GMC Canyon

The 2009 GMC Canyon is GMC’s midsize pickup truck that is available in Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and Crew Cab versions. The Canyon joined the GMC lineup for the 2004 model year when the Canyon replaced the Sonoma which was one of the first domestically built compact trucks when it was introduced in 1982 as the S-15. The name was changed to Sonoma for the 1992 model year.

The 2009 GMC Canyon offers a new 300-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 engine for Extended Cab and Crew Cab versions, and a new brake system for better stopping power and improved pedal feel. A revised fuel control module improves fuel economy for most trim levels equipped with either the 2.9-liter or 3.7-liter engine. A new ZQ8 sport suspension is offered with lower ride height, 18-inch split-spoke aluminum wheels, performance tires and standard 5.3-liter V8 engine. StabiliTrak electronic stability control is standard for all trim levels of the 2009 GMC Canyon and a series of new wheels are available for the SLE and SLT trim levels.
