Starting at $22,000, the GMC Canyon is definitely a slightly more affordable option than its competitors when it comes to pickup trucks. A great light-duty pickup truck, the Canyon has incredible mileage per gallon and is also very reliable.
However, 5 percent of owners still return the car within the first year. So, if you’re in the market for a good pickup truck, you might want to take a look at other options before making a purchase.
Fiat
The Fiat is one of the world's easiest and funnest cars to drive, but it also has a very high return rate for the first year. Many owners claim that the car is unreliable.
Many buyers explain their decision of returning their Fiat within the first year by stating that, "As a brand, FIATs are plagued by the reputation of being unreliable, and the FIAT 500 has been a mainstay on unreliable vehicle lists by JD Power and Consumer Reports."
Land Rover
Land Rover is an iconic automaker, but in 2018, it found that nearly 7 percent of its buyers were returning their vehicles within the first year after purchasing. Considering the Land Rover's SUV market is fairly small, this is a worrying figure for the company.
Land Rover is known for its smooth yet powerful off-road features. What is slightly more problematic is the way it drives on a regular freeway.
Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan is a very decent competitor to some of the world's best pickup trucks. However, despite its 390 horsepower V8 engine, the Titan's underwhelming towing and payload ratings have made it a less desirable option than its competitors.
The quality of the ride is said to be too harsh at times, and since the towing, the power, and the payload fall short when it comes to competitors, nearly 8 percent of Titan owners have returned the car after less than a year of buying it.
Mini Cooper
The Mini Cooper has been on the market for a very long time, being the favorite tiny car of many dedicated owners. Recently though, the automaker has released bigger and newer models with a high return rate within the first year, and have affected the return rate of the great Mini as well.
Nowadays, the Mini has a 7 percent return rate within the first year. Owners should definitely stick to the classic, tiny Mini Cooper and not indulge with the larger models.
