With the recent revitalization of Ford’s Ranger, General Motors is strictly focused on maintaining its truck game. With GM and truck brand GMC always producing work-grade type trucks, I have looked forward to testing the Canyon.
My 2022 Canyon tester, an optioned up AT4, was really a do-it-all vehicle with tons of pep in its step. Including two motor options, it came with the popular 3.6-liter Direct Injection Dual Overhead Cam V-6 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, I 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.
