If you’re in the market for a new work truck, you can’t go wrong with the 2021 GMC Canyon. This dynamic pickup truck comes with all sorts of features that will help you get the job done. Let’s explore the Canyon’s work-friendly features and capabilities.
Towing Capacity
The 2021 Canyon lineup gives you three powerful engines to choose from, each one giving the Canyon incredible towing capabilities. Your first option is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that generates 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, enabling the Canyon to tow up to 3,500 pounds. For even more power, go with the 3.6-liter V-6 capable of producing 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. With the V-6 under its hood, the Canyon can tow 7,000 pounds. Finally, there’s the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine. With an output of 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, it gives the Canyon a 7,700 towing capacity.
Towing Control Features
The 2021 Canyon doesn’t just provide you with an impressive towing capacity, but it also has features that make it safer to operate when your tow trailer is attached. An integrated trailer brake controller gives you maximum control of your trailer’s brakes, even on wet roads and other unstable surfaces. If you equip your Canyon with the turbo-diesel engine, you can take advantage of a diesel exhaust brake system that minimizes the need for braking as you tow, even when you’re driving downhill. Gas-powered models come with a StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control that automatically adjusts the Canyon’s engine torque when towing.
State-of-the-Art Cargo Bed
With the Canyon’s E-Z Lift and Lower Tailgate, loading and organizing your cargo has never been easier. You can remotely unlock and lock the tailgate so that it’s ready to use when you’re ready to get to work. A total of 13 tie-down hooks makes it easy to secure your gear, while an available spray-on cargo liner protects the bed from dents and dings.
Off-Road Capabilities
If the job takes you off the beaten, you’ll appreciate the Canyon AT4’s off-road capabilities. Goodyear Duratrac tires, measuring 31 inches, come standard, enabling the AT4 to conquer all sorts of rugged terrain. An off-road suspension package delivers impressive off-road ground clearance with sacrificing a smooth and quiet drive. Advanced hill control keeps your Canyon AT4 from rolling backward when driving on an incline and provides a seamless descent. With its sturdy shield, the AT4’s transfer case can resist damage from rocks, sticks, and other obstacles.
Intelligent Safety Technology
Thanks to the Canyon’s array of intelligent safety features, you can focus on getting the job done and have a less stressful commute to work. A forward-collision alert scans the road for potential hazards and will apply the brakes if necessary. When you need to air up your Canyon’s tires, you’ll receive an alert from the tire pressure monitor. If your Canyon starts to drift, the lane departure warning will put it back on track.
As you can see, the 2021 GMC Canyon comes with several features that will make your workday much more manageable. Take a test drive today at Airport Chevrolet GMC and see why the Canyon should be your next pickup truck.
