GMC Canyon Regular Cab
Select a Year
(9 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2012, GMC adds improved Bluetooth connectivity to the Canyon's option list, while a sliding rear window becomes standard on the SLE-2 4WD Extended Cab model. All 4WD and Crew Cab models gain an automatic locking rear differential.
For 2011, the Canyon gains available Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, redesigned front seat head restraints and OnStar 9.0 with six-months of Directions and Connections service.
For 2010, head curtain airbags are now standard on all models, the optional 5.3-liter V8 gains variable valve timing and the ZQ8 Sport Suspension package is now available on two-wheel drive Extended Cab and Crew Cab SL1 models.
A host of new equipment includes revised wheels, more standard equipment on SLT and Work Truck trims and an improved Z71 package. Enhanced safety features include standard StabiliTrak stability control and a new braking system. A 5.3-liter V8 can now be ordered on both Extended and Crew Cab models and the sport-oriented ZQ8 suspension package is revived for 2009.
OnStar with the Directions and Connections plan is standard on all but the base SL trim level, and halogen fog lights are standard across the entire line.
The Canyon is the mirror image of its sister vehicle, the Chevrolet Colorado. GMC adds a few upscale touches to try and distinguish its truck, but for the most part the two are interchangeable at every level. As with the Colorado, the Canyon offers customers a compact truck that is big on value, with a choice of four or five-cylinder engines, two-wheel or four-wheel drive and three configurations: Regular Cab, Extended Cab and Crew Cab. Though not as powerful or roomy as the imports, the Canyon does have its strong points, namely an affordable base price and relatively good fuel economy. Isuzu, however, markets a version of the Canyon known as the i-Series, which carries a far superior standard warranty yet is similarly priced to its GMC and Chevrolet counterparts.

"I purchased this truck for my landscaping business and it never disappointed! Even with its short bed, I've hauled 30 three- and five-gallon shrubs/trees; "two scoops" of crush-and-run; 20 bales of straw. Filled with any of these, it has power enough to accelerate out of its own way onto the highway, or around potential hazards. Unloaded, of course, it's even zippier, but it still gets a respectable 23 Hwy MPG (17 city). Handling is tight with responsive brakes; excellent turning radius for ANY type vehicle; 5 cylinders makes it feel like a more powerful truck. The extended cab is big enough to accommodate myself plus three grown men and a cooler; or myself, a passenger, and two large dogs (60"

"This is my first review so bare with me. I ecieved this canyon as a rental replacment for my poor poor wreck car. I have now had this truck for 1 week and i already managed to rack up 600 in city miles(Delivering Various Commodities). I have almost nothing to complain about either. As being a delivery guy i always hate something about every car i have ever driven. It also seems most cars show their flaws to me in record times lol. This truck has held up very well though. It's comfort, style, and performance almost make me forget its a truck at times, but when i take a corner with any speed i feel that notorious body roll thats custom to a truck. Even with that it still handles well. I would have to say my favorite thing about the truck is the little button on the dash above the radio, that disables the TCS!! Push it and hammer down! I had lots of fun with this truck. PROS Fun truck for a small family Better than usual mpg CONS Truckish body roll I can't keep it =("

"This truck is a tried a true soldier which has always answered the call of duty. In the 6 years that I have owned it, it has never failed me. It has a very strong inline 5 cyc. which makes for good towing ability. Very Solid!"
