Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 185-horsepower 2.9L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
The two small jump seats in the extended cab are very tight, almost useless for an adult. Also, the plastic hardware on the storage boxes is cheap. see full GMC Canyon review |

Five cylinder engine has a flat torque curve. see full GMC Canyon review |

Mine is the 2.8L 4 cyl. It has plenty of power to accelerate onto the freeway and haul loads. Auto transmission is smooth shifting. see full GMC Canyon review |
