Compact but capable
The 2015 GMC Canyon is a compact pickup that’s small enough to maneuver through city streets or crowded parking lots. Despite that, the 2015 GMC Canyon is capable, whether you’re looking for a work truck, a daily driver, an off-roader, or a truck capable of towing. The 2015 GMC Canyon comes standard with a 200 hp 2.5L four-cylinder engine. If you need more power, choose a Canyon with the available 305 hp 3.6L V6. The 2015 Canyon has three cab styles, two bed lengths, and four trims to choose from, so you can find the truck that’s just right for you.
