The new truck from GMC fits in size between a full-size Sierra and compact Sonoma. Titled Canyon, the mid-size model rolls out in three cab versions (two-door Regular Cab and four-door Extended Cab plus four-door Crew Cab) with rear two-wheel-drive (2WD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) traction.

Canyon's Regular Cab has a bench covered in cloth and divided 60/40, but bucket seats are optional. Canyon Extended Cab carries four doors and a pair of forward-facing rear seats, as the Crew Cab also with four doors installs a rear bench with enough room to accommodate three adults. Front seats in the Canyon Crew Cab consist of twin buckets clad in cloth or optional leather.

Two new engines of in-line design where developed to motivate Canyon. The base Vortec 2800 2.8-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 175 hp, while the optional Vortec 3500 3.5-liter in-line five-cylinder plant climbs to 220 hp. The five-speed manual stick is new, with a four-speed Hydra-Matic 4L60-E automatic also available.

A rack and pinion steering gear and anti-lock brake system (ABS) score among stock items on Canyon, and options extend to side curtain-style air bags, XM satellite radio service and OnStar telecommunications.
