2007 GMC Canyon Review
General Motors has been engineering and building profession grade trucks for a long time now and they claim that everything they have learned in that time has gone into the 2007 GMC Canyon. The Canyon is available in 2 different models, 3 cab configurations, and you can match that up with one of GMC’s standard colors. The two new engines available are both new for 2007. One is a 185 horsepower 2.9 liter I4, and the other a 242 horsepower 3.7 liter I5. Both engines have more displacement, more power, and more torque than is available in any other truck in its class.
The Canyon is known for excellent agility, maneuverability and fuel efficiency. The EPA estimate for the 2WD model with the smaller engine is 23 MPG for city and 34 MPG for highway, and coupled with a 19.6 gallon capacity fuel tank makes this a far ranging and economical truck. Both models are available in four wheel drive, and when coupled with all season tires and with its 4-wheel anti lock brakes, the Canyon is a good choice for an off road truck. A High Stance Off Road package with Sport tuned suspension is available in 2007.
The NHTSA gave the Canyon a 5 star rating (the highest possible) for driver and front passenger protection in frontal collisions, and for rear passenger protection in side impacts. GMC trucks have a good reputation for safety and the Canyon does nothing to diminish this. The payload rating of the Canyon Crew Cab is 1338 pounds, and a large double-wall steel cargo box with a two position tailgate makes it ideal for hauling gear or equipment. The Crew Cab is just as handy for transporting people with a spacious five passenger interior and four large front hinged doors.
You can be fairly certain that GMC trucks are going to have a state of the art option list for their trucks, and the 2007 Canyon certainly does not disappoint. It has been given mostly rave reviews, although some people have complained about leg room for the rear passengers in some models. It is true that you can not please everyone, but the Canyon comes pretty close to doing just that.
