Ingenious, Innovative, and Thinking outside the box. That is what GM did when they conceived the idea of using what was available within the 2015 GMC Canyon. The Child Safety Seat fits perfectly in the rear seat of the new reintroduced, redesigned 2015 GMC Canyon midsize truck.
The interior layout is comfortable and roomy
The layout of comfort, and technology make this GMC Canyon a must have for those who don't need a full size truck but want to still get around, and be able to move things. Adding the ability to take the family along for the ride was a must.
How they accomplished this was to make the rear seat headrest a vital factor in the equation. The headrest is removed with one simple movement. It is then inserted into the front of the seat where a specific set of portholes are. This allows for the seat to be extended so that the car seat will have the correct format for safety. (see video)
Traditionally a car safety seat would not fit into the rear of an extended cab truck, because the seat bench is shorter that a traditional seat. There are specific guide lines for a seats width for safety seats and to accommodate this requirement, GMC came up with this design. It makes it so the safety seat meets those requirements and allows for a more versatile vehicle, capable of handling a families growing needs.

2015 GMC SIERRA 3500HD|2015 GMC SIERRA 1500|2015 GMC CANYON
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.
