There is an Extended Cab version, with a six-foot, two-inch box. a Crew Cab with five-foot, two-inch box and a Crew Cab with the six-foot, two-inch box. A six-foot, two-inch bed is long enough to carry an eight-foot long cargo without it hanging over the end of the tailgate. (No, sheets of plywood will not fit between the wheel wells, but it's easy to configure them above the wheel wells. ) Both cab sizes serve a need with the Extended Cab rear area best suited for cargo and maybe an occasional passenger. The GMC Canyon has some nice extra features like steps on the rear corners to make access to the bed much easier and a tailgate designed to open softly without dropping and easier to raise. Our test truck was powered by the standard 200-hp 2. 5-liter DOHC four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway for the two-wheel drive version and slightly less with four-wheel drive. Our rear-wheel drive test truck averaged 23. 4 mpg during our week of local driving.
