The 2022 GMC Canyon is the Compact Pickup Built for Demanding Jobs

The 2022 GMC Canyon is a compact pickup that is capable to work harder than most of its competitors due to its beefier mechanicals.

A choice of many body configurations

The 2022 GMC Canyon is one of the most customisable trucks on the market due to its two cab styles and three bed lengths. The standard version of the Canyon is equipped with the Extended Cab variant and the short bed, making it the most affordable compact pickup in Canada. If you regularly transport passengers in your pickup, you might want to chose the Crew Cab variant, which benefits from two real rear doors and more interior space.

In order to fit everyone’s needs and tastes, the Canyon is offered in five trim levels that range from an affordable work truck to a luxury vehicle, without forgetting the sporty off-roader. Indeed, the Elevation Standard is the most affordable of the current crop of compact pickups while the Denali is equipped with all of the comfort and convenience features that have been associated to the Denali nameplate. The AT4 is the more off-road focused version and it shows off its capabilities by its tough and rugged exterior design.

Impressive capabilities

The 2022 GMC Canyon is capable of much more than its size could suggest due to its choice of three powertrains. The standard engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder unit that delivers 181 horsepower and 191 lb-ft, while the available engine is the 3.6L V6 that delivers 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. This engine is the most powerful unit that can be found under the hood of the Canyon, but not the torquiest. That honor goes to the available 2.8L Duramax diesel four-cylinder, which generates 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft.

Combined with the automatic transmission and the available four-wheel drive system, these engines make the Canyon into a very competent vehicle both on and off the roads, with a tow rating that can be as high as 7,700 pounds with the diesel.
