2016 GMC Canyon

Canyon returns for 2016 with the segment's best horsepower - 200 horsepower from a standard 2.5L I-4 and 305 horsepower from an available 3.6L V-6 - along with a maximum trailering rating of 7,000 pounds. A new 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine will be offered later in 2016.

Both of Canyon's engines are based on award-winning engine families and tuned to deliver the low-rpm torque customers depend on for hauling and towing. Each incorporates features that enhance smoothness and quietness, contributing to the new truck's exceptional refinement; and each is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual is available with the 2.5L engine in base extended cab/2WD models.

Canyon's bold front-end styling incorporates standard projector beam headlamps and GMC's signature LED daytime running lamps on all models.

Three body configurations are offered: An extended cab model with a 6'2" bed, a crew cab with a 5'2" bed, and a crew cab with a 6'2" bed. With the tailgate down, the longer bed allows 8-foot-long items to be hauled within the vehicle.

From a refinement standpoint, the Canyon features triple-sealed doors inlaid in the body sides for improved aerodynamic performance and a quiet interior. It also features the segment's first active aero grille shutters, which close at certain highway speeds to enhance efficiency through improved aerodynamics. An aluminum hood reduces mass and improves the front-to-rear weight balance.

Canyon's interior is well-equipped and comfortable, all while delivering the connectivity features essential to customers with active lifestyles. The cabin also boasts exceptional attention to detail and premium materials such as soft-touch materials and aluminum trim on the instrument panel of SLE and SLT models.
