5 Reasons to Test-Drive the 2021 GMC Canyon

1. Test That Engine

The four-cylinder engine that’s standard with the Canyon is nothing to turn your head at, but what would you say to some real power? One of your options with this truck is a brand new, shiny, V6 engine with 308 horsepower. The truck packs a ton of muscle hidden inside it, letting you drive with a force you’ve never had before.

In case the truck’s bed isn’t enough for you, with the V6 engine you can also drive while hauling 7,000 pounds. Now, that’s some cargo space you can’t ignore.

2. Explore Easy Driving

Despite the truck’s power, it’s not difficult to drive. Some drivers find it superior to other recent GMC models in terms of handling. As the truck is more compact, the turning and small motions are much more precise which is great for maneuvering tricky corners and crowded areas. In fact, some people say that the handling is better than you’d expect for a truck of this class.

Sometimes you’ll even forget what you’re driving and go with the ease of driving a car. It’s a truck that’s very much direct to steer, so you’re always in control and feeling safe.

3. Entertain Infotainment

Inside that easily driven pickup, you’ll find you’re not alone. You can connect to the world around you. The infotainment system is now standard among GMC vehicles, as is the large touch screen. Thankfully, the screen is wholly straightforward with large controls and no complex visuals.

Inside the infotainment system, you’ll find WiFi with great speeds, even with multiple users on it. This WiFi feature is great if you need Google Maps, although the infotainment system has its own navigation software. And, when it doubt, ask Amazon Alexa, which is also offered in the system.

4. Bring Your Family

Trucks have an unfortunate habit of crushing peoples’ legs, so they’re usually a vehicle for solo driving, maybe couples. You don’t have to worry about that in the Canyon. There’s plenty of rear room for adults to sit comfortably, and there’s adequate space for child seats. It’s a true family pickup if that’s what you’re all about.

5. Check That Bed

As well as hauling the family, haul the toys and other gear. The truckbed is impressive and has several features that make loading and unloading much easier, for example, the Lower Tailgate and EZ-Lift. You can also lock the tailgate from afar and up close, if you struggle to climb into the bed, there are steps. You can also grab some optional gear to help keep the bed in prime condition, including a spray-on bed liner.
