CUSTOMER PROFILE

For customers who want more in a mid-size pickup: more power, more space, greater functionality and more choice.

PRODUCT HISTORY

2004

All-new mid-size pickup, 2WD and 4WD crew, extended and regular cab models



GMC CANYON LEADS MID-SIZE PICKUPS IN COMFORT, UTILITY AND PERFORMANCE

The all-new Canyon pickup continues the GMC tradition of providing customers with Professional Grade trucks. In the rapidly expanding GMC lineup, Canyon offers an array of powertrain, comfort and utility enhancements.

"The all-new Canyon was designed 'from the ground up' to give consumers more in a mid-size pickup: more power, more space, greater functionality and a comprehensive range of choices," said Craig Bierley, Canyon marketing director.

Overall, Canyon's exterior is both aerodynamic and contemporary. The new mid-size truck is available in three body styles to suit almost any customer's needs, including Crew Cab, Extended Cab and Regular Cab models. It also comes in the popular two-wheel-drive Crew Cab and High-Stance off-road models. The full range includes the option of either two- or four-wheel drive.

Plenty of power

Under the hood, Canyon delivers plenty of horsepower and torque with two new inline engines, the Vortec 2800 inline four-cylinder, and the optional Vortec 3500 inline five-cylinder. Both are based on the award-winning Vortec 4200 inline six-cylinder engine introduced in the 2002 GMC Envoy SUV.

The standard Vortec 2800 2.8L I-4 delivers 175 horsepower (130 kw) and 185 lb.-ft. (251 Nm) of torque. The optional Vortec 3500 3.5L I-5 five-cylinder, the first application of a five-cylinder powerplant in a consumer pickup, puts out 220 hp (164 kw) and 225 lb.-ft. (305 Nm) of torque. Both engines feature electronic throttle control, variable valve timing and coil-on-plug ignition.

Other powertrain features on the Canyon include an all-new five-speed manual transmission; a new transfer case for four-wheel-drive models; and the proven, ultra-smooth four-speed Hydra-Matic 4L60-E automatic transmission.

"These two new inline engines in the Canyon, with their powerful yet efficient performance, fit perfectly into GMC's promise of highly capable, professional-grade performance," said Jerome Thiebaud, Canyon product manager. "Inline technology produces an engine with exceptional power, smoothness and fuel efficiency."

Interior - comfortable and spacious

Canyon's larger size provides outstanding room, passenger comfort and cargo-carrying capability. The Regular Cab model features 60/40 bench seats, in cloth, with optional reclining bucket seats (standard on SLE). The four-door Extended-Cab model comes with two forward-facing rear seats with under-seat storage and a flat-load floor. Crew Cab models feature front bucket seats, available in cloth or leather, and a 60/40-split flat-folding rear bench seat capable of carrying three persons.

Canyon delivers a level of amenities expected in a Professional Grade truck, including a driver information center with system readouts, optional electrochromic inside rearview mirror with compass and outside temperature gauge, and available heated leather front power bucket seats. Canyon also comes with an AM/FM stereo and an optional in-dash CD player. The OnStar safety and security system and XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) also are available.

Canyon provides flexible hauling capabilities with a 6-foot cargo box (5-foot cargo box on Crew Cabs), along with two-tier loading and a locking tailgate.

Exceptional ride and handling

Canyon's all-new chassis was designed to deliver exceptional ride and handling characteristics. A proven ladder-type frame underpins Canyon's rugged, rigid chassis. Rear-drive models have a standard independent front suspension and a live semi-floating rear axle, four-wheel-drive and High-Stance off-road models feature independent torsion bars. On all models, 28-mm front stabilizer bars are standard.

All Canyon models feature standard rack-and-pinion steering, to deliver precise steering response. Canyon's standard four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) was designed for heavy-duty service, with tandem power brake boosters, dual-piston disc front brakes with audible wear sensors, and 295-mm diameter rear drums. Fifteen-inch aluminum wheels and tires are standard.

In off-road or inclement weather driving situations, Canyon's four-wheel-drive system provides added confidence and safety for the driver. The dash-mounted electronic "shift-on-the-fly" system allows the driver to move from rear- to four-wheel drive at any speed when road conditions demand a change. Enhanced power/torque-management traction control also is available on 2WD models. A locking differential is available on both 2WD and 4WD models. Additionally, three rear-end gear ratios are available: 3.42:1, 3.73:1 and 4.10:1.

Advanced safety features

Canyon offers an impressive list of occupant protection safety features. Head-curtain side air bags are available for added side-impact protection and driver and front passenger dual-stage front air bags are standard on all models.

Canyon is constructed with a reinforced safety cage and side guard door beams to enhance the safety of the driver and passengers. Canyon also features high-intensity composite headlamps and available halogen fog lamps for improved visibility.

Other safety features include: a highly deformable all-steel body, standard four-wheel ABS brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, a new driver information center, three-point lap shoulder belts in all three rear seating positions and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system.

The OnStar safety and security system also is available. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the U.S. and Canada. Using the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar services include automatic notification of air bag deployment, stolen vehicle location, remote door unlock, emergency services dispatch, roadside assistance, remote diagnostics, route support, convenience services and OnStar Concierge. OnStar Personal Calling allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls through a nationwide network in cooperation with Verizon Wireless. Virtual Advisor (U.S. only) gives subscribers access to personalized information in a hands-free, voice-activated manner with no screens or displays.

Canyon production will begin at the General Motors Shreveport truck plant in Shreveport, La., in the fourth quarter of 2003.
