Useless trucks in my opinion, sold GMC's for five years. The only people buying Canyon were retirees (farmers) who moved into a condo and could not fit their full sized truck in the parking spot or newly divorced cougars (provided they did not buy a Jeep). You are looking at best 9l/ 100km on these things. They are "capable" trucks but would not want to pull anywhere close to the 7500lbs capacity. The 3.6L V6 has been a GMC staple going back to 2010 and the new 9 speed tranny is great. Powertrain wise they are excellent vehicles but unless you HAVE to downsize I wouldn't give it two thoughts, and as mentioned, the pricing on them does not make sense.
