Three Reasons to Buy a GMC Canyon Instead of a Ford Ranger

June 08 2021 -

The GMC Canyon has always been at the top of the charts when it comes to power, reliability and versatility in a midsize pickup truck. The Canyon helps owners do more on the job and at home thanks to a spacious interior, great technologies and capabilities that rivals struggle to compete with. The 2021 Canyon is back with even more style for 2021, but keeps its unique features that make it an overall best choice in the segment.

Here are three reasons to buy a GMC Canyon instead of a Ford Ranger.

More performance and choice under the hood of the 2021 GMC Canyon

The GMC Canyon delivers under the hood. With a series of three very well adapted engines, you will find what you need in terms of performance. The four-cylinder 2.5-litre unit outputs 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. But owners may also opt for the trusty 3.6-litre V6 engine which outputs 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers the most power in this comparison with exhilarating accelerations, even when the Canyon is fully loaded.

Diesel power and efficiency

The Canyon also has a Duramax diesel option. It outputs 181 horsepower and a whopping 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine features the best fuel economy in this comparison, with only 11.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.9 L/100 km on the highway.

The Ford Ranger only has one engine. It is a four-cylinder 2.3-litre unit that delivers less horsepower than Canyon’s main V6 engine, and much less torque than the diesel engine. Not only the Ranger doesn’t have a diesel option, it also has less towing capacity than the Canyon.

The 2021 GMC Canyon is more affordable and more comfortable

The GMC Canyon’s cabin is more comfortable and more modern than the Ranger’s cabin. You can take full advantage of GMC intuitive infotainment system on an 8-inch screen, a much more intuitive system than what the Ford Ranger offers.

But beyond power and comfort, the GMC Canyon is much more affordable than its rival. With a starting price of $30,995 compared to $34,573 with the Ranger, it is much easier to get into a GMC.
