Carl, do you feel your brakes are inferior? These is probably an ad on the go touting the new improved brakes on the 2023? And you may need a computer input to tell your new 2023 it has new brakes. I see the computer thing needed on some vehicles when you install a new battery and many other things. And some new vehicles have no oil or transmission dipstick, the computer will tell you when your oil is low. Leaving you with a major penalty when your computer fails to do its warning job?

 Not at all. The brakes have never felt anything but 100% sufficient including when I'm pulling my car trailer with a full size 66 Pontiac station wagon on it which I've done twice. But of course, as Kevin says, they had to come up with something that gives the owner less control over his vehicle and his decisions about maintenance....

Our son would love to have us buy a new Canyon so he could buy our 2022 but I'm not so sure I'm ready to do that.
