Today marks 6 months with my 2006 Canyon SL regular cab 2WD 2.8L.
Here she is on the day I picked her up:

She seemed fairly clean only things I saw were a slight crease in the right rear quarter and a dent in the rear bumper on the left side. Frame has just a touch of surface rust in a couple places but is very solid. It runs great 99% of the time, just chasing a nagging intermittent misfire, not even bad enough to set the check engine light, just annoying. She had 108,000 miles on it when I bought it and now has about 111,000 miles.

Since purchasing I have replaced the headlights and parking lights, changed out the radio for one with Carplay, added remote power door locks, and added power windows. Also wireless charging phone holders a couple small GMC emblems on the doors and dash and weathertech floor mats

Cosmetically on the exterior I have added Z85 decals, the mini Fender Flares, and Rally Stripes.

I have a set of Bed Rail tie-downs ordered hopefully get next week.

Overall I love this truck, it looks good, drives good, reliable, ice cold AC, hot heat, has hauled a bunch of stuff to the dump, which is what I purchased it for. Next duty is to clear out a storage building I have rented to get that payment off of me.
Getting about 18mpg in the city with a high of 28mpg on the highway.
