 Had a 2015 GMC SLT 3.5L V6 Canyon. I like the GMC Canyon. As my daily driver it was a very good vehicle that averaged 19-20 mpg overall in 50/50 driving. Debated endlessly buying when lease was coming up, but didn't because the width of the interior and rear seat legroom just wasn't quite enough for me. Found a new 2016 SCrew Lariat still on lot and negotiated approx. $15,000 off sticker and upgraded to full-size. I love the size, power (faster zero to 60 and 17-18 mpg in same driving), and refinement of the F-150. There is no comparison for a raspy V6 and throaty V8. : - )  Will you drive with adults in the vehicle occasionally?  Although the mid-size pickup works, every time I had 4 adults (nearly grown kids count) in the vehicle I would need to adjust seats to allow everyone to be comfortable (AKA everyone sacrifice room the same). If you had 5 guys it started reminding me of a sideshow at the circus. This F-150 Crew Cab is ridiculously comfortable for 4 and even 5 adults.  At the end of the day I am exactly what mid-size pickups are marketed to. I am not overly big at 6-ft tall and 200lbs. I bike, run, and generally love the outdoors. I don't need a full-size pickup. But comparing price, features, interior size, MPG, and innovation, the full-size pickups are where the R&D money is spent. The mid-size pickups don't have the interior room of most mid-size cars. <<--- this is extremely important to note. I am not sure when you compare specs how the minor differences of interior dimensions end up being so important, but they are. Parking the vehicle is a minor annoyance, but mid-size isn't just easy in some parking lots. Finally, on the price. The difference can be completely negligible under the right circumstances. There are 10 times as many full-size pickups as mid-size across all manufacturers. Much more competitive industry for Ford, GM, Dodge and consumers win the game if you are patient.
