Was waiting for the 2015 Canyon but have decided to go used full size.
I know pricing isn't fully out yet on the the GM midsizers, but to get 3.6 crew cab 4x4 with leather it will no doubt be $40000+tax
So I'm thinking LTZ/SLT Silverado/Sierra 5.3 crew cab. Most on the Trader are around $32-35000 with ~40k KM for a 2011-2013. Didn't realize until yesterday when I was comparing trucks that the LTZ/SLT have a mostly different interior than the lower trims.
I have a 2007 Mazda6 5-door 3.0 V6 with 120000km that I was going to trade in. I was loosely thinking trade value was around $6-7000 and mentioned that to my dad this morning, I come home and my neighbour says he talked to my dad and said he'll give me 6 cash for it, I check trader and they are going for $9-11k. I paid $13000 a little over 3 years ago, I don't really want to take that big of a hit so I'll have to awkwardly renege on my dad's price and come back with $9000? Still a bit of a deal for him the way I see it.
Pretty excited for a truck, I have a 19ft bayliner at my parent's cottage that basically stays there since I can't tow it and my brother is a dick bag if I ask to borrow his truck (I let him use my boat whenever and he rarely fills it up when done...), so I can finely take my boat wherever I want!

Though, that is pretty reasonable mileage for a 2007, the trade in offer at the dealer will probably be very close to what your father offered. So if that's anything, then I suppose try to ask for more from Pops like you said.

Well it's not my dad buying it from me, it's my parent's neighbour. If my dad wanted it I would gift it for like $5000 and a case of beer.

Sorry, havent eaten anything yet today! Calculate all the fuel costs your brother owes you and bill him, then add to the new truck fund.

"I know pricing isn't fully out yet on the the GM midsizers, but to get 3.6 crew cab 4x4 with leather it will no doubt be $40000+tax"
This is really my only concern with the new midsizers - that GM is going to shoot themselves in the foot with the pricing. I want a Canyon too, but forty thousand dollars is a lot of money to spend on a truck, even without the full size models sitting right next to it for a few thousand more (or less, in many cases). If GM expects to lure crossover buyers , those folks are going to want four doors and probably 4x4 too. Approaching the $40K mark, it just starts to not make financial sense given the other alternatives out there. I find it hard to believe automakers can't figure out how to profitably build a midsize truck at a lower price point.
Personally, I'd go with a used LTZ/SLT also. It's just a better value, even though I don't need that much truck. That Silverado looks sharp in black.

My gripe with the GM fullsize trucks from 2009-2013 (or whatever the last gen model years were) is the the doors on the intrerior, I know it's a bit silly. That hard plastic slabs and the giant door handle that is down by your knee. The LTZ/SLT (and Denali) have the Tahoe interior (more car like doors with better fit and finish, and also bucket seats in the front with a console, not the bench seat).
And agreed with the midsize pricing. I'm know I'm not looking for barebones, but crew cab 4x4 with leather should be able to buy for $35000. I bet in Canada to get that it would end up mid 40s after tax, at which point, if still opting to buy new, I would just get the 4.3L extended cab 2014 Sierra.
