2015 GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition - Welcome to Autocar Technology, The
Canyon is the upscale twin to the Chevy Colorado; like its kin, it offers the
utility of a pickup consolidated with a to a degree littler foot shaped
impression. Speaking to current purchasers, the Canyon offers huge amounts of
tech and comfort highlights. Broadened
and group taxi styles and in addition five- and six-foot beds are
accessible; so is a six-velocity manual for base models while the rest get a
six-rate programmed. A 200-hp four-chamber is standard; a 305-hp V-6 is
accessible with a discretionary 7000-lb tow limit.
Six
barrels. That is the thing that we've discovered to be a prerequisite as we've
advanced through the different accessible setups for the Chevrolet Colorado and
the GMC Canyon, General Motors' exceptionally foreseen, as of late presented
fair size pickup twins. The 2015 GMC Canyon tried here has only four barrels,
and it isn't precisely the full-size truck swap for audacious weekend warriors
that GM supposes it is.
GMC
will let you know that the Canyon's standard-issue 2.5-liter four-barrel will
net you the best mileage of any average size pickup, with an EPA rating of 20
mpg in the city and 27 on the expressway. That is awesome, until you consider
the Canyon's (and the indistinguishably evaluated Colorado's) decade-old
focused set. (Another Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier are headed,
notwithstanding and a second-era Honda Ridgeline.) And things decay from that
point: Add four-wheel drive, similar to our test truck had, and the EPA figures
drop to 19/25 mpg. Not just is that only 2- and 1-mpg better than the much all
the more capable V-6 4x4's numbers, but at the same time its not sufficiently
far over the thriftiest full-estimate Chevrolet Silverado and
In
this test we saw 18 mpg, with the 2.5-liter four battling a multi-pronged fight
against the hub of weight (4158 pounds), a six-rate programmed whose overriding
objective was to get the most elevated rigging conceivable, and torque and
strength tops (191 lb-ft and 200 pull) arranged excessively near to redline to
be helpful. For examination, a V-6–powered Canyon 4x4 team taxicab we as of
late tried got 17 mpg, and a Chevrolet Silverado group taxi 4x4 V-6 dealt with
16 mpg. Those trucks additionally happened to be 1.7-and 1.5-seconds snappier
to 60 mph than this Canyon, while likewise offering helpful rearward sitting
arrangements.

Cruising
at speed, the Canyon obliged a downshift (or two) to keep up 75 mph when
experiencing a slight review, and that being said, the motor sounded coarse and
disappointed with the solicitation. Should you be attaching a trailer, the V-6
Canyon can tow up to 7000 pounds, while the six-barrel Silverado/Sierra can carry as much as 7600 pounds. Given that the four-banger truck test we can withdraw only £ 3,500, the other trucks' genuine capacity appears to be justified
regardless of the penance of 1 or 2 mpg.
Truth
be told, we're not by any means beyond any doubt why 2015 GMC decides to offer the
four, particularly given how the brand's estimating structure essentially asks
purchasers to move up to the 305-hp 3.6-liter V-6 that is discretionary on
every Canyon put something aside for the base SL. On the second-rung-up Canyon
(inquisitively, GMC trim-level structure moves from SL to "Gulley"
to SLE, then SLT), the V-6 charges $1235, in addition to the obliged $650
six-rate programmed for a sum of $1885; on the SLE, where the programmed is
standard, the six additionally costs $1235; at last, on the top-flight SLT, GMC
charges only $950 for the same motor.

Being
5.7 inches narrower, 17.1 inches shorter, and 3.6 inches lower than a
proportionate broadened taxi Sierra, you'd think the Canyon would be more
flexibility, yet your initial three-point experience with an opposite parking
space rapidly banishes that confident thought. GMC says the Canyon's turning
circle is 41.3 feet, which, while not as terrible as a Sierra's 46.9, is still
not exactly agile.
Are
there upsides? Of course, the Canyon rides well, in spite of the fact that the
body and skeleton don't feel as ingot-strong as do those of a Sierra, and the
truck is willing to round corners notwithstanding when going at a snappy pace.
The inside looks lovely, regardless of the fact that all the materials are for
the most part flat and hard to the touch, and—by one means or another force
mirrors are excluded on a truck with an as-tried cost of $30,200.
The
greater part of this isn't to thoroughly shoot down the Canyon. Like the
Colorado, trim level for trim level, its few thousand dollars less expensive
than a proportional Sierra or Silverado. Keeping in mind it doesn't rethink the
fragment, regardless of having a head begin on the opposition, it is more up to
date and offers numerous more present day accommodations. Simply help yourself
out and get the V-6. -
