GMC Canyon

The GMC Canyon is a high-powered midsized truck with a very roomy cabin. It has upgraded infotainment system features including a touchscreen surface that can support apple car play smartphone integration. It is a quicker, more manoeuvrable, and more fuel-efficient option for diesel-heads.

Features

This higher end truck has a massive 369 pound-feet of torque that is impressive from its 181 horsepower coming from its 2.8 litre four cylinder engine.
