The Canyon steps in to support the full-size pickups from GMC. However, unlike a traditional work-oriented truck, the GMC Canyon is more geared toward adventurous use. With its crew cab (the only configuration offered) and its sole powertrain—the 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder which develops 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque—the Canyon remains a highly capable tool when road conditions deteriorate, especially in the AT4 and AT4X trims.
