For impressive refinement with near-peak levels of torque over a wide
range of driving speeds, GMC Canyon offers a family of vortec engines.
their name comes from a design that helps to create a vortex of fuel and
air inside the engine for complete, even combustion and the power to
handle almost any task.

4-speed AutoMAtiC with oVeRdRiVe Standard on extended Cab and
Crew Cab models, this transmission is designed for smooth, almost
imperceptible shifts. built with the strength of millions of miles of
experience, it's engineered for durability and control.
5-speed MANuAl with oVeRdRiVe to help you get the most response
and performance from your vortec engine, this transmission is standard
with the i-4 in regular Cab 2WD Wt models to give you complete gear
selection control and the pleasure of shifting for yourself. Low gear is
"deep" for pulling away smoothly on a grade or when fully loaded, while
the overdrive fifth gear drops engine rpm on the highway to reduce noise
and stretch your fuel farther.

VARiAble VAlVe tiMiNG (VVt) this gives you the power of a high-
performance engine with the low-speed response you need for situations
such as trailering or climbing steep inclines. this technology constantly
monitors and changes how the valves open and close to give you near-peak
levels of torque across a wide range of engine speeds.

knowing the condition of your Canyon's key systems is as easy as checking
your e-mail. the onStar vehicle Diagnostics service that comes standard
with your 6-month trial subscription to onStar can run hundreds of checks
of your Canyon's engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more, then
organize the information into an easy-to-read monthly report. onStar can
also run a check of your vehicle as you drive just by pressing the blue
button and asking the advisor for an on-Demand Diagnostics check.
that's peace of mind when you need it.

body-oN-fRAMe desiGN For the strength to do many of the jobs that would
otherwise require a full-size pickup, Canyon has a high-strength steel ladder-
type chassis. not only can it withstand heavy loads, it is capable of absorbing
the constant punishment of daily use and helps to isolate the cab from bumps
and road shocks.
diNGhy-towiNG CApAbility it's easy to take your 4WD Canyon with you
on your next rv vacation. Canyon only requires that you shift the transfer
case into neutral, hitch up and go. other items may be required for safe
towing; see your dealer for details.
eAtoN® AutoMAtiC loCkiNG ReAR diffeReNtiAl Make the most
of the available traction, and do more with your Canyon than you ever
thought possible with the automatic locking rear differential. an available
feature exclusive to GM vehicles, the differential locks to send all of the
engine's available torque to the driven wheels for maximum driving force
in virtually any situation.
fully iNdepeNdeNt fRoNt suspeNsioN For a stable, smooth ride and
maximum maneuverability, Canyon features a fully independent front
suspension in every model. Canyon 2WD models use the strong and
compact coil-over-shock system that steps through bumps and potholes;
4WD models use an innovative torsion bar independent front suspension.
MultileAf ReAR spRiNGs For big capacity when you need it and
a smooth ride when you don't, all Canyon models are engineered with
multileaf rear springs. they engage progressively as the load in the bed
or on the trailer increases, giving you a stable ride and a constant level
of ride comfort.
stAbilitRAk stAbility CoNtRol systeM to help you stay in control
when the road is loose, snowy, icy, wet or uneven, Stabilitrak uses a network
of vehicle sensors to monitor how well your Canyon is responding to your
steering commands. if the system determines your vehicle is not
responding properly, it can pulse the brakes or reduce engine power to
help you stay on the path being steered.

tRACtioN CoNtRol systeM to make the most of available traction on
many road surfaces, traction control measures and compares the speed of
your wheels. if it senses one or more wheels starting to spin, such as on a
slippery surface, the system applies individual brakes and manages engine
power to slow the wheel down and maintain traction, so you can move
forward with a better sense of control.
