• Car and Driver: “The Canyon has nicely weighted steering and a firm brake pedal that matches the characteristics of its solid-feeling chassis. We called the last-generation GM mid-size pickups “the best-driving body-on-frame vehicle on sale today” in 2019, but these new trucks improve on that.”
• CarBuzz: “With a single 310-hp engine option, the GMC Canyon’s 0-60 sprint should take between six and 6.5 seconds, so performance is one of its strong points and the old V6 engine won’t be missed. In fact, the mighty 430 lb-ft of torque makes short work of trailering…All trims have a two-inch factory suspension lift and the AT4X is another inch higher again, with 10.7 inches of ground clearance. This makes it nearly unstoppable off-road, and with its DSSV dampers, exhilarating high-speed desert running is on the cards.”
