Being a Crew Cab my test truck came with a less accommodating short box out back, but it featured a durable plastic liner for easy cleaning and optimal scratch

In the end love can be fickle for sure, but as my wife will attest when you've won me over I'm loyal to a fault. It is, however, somewhat hard to win me over. The Canyon is feeling such disaffection no doubt, despite its good looks. When GM offers a different configuration to test, possibly a 4x4 model or one with a smaller cab, I'll give it a whirl to see if my feelings can be rekindled. But as the saying goes, once bitten twice shy. You had best test the waters before diving in too.
