2008 GMC Canyon Overview

Introduction

The GMC Canyon offers the roominess and ride comfort of a full-size truck with the fuel efficiency of a mid-size pickup.

Available in two- or four-wheel drive, the Canyon offers three body styles: regular cab, extended cab and crew cab. Two engines are available: a 185-hp 2.9-liter 4-cylinder and a 242-hp 3.7-liter inline 5-cylinder engine. There is a choice between five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions on 4-cylinder trucks, while all 5-cylinder engines are bolted to only a four-speed auto. Dual stage front airbags are standard, while head protecting curtain airbags are optional. Other safety features include four-wheel anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights and ignition disable.

The GMC Canyon is a carryover from 2007.
