Top Five Things About The New 2024 GMC Canyon

The 2024 GMC Canyon is a brilliant mid-size truck that gives buyers so much of the usability and technology of a full-size pickup truck without the price and size. No matter what you need to do, tow, haul, drive between jobs, or carry your family around, the Canyon is one of the best vehicles that can easily be a work truck and a family vehicle simultaneously. 

While the new Canyon does many things quite well, we have compiled a list of five of the best features of the 2024 mid-size GMC pickup. 

Excellent Engine

The GMC Canyon features a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-4 that has replaced the outgoing V6. With 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, it outguns the previous V6 by two horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the 8-speed automatic transmission, the Canyon is always in the right gear, especially when towing.

Attractive Interior

GMC has done a lot to make sure the Canyon appeals to more than just pickup customers, as it’s a vehicle anyone can enjoy for every circumstance. To keep it suitable for all, the quality of the materials is some of the best of any truck on the market, mid-size and full-size. The CoreTec synthetic leather seats are comfortable, easy to clean, and can stand up to miles and miles of abuse while still looking and feeling good. 

Easy Rider

No matter the trim level, even in the off-road AT4X, the ride is civilized and quiet. Big off-road tires or regular all-season tires, the Canyon keeps the majority of unpleasant sounds out of the cabin. The suspension and interior soak up miles and miles of driving without fatiguing drivers and passengers. 

Impressive Infotainment

There are a few things you need to enjoy driving a new car: Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, an excellent sound system, and a good touchscreen that doesn’t lag to control all of your music and navigation needs. The Canyon has just that, with its standard 11.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen on all trims that responds quickly with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Canyon also employs a 7-speaker Bose sound system for your listening pleasure.

A Great View

Thanks to the ride height of the GMC Canyon and the 8.4 / 8.3 inches of ground clearance (2WD/4WD) for regular trim levels and 10.7 for AT4X models, drivers and the front passenger get a great view out front. So even though the truck isn’t a full-size model, the Canyon AT4 actually sits higher than any Sierra 1500 model.
