2022 GMC Canyon

Car buyers can find the 2022 Canyon in four trims. These trim levels are Elevation Standard, Elevation, AT4, and Denali. Sticking with the entry-level Elevation Standard trim gets you 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and all-season black-wall tires. Consider upgrading to the Elevation trim level if you want body-colored exterior door handles and LED fog lights. Up next is the AT4 trim, which rides on 17-inch wheels and off-road tires. It also comes with a signature AT4 black chrome grille and red front recovery hooks. Finally, the top-of-the-line Denali trim level comes with LED fog lamps, projector-beam headlamps, and 20-inch diamond-cut machined aluminum wheels.

The entry-level engine of the 2022 Canyon is a 2.5-liter inline-four engine that generates 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. It links to a six-speed automatic transmission. If you're looking for greater power, you can enhance the Canyon to include a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This pick pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Finally, a diesel engine is an option for those who desire a diesel-powered pickup truck. The 2.8-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-four engine generates 181 horsepower, 369 pound-feet of torque, and pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The standard engine of the 2022 GMC Canyon allows the pickup truck to tow as much as 3,500 pounds. If you desire a greater towing capacity, you can choose the V-6 engine and receive 7,000 pounds of towing capacity, or opt for the diesel engine and get a maximum towing rating of 7,700 pounds. While rear-wheel drive is the standard setup of the Canyon, four-wheel drive is an optional enhancement. The AT4 trim level comes standard with four-wheel drive, plus an off-road performance package. This package adds performance front and mid skid plates, a suspension leveling kit, a GMC spray-in bed liner, and an off-road rocker panel protector.

Climb into the cabin of the GMC Canyon, and you are greeted by a 7-inch touch screen on the dashboard that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Users can sync their smartphone to the pickup truck to stream their saved music and podcasts and use voice commands to make phone calls and send text messages. For 2022, this GMC pickup truck is available with either an extended cab or a crew cab. The extended cabin configuration features four seats and 38.6 inches of legroom for rear-seat riders, while the crew cab comes with five seats and 35.8 inches of legroom for backseat passengers.

Safety comes standard with the 2022 GMC Canyon. The pickup truck comes with Teen Driver, which is a safety feature that allows parents to set volume and speed limits for secondary drivers. You can enhance the Canyon with available features like forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and rear parking sensors as well. To add, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave this pickup truck a four-star overall safety rating.
