seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual and child safety seat
instructions for more safety information.
TRAILERING AND OFF-ROAD INFORMATION Please carefully review the Owner’s Manual for important safety
information about trailering or off-road driving in your vehicle.

reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, without notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment,
specifications, models and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements, ratings and other numbers in
this catalog and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to vehicles are approximates based

IMPORTANT WORDS/ CANYON
ONSTAR
OnStar is a core asset of your Canyon. Benefiting from more than a decade of innovative
development, it is both a highly advanced technology—fully integrated within the vehicle—
and a warm human service. Standard on all Canyon models are six months of the OnStar Directions
& Connections plan, including the convenience of Hands-Free Calling. It also includes Automatic Crash
Response (see page 8), Stolen Vehicle Assistance, link to Emergency Services, Roadside Assistance,
Remote Door Unlock, OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, Crisis Assist and Remote Horn and Lights. OnStar services
require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available
and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers.
Visit onstar.com for coverage maps, details and system limitations. Services vary with conditions.
HANDS-FREE CALLING
OnStar Hands-Free Calling capability is built into your OnStar-equipped Canyon. It’s there when your
cell phone is unavailable, its battery is low, you can’t reach it easily or you left it home or in the office.
Your Hands-Free Calling system is the right choice whenever you need an easy way to make and receive
calls—at the touch of the phone icon on the rearview mirror. Voice-activated dialing is convenient because
you don’t have to dial when you are at the wheel. And Hands-Free Calling is reliable because it’s specially
designed for better reception and fewer dropped calls in areas of limited cellular reception. You are invited
to experience the benefits yourself with 30 Hands-Free Calling minutes—on OnStar—during the first two
months you drive your Canyon, with no strings attached.
ONSTAR TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
Standard on Canyon models with a six-month trial subscription. The OnStar Directions & Connections
plan adds innovative, easy-to-use Turn-by-Turn Navigation plus Information and Convenience Services
and Driving Directions. With Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you simply tell the OnStar Advisor your intended
destination, and directions will automatically be sent to your Canyon. An automated voice then guides
you turn-by-turn until you arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is further enhanced with eNAV,
allowing you to send MapQuest®or GoogleTM Maps®destinations directly to your vehicle. No need to print out
directions; just call them up with simple voice commands.
XM RADIO
On all Canyon models except WT: XM Radio1is standard with 3 trial months of service.
XM turns your drive on with commercial-free music channels from virtually every genre, artist-dedicated
channels, live performances and more. Tune in to live play-by-play from the biggest sports, exclusive

excellence in Canyon, GM-trained Goodwrench technicians have the expertise to care for all of it.

ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS
choice is power.
For the right level of performance and efficiency to meet your needs, Canyon offers a
family of Vortec engines. Each features a cylinder head design that swirls and tumbles
the intake charge for even, complete combustion. Together with Variable Valve Timing
(VVT), their design provides smooth idling, impressive fuel economy1 and near-peak
torque levels over an extended RPM range.
AIRCRAFT-GRADE
METALLURGY
For low weight and high
strength, the engine
blocks and cylinder
heads of both the
Vortec 2.9L I-4 and
3.7L I-5 engines are
crafted from aircraft-
grade aluminum. This
material provides for an
extremely light engine
that is also very rugged.
MONTHLY UPDATES
FROM ONSTAR
To know the condition
of your Canyon and
its vital systems, just
check your e-mail.
The standard six-month
trial subscription to
OnStar Directions &
Connections Plan4
included with your
Canyon also offers
you OnStar Vehicle
Diagnostics (OVD).
Every month, OVD can
automatically send you
an e-mail summary of
hundreds of checks of
your engine, antilock
brakes and more.
You can share this
information with your
GMC dealer to choose
the service you need
to keep your Canyon
in peak condition.
FIGURE 1: THREE LEVELS OF VORTEC POWER
Choosing the right power for the way you want to use your Canyon is easy. Its engines
are available in four-, five- and eight-cylinder configurations, stepping up in power while
retaining smooth, quiet, efficient operation. In fact, the standard 185-horsepower I-4
engine offers EPA-estimated 25 mpg hwy. No other competitor offers more power with
that much efficiency.2
AVAILABLE V-8 PERFORMANCE
To give you strong, predictable response for trailering, passing or off-road use, the available
Vortec 5.3L V-8 VVT engine offers you 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This helps
give Canyon up to 6000 lbs of trailering capacity
3 and the muscle to handle a lot of tasks
that might otherwise require a full-size truck.
SMART STARTS
Thanks to VVT technology and careful tuning, the 2.9L and 3.7L Vortec engines operate
so quietly, we developed an “intelligent start” feature. This feature senses when the
engine is already running and locks out the starter to prevent potential damage if you try
to engage it.

