With the recent revitalization of Ford’s Ranger, General Motors and staff are strictly focused on maintaining their truck existence. With GM and truck brand GMC always producing work-grade type trucks, we have looked forward to the release of the Canyon.
On this week’s Grasso’s Garage review, it is just that, GMC’s 2022 Canyon. Wrapped in gorgeous Cayenne Red, our optioned up AT4 is really a do-it-all vehicle with tons of pep in its step. Including two motor options, our tester came with the popular 3.6-liter Direct Injection Dual Overhead Cam V6 engine, offering 308 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Canyon AT4 was ready for just about anything.
As the base price just notched over $40K, we realize that the Crew Cab, short box, model was really a looker, but one that certainly needed to be used and abused. As a daily driver, with runs to the hardware store, it’s obvious that the Canyon AT4 looks good, works hard and is multipurpose.
The AT4 package came with Black Exhaust tips, suspension leveling kit, Off-Road Rocker Protection, front skid plate, spray-on bedliner, an all-weather floor liner and 17-inch black gloss wheels riding on Goodyear Duratrac tires, for an additional $3,195.
The interior offered GMC-type traditions with Jet Black leather seats that were ultra comfortable, a $995 optioned-up 8” color touch screen infotainment system with navigation and Bluetooth audio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and in-vehicle personalization capability.
The ride and low-noise quality was really what stood out in our test. Historically in this category, it’s all about that typical “bounce around” and in this truck, we did not notice that nor the loud road noise.
We really enjoyed our Canyon tester and are happy with GMC and the additions that they have made to make the Canyon a do-it-all type vehicle. Not only is it a pickup, but one that rides like an SUV and has multiple personalities if you catch my drift. We don’t understand why they still use a key, instead of a push-button start, but some still like the idea of a turn-key start up. Nice Job GMC, as always!
