2017 GMC Canyon
The 2017 GMC Canyon is the very latest development in the manufacturer’s long and esteem-worthy relationship with the likes of Chevrolet, yielding not only the best pickup-class vehicles of the year but one of their absolute best to date. The 2017 GMC Canyon changes offer Dayton and Troy drivers plenty in its front-to-back redesign; with significantly bolstered powertrain proficiency, increased payload capacity, and dramatically upgraded hauling, it is an undisputed contender for the title of this year’s best pickup model and a worthy successor to its 2016 counterpart. Read on for the details, then stop by Dave Arbogast to see a previous model in person.

Next Year’s Design
The 2017 GMC Canyon promises to bring stunning new exterior details by means of its Denali variant trim, which will offer a bold frame, curvaceous contours and bright form-affirming accents. The Canyon’s previously optional 3.6L diesel four-cylinder is now slated to be its default powertrain, delivering an impressive estimated 305 hp and 269 lb.-ft. of torque. The V6 is poised to allow the Canyon, when properly equipped, to tow a maximum of 7,000 pounds via its mounted hitch. In the way of fuel economy efficiency, the Canyon’s Four-Door Crew Cab sits at an estimated average of 17 mpg/city and 24 mpg/highway, with an overall average of 20 mpg/combined.
Carryovers from 2016
The 2017 GMC Canyon will carry on the tradition of high-performance horsepower and phenomenal payload and towing capacity offered by its 2016 predecessor. Though the 2.5L 4-cylinder is little more than a bygone memory for the 2017 edition, this year’s Canyon does happen to have carried over one of the 2016’s upper-tier powertrains options, a 3.6L diesel four-cylinder engine, and adopted it as its default standard powertrain. Aside from that, the 2017 seems likely to retain many of the popular features that made its previous iteration so popular, including innovative interior entertainment technology and user friendly dashboard controls, as well as the 2016 Canyon’s defining exterior traits such as projector beam headlamps and signature LED front lighting.
The 2016 GMC Canyon Highlights
If there’s one other defining quality of GMC’s commitment to craftsmanship, it’s that every one of their vehicles is built to last far beyond its premiere. The 2016 Canyon is no different, offering significant value in the way of powertrain options, entertainment technology, and advanced safety features.
- Performance: The 2016’s base powertrain is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine capable of producing an estimated 200 hp and a peak torque estimate of up to 191 lb.-ft. The much-esteemed 3.6L V6 option produces 305 hp and 269 lb.-ft. of torque, while the final powertrain choice in the form of the 2.8L Duramax Turbodiesel engine produces 181 hp and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. The Canyon boasts a towing capacity of up to 7,600 pounds and a cargo capacity of 1,620 pounds.
- Technology: With features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the 2016 Canyon’s IntelliLink infotainment/navigation system sits as an comprehensive all-inclusive media-hub readily accessible via the Canyon’s immaculately sculpted dashboard interface.
- Safety: Safety sits front and center among the chief priorities behind the 2016 Canyon’s design and manufacturing. Automatic Crash Response technology combined with preemptive driver alerts like forward and side collision prompts keep occupants fully aware, while a dashboard-viewable rear vision camera system takes away the guess-work of any tricky parking situation.
