2015 GMC Canyon Long-Term Review: the 'Enthusiast' Test - AutoGuide.com

I like to pack my snow gear into a large plastic tote, which fits snugly on top of the back of the folded down rear seat. The 60/40 split in the rear makes it possible for me to get all of the essentials into the back while leaving admittedly cramped space for two rear-seat passengers. Adding companions to the trip would of course add gear to the trip, so it seems a duo of adventurers is about max capacity for the Canyon when the bed is full. The Chevy Silverado and other half-tons generally have a standard bed length around 6. 5 feet, so GM’s midsizers don’t give up much in the length department compared to their larger brethren. SEE ALSO: Colorado, Canyon to Get Updated Tachometers. I need to hop the front right ski onto the wheel arch because the bed isn’t quite wide enough to accommodate my 46. 1-inch wide snowmobile. The average full-size ATV is about 47 inches wide and the Canyon’s bed is 57. 8-inches wide, so just about any regular size four-wheeler will fit. But there are only 44. 4 inches between the tops of the wheel wells, so like the snowmobile, an ATV would have to hop one wheel over. For comparison, the Silverado offers 51. 3 inches between its wheel arches, enough so that my sled or an ATV would fit comfortably. Source: www.autoguide.com
