Auto review: Handsome 2015 GMC Canyon SLE serves urban ranch hands - Indianapolis Star
The GMC Canyon is a better choice for wannabe-yuppie ranch hands. Think of the Canyon as a smaller Sierra, not just another small pickup. Projector beam headlamps and LED running lamps connect it to the GMC family. Up front, the scene is all big boy truck with a beefy leather-wrapped steering wheel, red-stitched dash coverings, red-lit gauges and canvas/vinyl seats that look like they came out of a Camaro. GMC's Intellilink infotainment system uses voice and touchscreen to control audio, navigation and apps like TuneIn global radio and Pandora. Automatic climate control and heated front seats add comfort. Rear seats are tighter than fronts, but two fit. Canyons come standard with a 200-horsepower four-cylinder engine, but we stepped up to the 305-horsepower 3. 6-liter V6. It was connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and electronic four-wheel-drive. That's partly due to tall gearing designed to enhance fuel economy, but on the interstate it requires attention to keep the truck at speed. Fuel economy is rated 17/24 mpg city/highway. Properly equipped, Canyon can tow. Source: www.indystar.com
