The 2011 GMC Canyon is a mid-size pickup truck from General Motors. Available in three trims—Work Truck, SLE and SLT, the Canyon offers consumers choice between three engines: a 2.9L four-cylinder producing 185 horsepower, a 3.7L five-cylinder offering 242 horsepower, and a 5.3L V8 with 300 horsepower. All engines come mated with a four-speed automatic gearbox, with a five-speed manual transmission as an option for the four-cylinder engine. Rear-wheel drive is standard but four-wheel drive is available across trims. Notable features include available OnStar telematics, satellite radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. The 2011 Canyon, however, lacks in modern safety features and did not fare well in IIHS crash testing. Car buyers looking for power in a compact pickup truck will find it apt, but those seeking a modern, comfortable ride may need to look elsewhere.
