2015 GMC Canyon - Bringing Professional Grade to Midsize Trucks

Want to see more: Click Here

The all-new 2015 Canyon joins GMC’s Professional Grade lineup, redefining the midsize pickup segment. Canyon will deliver class-leading capabilities with GMC signature refinement—all in an efficiently sized package for customers who want the cargo-hauling and trailering versatility of a truck in a more maneuverable package.

Canyon will continue GMC’s longstanding tradition of segment “firsts.” This refined, capable and efficient midsize pickup truck is expected to deliver:

    The segment’s best horsepower—

• an estimated 193 horsepower from a standard 2.5L I-4 and an estimated 302 horsepower from an available 3.6L V-6

•     The segment’s best payload of at least 1,450 pounds

•     The segment’s best maximum trailering rating (when properly equipped) of at least 6,700 pounds

•     Even greater capability with a powerful and efficient Duramax 2.8L turbo diesel engine coming in 2016

Inside and out, the 2015 Canyon is pure GMC, with a commanding presence and a quiet and comfortable interior featuring premium materials and customer-focused technologies, including available OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.

The all-new Canyon available this fall will round out our three-truck strategy and give GMC the most complete truck lineup in the industry.

Interior of the 2015 GMC Canyon

 The interior of the 2015 Canyon is designed to be comfortable, heavily equipped and well connected. A bold, upright instrument panel with large instruments and a central driver information center is similar to Sierra. A center console-mounted shifter is similar to those found in midsize cars and crossovers.

3.6L V-6 engine

 

 Canyon’s seats are designed for long-haul comfort and wear, too. They use dual-firmness foam for greater comfort on long drives and high-wear, stain-resistant cloth seating trim. A power-adjustable driver’s seat is standard, and heated leather seats are standard on SLT. The All-Terrain package features exclusive color and trim details, including embossed seatbacks and unique contrast stitching.

• Segment-first CornerStep rear bumper design, pioneered on the 2014 Sierra, is standard
• Available segment-first EZ Lift-and-Lower locking tailgate that uses an internal torsion bar to make raising the tailgate easier with one hand, and a damper for more-controlled lowering
• Standard two-tier loading that allows a platform to effectively split the bed into upper and lower sections, making it easier to haul, store and conceal items such as tools
• Thirteen reconfigurable and four stationary tie-down locations throughout the bed for use with available, removable cargo tie-down rings
• Standard bed rail and tailgate protectors
• Available factory-installed spray-in bed liner
• Range of 16-, 17- and 18-inch aluminum wheels

A diverse collection of work- and lifestyle-supporting accessories will be offered including everything from a bed liner and innovative cargo management system to a custom tonneau cover, removable cargo rings, tool box and more.
