2007 GMC Canyon Review

The 2007 GMC Canyon is available in a regular cab, extended cab or crew cab. Two- and four-wheel drive, a powerful in-line four-cylinder 2.9L and 3.7L in-line five-cylinder engine, three different suspensions, and two pickup bed lengths allow for maximum customization. A number of different trims enable consumers to pick both the price and level of equipment they desire.

Rack-and-pinion steering, intermittent wipers, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and folding outside mirrors are all standard on the 2007 Canyon. In addition, Insta-Trac is standard on the 4WD models. The ZQ8 sport model offers a distinctive sport truck appearance with performance maneuverability, while the Z71 Off-Road Package provides distinguishing visual indicators to supplement its suspension differentiation.

The Canyon is available in many different trims, from the basic work truck to the mid-level SL and SLE, to the high-end SLT, which can range from well equipped to downright luxurious. The SL adds popular equipment like upgraded tires, aluminum wheels, and cloth seats, while the SLT adds the 3.7L engine, a rear sliding window, front fog lamps, deep tinted glass, heated power leather seats, and an auto dimming interior mirror with compass and exterior temperature display. In addition, chrome accents including front door sill inlays, interior door handles, air outlet knobs, small speaker bezels, instrument cluster trim rings are added to the SLE and SLT trims for 2007. Anti-lock brakes are standard on all models.

Options are plentiful, and include luxury items (such as enhanced audio systems and a sunroof) as well as working grade equipment (like recovery hooks and a bed extender).
GMC increased the displacement and power of the Canyon's engine lineup for 2007. Instead of choosing between a 2.7L or a 3.5L powerplant, a 2.9L 185-horsepower four-cylinder or a 242-horsepower, 3.7L in-line five are available. In addition, a tire pressure monitor is now standard, and three new colors-Sport Blue, Midnight Blue Metallic, and Sonoma Red Metallic-update the Canyon's look.

Warranty coverage is increased for 2007, with a new five-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty that's fully transferable and includes roadside assistance for the full period. see less
