2015 gmc canyon Reviews and News - Automobile
Midsize trucks all but disappeared because they offered less than full-size trucks did at a similar price. As full-size trucks have gotten even bigger and tougher in the last decade, automakers have warmed back up to small(er) trucks, albeit not as small as a Mitsubishi Mighty Max. General Motors is the first domestic car company to rejoin the midsize game, long monopolized by the Japanese, with rebirth of its Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. The Chevrolet Colorado recently won Motor Trend’s sought-after Truck of the Year award. The Colorado and Canyon are mechanical duplicates, but we think the GMC is a bit more posh with a distinctive front fascia, headlights, and taillights. With four-wheel drive, two-speed transfer case, and automatic locking rear differential, the Canyon could be a capable trail runner, although its long wheelbase, low-hanging side steps, and droopy front air dam could all easily get snagged on... If optioned with the 2. 5-liter inline-four, the Canyon is only capable of towing a mere 3,500 pounds. No, you won’t see this rig hauling fully loaded 30-foot racing trailers, but it is more than ready to haul a long list of motorized playthings. Source: www.automobilemag.com
