 2008 GMC Canyon Summary
The Standout Among Mid-Size Trucks
Regardless of whether you need a truck for work or play, GMC's mid-size Canyon more than measures up. There's efficient Vortec power under the hood, and both 2-wheel drive and sophisticated Insta-Trac 4x4 drivetrains are available. The Canyon cargo box is a sturdy, double-wall steel design with a number of clever features, like a 2-position tailgate, that make it both versatile and practical. Payload ratings go as high as 696 kg (1535 lb.), making Canyon a great choice for almost any job. Should you need to move an even heavier load, Canyon is rated to tow up to 1814 kg (4000 lb.) when properly equipped. Factor in a full range of Regular, Extended or Crew Cab body styles, a spacious, well-equipped interior and genuine GMC engineering and it's easy to see why Canyon is the only mid-size truck that's earned the right to be called professional grade.

Keep Your Grip
Canyon's available Insta-Trac 4-wheel drive gives you the traction you need to handle the worst winter weather. It's an electronically controlled system that lets you shift on the fly from one drive mode to another by simply pressing a button on the instrument panel.
Thinking Inside The Box
GMC's engineers put a great deal of thought into Canyon's cargo box. The result? All-welded double-wall construction for ruggedness, 8 cargo tie-downs to help you secure your load and an innovative locking 2-position tailgate that makes it a breeze to carry 4x8 sheets of building material.
