2010 GMC Canyon - GMC Canyon Brochure Roy Foss Motors

Mid-size truck. Full-size heart.
Canyon may be more compact than our full-size Sierra, but it’s every bit as serious in the technology and performance departments. There’s a full range of advanced Vortec engines, including a four-cylinder powerplant that’s so efficient, it consumes just 7.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in highway driving.* A substantial payload rating and towing capability up to 2722 kg (6000 lb.).** An all-welded steel box with tough double-wall construction and a two-position tailgate that allows you to carry 4' x 8' sheets of building material. And a choice of two-wheel drive and Insta-TracTM 4x4 powertrains. Every Canyon model also features the added control of a standard StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system, along with the security and convenience of OnStar®. Factor in a century-long heritage of professional-grade performance and you’ve got a truck that’s up to virtually any challenge. GMC Canyon. It’s all heart.

Decisions, decisions.
Canyon puts you in the driver’s seat with more choices than any other mid-size pickup*. There are Regular Cab, Extended Cab and Crew Cab body styles – the most in the segment. Z85 Standard, Z71 Off-Road and ZQ8 Sport suspensions. Manual and automatic transmissions. Two available box sizes. And three engines, including a highly efficient Vortec 2.9-litre four-cylinder, a powerful yet economical Vortec 3.7-litre five-cylinder and a 300-horsepower Vortec 5.3-litre V8 engineered to run equally well on regular gas or E85 ethanol. The bottom line? More than any competitor, Canyon makes it easy for you to build your truck, your way.

Comfort, meet versatility.
No matter which cab configuration you select, your Canyon will feature a spacious cabin designed for style, comfort and versatility. Crew Cab models include four full-size front-hinged doors that make entry and exit a breeze. Crew Cabs also offer the comfort of standard front bucket seats, with an available 60/40 splitbench front seat for those who require accommodations for six passengers. Extended Cabs feature seating for five with standard dual fold-up rear jump seats, and both Extended Cab and Regular Cab models offer front bucket seats as an option. Standard amenities on every Canyon include air conditioning, cruise control, a tilt adjustable steering column and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Your trip will seem shorter with the available XM Satellite RadioTM* with 130 channels of crystal-clear digital sound.

Control is what it’s all about.
An artful blend of style and function, Canyon’s driver interface has been carefully designed to keep you comfortably in control. All controls are designed and positioned according to ergonomic principles, and essential driving information is conveyed at a glance by handsome, easy-to-read analogue gauges. Additional data is provided by a digital Driver Information Centre so advanced, it even monitors the pressure in your tires. Canyon is also the only mid-size pickup to provide the confidence of OnStar, the world’s most comprehensive in-vehicle security, communications and diagnostics system.* OnStar can unlock your doors remotely if you lock your keys inside, assist police in locating your Canyon via GPS if it should be stolen and provide a host of other premium services. It’s the perfect co-pilot.

Technology and performance for real life.
Inside every Vortec engine, you’ll find a combustion chamber design that results in enhanced power and efficiency. Canyon offers this intelligent technology in three different engines, all designed to run on regular fuel. The first is a fuel-efficient Vortec 2.9L in-line four cylinder. The second is a 242 horsepower Vortec 3.7L five-cylinder engine that delivers an excellent combination of performance and fuel efficiency. Both feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and 4-valve per cylinder technology with dual overhead camshafts. Topping the range is a Vortec 5.3-litre V8 that generates 300 horsepower and a prodigious 320 pounds-feet of torque– enough to tow up to 2722 kg (6000 lb.). Another advanced technology that’s part of every Canyon is OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics,* a remarkable feature that remotely runs a monthly check of the engine, transmission, ABS, even the air bags, then sends you a comprehensive report via
email. OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics will even alert you when it’s time to schedule regular maintenance.

Canyon is serious about safety.
Every Canyon is equipped to help prevent crashes and to protect you when a crash can’t be avoided. Features in the first category include Canyon’s excellent visibility, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and a standard electronic stability control system, called StabiliTrak. This system is engineered to help put an end to lateral skids and does its job so effectively, it’s been proven to reduce the risk of a light truck being involved in a fatal single-vehicle crash by a remarkable 63 percent.* In the event of a collision, Canyon offers five-star frontal occupant protection,** thanks to a robust computer-designed structure, four standard air bags† and many other features. Canyon even provides serious care after a collision. The standard OnStar system will automatically report air bag deployment to OnStar advisors, who can then dispatch emergency services to your precise location.
