What’s new

　　The Canyon is an all-new compact pickup from GMC.

　　

zzdcar says

　　It has the size, the features and the looks necessary to become the dominant truck in the compact class -- just don't mistake it for a midsize.

Vehicle overview

　　This all-new version will sport a larger overall size and a new range of four- and five-cylinder engines derived from the 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder currently sold in the TrailBlazer SUV. Expect standard, extended and crew-cab body styles and an interior that draws heavily from the GM corporate parts bin.
