The 2008 GMC Canyon 4WD pickup truck comes in your choice of 24 different trims.
Regular, extended and crew cab designs offer smooth-riding transportation for
everyone in the family or on your work crew. These trucks were designed to do
what people use mid-sized pickups for: carrying passengers and occasionally
transporting heavy loads in their beds. You'll have no problems getting your
ATVs, motorcycles and watercraft to your fun spots in one of these new GMCs.
Regardless of the trim that you choose, the ride is smooth. These Canyons feels
solid and lack rattles shakes and strange noises. You'll have a blast driving
them off-road too! Their optional 4WD systems work consistently and durably. You
can switch into 4WD high gear on the move, but need to stop and be in neutral
for the low gear switch.
The 2008 Canyons are designed with a respectable number of safety features
including standard anti-lock brakes, as is its competitor, the Dodge Dakota.
When you have to slam on the brakes, there is a modulator which allows the
wheels to continue to spin somewhat, making it possible to continue steering
during the stop. Your family's safety is further enhanced by front airbags on
both the driver and passenger sides. In addition, there are seatbelt
pretensioners that automatically sense collision conditions and adjust your
belts for optimal safety.
There's an awesome theft deterrent system as well on these GMC Canyons. If the
key from the manufacturer is not used to attempt to start the engine, there is
an automatic disabler that will not allow ignition. The NHTSA crash test ratings
for the Canyon ranked 4 out of 5 stars of safety for both driver and passenger
front crashes. Fuel efficiency isn't stellar, but definitely stands up to its
competitors offering you 18 miles per gallon of fuel while cruising the cities
and 21 on the highways. There's plenty of roominess in the Canyons as well. They
feel almost like riding in a full-sized truck.
With 24 trims to choose from, you can custom order just the look and style of
the GMC Canyon that you dream up. Somewhere in those trims is the Canyon that
has every spec and detail that is on your list. From work trucks with no-foul
interiors to luxurious family models with plush carpeting and classy leather,
they are all represented.
The Canyon, along with every competitor that it has in its class, offers a 36
month/ 36,000 mile basic warranty. It also offers the strongest engine in the
class: a 2.9L 185hp I4. The transmission is a 5-speed manual overdrive and
delivers plenty of high-revving torque. Overall, the 2008 GMC Canyon 4WD is a
roomy, comfortable, solid-running, heavy-hauling and tough truck designed for
safety and dependability. Consumer ratings are high and the experts agree with
them.