RIDE AND HANDLING
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN.
Canyon is engineered to be fun to drive with the capability you expect from
GMC. With its bold, wide stance, precise steering and a variety of available
engines, Canyon is comfortable and easy to handle in daily driving, and
just as ready to reward you when the road offers you a challenge.
ONE SPRING FOR
MANY LOADS
To give you a smooth,
controlled ride when
loaded or unloaded,
Canyon features
two-stage leaf springs.
When the truck is
lightly loaded, you
ride mainly on the
compliant first stage.
As you add payload,
the stronger second
stage progressively
shoulders the load.
LOCK UP MORE
TRACTION
For greater traction in
low-speed situations,
Canyon is available
with the Eaton® Au-
tomatic Locking Rear
Differential. When it
senses a difference
in speed between left
and right rear wheels
of approximately 100
rpm, the differential
locks to turn both rear
wheels in unison for
added traction.
FIGURE 2: STANDARD STABILITRAK
For added control and confidence in difficult driving situations, every
Canyon model is equipped with the StabiliTrak stability control system.
If the system senses your vehicle is not responding adequately to
your steering input, it adjusts engine torque and brake pressure to any
individual wheel to help you keep on track.
FIGURE 3: THREE SUSPENSION CHOICES
From work to recreation, and all the places in between, Canyon can help you
make the most of your opportunities. That’s why we offer three suspension
choices with a range of capabilities. You can choose the standard Z85
Heavy-Duty for daily work use, ZQ8 Sport for performance driving or Z71
High-Stance for serious off-road capability. (See page 12 for more details.)
TAKE MORE WITH YOU
Canyon is the midsize truck engineered to handle your trailering chal-
lenges. The standard 2.9L I-4 VVT can pull up to 3400 lbs,
1 about the
weight of a single-axle trailer holding a pair of jet skis or dirt bikes.
1 Maximum trailer weight ratings
are calculated assuming a base
vehicle, except for any option(s)
necessary to achieve the rating,
plus driver. The weight of other
optional equipment, passengers
and cargo will reduce the
maximum trailer weight your
vehicle can tow. See your GMC
dealer for more information.

trols. Your iPod is even charged while connected to the PAL, so it’s ready to

SAFETY FEATURES
ARRANGED FOR YOUR SECURITY.
When you buckle up in Canyon, you’re surrounded by advanced safety and
security systems designed to protect you before, during and, thanks to OnStar,
after a crash. Its high-strength steel frame works with the cab’s safety cage
design to manage crash forces and help preserve the integrity of the passenger
compartment. The multiple air bag restraints are carefully engineered
to supplement the protection provided by the safety belts in frontal and side-
impact crashes. It’s all there to give you peace of mind before you turn the key.
HELP IS ON THE WAY
With OnStar,2 you can get
the help you need, even
if you can’t ask for it.
With OnStar Automatic
Crash Response, built-
in sensors around your
vehicle can automatically
send an alert to OnStar.
An OnStar Advisor can be
immediately connected to
your vehicle to see if you
need help. Even if you are
unable to respond, the
Advisor will use advanced
GPS technology to
pinpoint your exact loca-
tion to direct emergency
help—even in areas with
limited cellular reception.
The Advisor can also relay
critical crash information
to emergency respond-
ers, such as the severity
and type of crash, so the
responders are better
equipped to treat you at
the scene.
FIGURE 5: DUAL-STAGE FRONTAL AND HEAD CURTAIN AIR BAGS1
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger, dual-stage frontal
air bags include a sensor that can gauge the severity of a crash and determine
whether to deploy one or two levels of inflation. Canyon also features head
curtain side-impact air bags to help protect the driver and outboard front
and rear passengers in the event of a crash.
PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM1
Canyon features a Passenger Sensing System that can automatically turn
the passenger-side air bag on or off in the event of an impending collision,
depending on the weight and position of the occupant.
FIGURE 6: SECURING CHILD SAFETY SEATS
Securing an approved child safety seat or booster seat is as simple as a few
clicks with the Lower Anchors and Top tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system.
Built-in steel anchor rings engage the child seat latches to eliminate installa-
tion guesswork and give your approved seat a stable, secure mounting.
8
1 Air bag inflation can cause severe injury
or death to anyone too close to the air bag
when it deploys. Be sure every occupant
is properly restrained. Always use safety
belts and the correct restraint for your
child’s age and size. Even in vehicles
equipped with the Passenger Sensing
System, children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the appropriate
infant, child or booster seat. Never place
a rear-facing infant restraint in the front
seat of any vehicle equipped with a pas-
senger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual
and child safety seat instructions for more
safety information. 2Visit onstar.com for
details and system limitations.
