The 2021 GMC Canyon is essentially the more glamorous version of the Chevy Colorado, even though they're largely identical underneath the surface. While these mid-size pickup trucks are hugely popular, they're now facing greater competition from alternatives such as the Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator. Unlike every other truck in this class, GMC mar...
GMC updates the 2021 Canyon with revised front-end designs, a snazzier version of the Denali, and a new AT4 model. The latter isn't as rugged as the jacked-up, wide-bodied Chevy Colorado ZR2, but it's unquestionably the most off-road-ready Canyon. Essentially replacing the previous All Terrain trim level, the AT4 rolls on 31-inch Goodyear Wrangler ...
While the new Canyon AT4 is an appealing off-roader that's cheaper than the Colorado ZR2, it's still not quite as capable or as desirable. Instead, we'd recommend the Elevation model paired with the optional V-6 powertrain and all-wheel drive. We'd also want the crew-cab body style because the extended cab's tiny back seat basically makes it a two-...
Of the Canyon's trio of engines, we'd steer you away from base 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Higher models feature a standard 308-hp 3.6-liter V-6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Not only does the V-6 have cylinder deactivation in an attempt to preserve fuel, it's also one of the quickest mid-size pickups we've tested. The diesel four-cy...
The base Canyon with the four-cylinder can tow 3500 pounds and has a payload capacity of 1599 pounds; with the diesel, it can tow up to 7700 pounds and has a payload capacity of 1605 pounds.
The EPAestimates the 2021 Canyon with the gas-powered four-cylinder will earn up to 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Opting for the all-wheel-drive version will only lower its highway rating by 1 mpg. The V-6 engine paired with rear-wheel drive is expected to get 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway; AWD drops both those figure...
The Canyon's interior design is high on function and low on flash. It features an upright instrument panel layout and controls that are easy to reach and read. Unfortunately, the center console is burdened by a jumbo shifter. Plastic toggle switches for accessory equipment on the center stack are handy and accessible, but they look cheap in pricier...
The Canyon's touchscreen infotainment system is attractive and intuitive, with standard features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The screen is easy to use, with rubberized knobs for volume and tuning and redundant hard buttons for quick operation. The SLE model and up have an 8.0-inch touchscreen with a 4G LTE mobile hotspot. The Denali has...
The 2021 Canyon earned a four-star crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but it was not named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). However the previous model year earned a four-star NHTSA rating and it wasn't named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS. It also offers little in...
GM provides competitive coverage in the mid-size-pickup segment with the Canyon and the Colorado. The two have the best corrosion protection and the most impressive roadside-assistance coverage. While complimentary scheduled maintenance is included, Toyotaprovides better coverage. 1. Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles 2. Powertrain...
