The 2009 GMC Canyon is a compact pickup truck offered in three body styles: regular cab, extended cab and crew cab. Most models feature a 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower, while a 3.7-liter five-cylinder engine with 242 horsepower is available. These are paired with a standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard with an optional all-wheel drive. Basic features include air conditioning, cruise control, and a four-speaker AM/FM radio, while higher trims like the SLE and SLT offer power features, remote keyless entry, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Safety measures include front-seat side-impact airbags, antilock brakes, and stability control, but lacks some newer technologies like blind-spot monitoring or lane-keeping assist.
