2004 GMC Canyon Review
GM introduces its new family of compact pickup trucks with the 2004 GMC Canyon and its Chevrolet Colorado sibling. Canyon is slightly larger than the GMC Sonoma it replaces and comes in regular-, extended-, and crew-cab body styles. Canyon and Colorado have separate trim details but share a platform and two new GM truck engines. Supplanting a 120-hp 2.2 liter as the base 4 cyl is a 175-hp 2.8. A 190-hp 4.3-liter V6 is replaced by a 220-hp 3.5-liter inline 5 cyl. Both new engines have dual overhead cams vs. overhead valves and team with manual or automatic transmission. Both are available with rear-wheel drive or with 4WD that has low-range gearing but must be disengaged on dry pavement. Canyon's regular cab seats up to three. Its extended cab comes with dual rear-hinged back doors and seats for five. The 4-dr Crew Cab seats up to six. The Crew Cab has a 5-ft-long cargo box, the other models a 6-ft bed. ABS is standard. Available for the first time on a GM pickup are head-protecting curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows. Available on all body styles and with 2WD and 4WD is the optional Z71 off-road suspension, which adds elevated ground clearance. Canyon does not offer Colorado's ZQ8 sport-suspension option. All Canyons have 15-inch wheels and are available with a limited-slip rear differential. Traction control is a new option for 2WD versions. Also available are heated leather seats, OnStar assistance, and satellite radio. Sold alongside Canyon for the '04 model year are heldover GMC Sonoma Crew Cabs. Canyon's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Colorados.
News
Like cousin Chevy Colorado, GMC's newest junior pickup shouldn't change much for a few years. A possible exception is the addition of a 6-cyl option if GMC thinks adding one would help sales. If a six does materialize, it would be the 4.2-liter inline unit available in midsize GM SUVs and which shares the basic engineering of Canyon's 4- and 5-cyl engines.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
For anything but daily commuting, 4 cyl is underpowered--especially with 4WD and automatic transmission. The 5 cyl is spritely with 2WD, adequate with 4WD. Both engines well-matched to quick-shifting automatic transmission. No opportunity yet to test with manual transmission.
| SLE Z85 ext. cab 2WD, 4-cyl auto. | SLE Z71 ext. cab 2WD, 5-cyl auto. | SLE Z85 crew cab 4WD, 5-cyl auto. | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
Extended-cab 2WD 5 cyl averaged 18.8 mpg. Crew Cab 4WD 5 cyl averaged 18.1. Though both were driven mostly highway miles, test fuel economy still slightly better than V6 rivals'. No opportunity to measure with 4 cyl. Chevrolet recommends regular-grade fuel for both engines.

Ride Quality
Overall, better than most any other compact pickup. Still evident, however, are abrupt vertical motions over bumps and dips, with some jittery feel on badly broken surfaces. Otherwise composed. Z85 (base) suspension furnishes best ride. Stiffer Z71 (off-road) suspension grows tiresome on long drives.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Slow to react to most steering inputs, but Canyon corners with reasonable poise. Overall, among the more-agile compact pickups. Good straight-line stability. 4WD models have noticeably larger turning radius than 2WD versions. Brakes provide quick, even stops with good pedal feel.

Quietness
Less wind and road noise than most competitors, though highway wind rush prominent around doors of extended and crew models. GM's 5-cyl engine louder, coarser than rivals' V6s; 4 cyl par for the class.

Controls
Audio/climate controls simple to use, clearly marked. Gauges easy to read, but some digital readouts wash out in direct sunlight. Interior materials and fit-and-finish above average for the class. Still, some test models had a few squeaks and rattles from the dashboard area.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Lots of leg and head room; seats adequately comfortable for long drives. Middle seat for occasional use only.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Extended cab's rear seat best suits preteens; adults lack leg room even if front seats pushed well forward. Crew cab somewhat more spacious, but leg room still no better than a subcompact sedan's. On both, rear seats hard and undersized, and entry/exit difficult through small door openings.

Cargo Room
Interior storage limited on regular cabs, good on extended and crew cabs with rear seats folded. Unique dual-position support cable allows tailgate to be secured partially open, permitting 4x8 sheets to be carried atop wheelwells with support from tailgate.

Value within Class
GMC's Canyon and its Chevy Colorado companion focus on the light-duty non-commercial user--assuming heavy haulers will move up to the full-size Sierra and Silverado. Given that mission, these are useful, well-balanced small trucks. List prices are fairly steep, however, so don't buy without a substantial discount.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

| Side Impact, Driver | NA | NA | 4 |

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
