2005 GMC Canyon Review
Little-changed for 2005, GMC's compact pickups share powertrains and a basic design with Chevrolet Colorados, but differ in trim and features. Canyon offers regular-cab, extended-cab, and Crew Cab models with SL or uplevel SLE trim and 4-cyl or optional 5-cyl engines. Both engines team with manual or automatic transmission and either rear-wheel drive or 4WD that has low-range gearing but should not be left engaged on dry pavement. Regular cabs seat up to three. Extendeds come with dual rear-hinged back doors and seats for five. The 4-dr crew cabs seat up to six and have a 5-ft-long cargo box vs. a 6-ft bed. All models include ABS and offer optional curtain side airbags for head protection in all seating rows. Traction control is available on 2WDs and now includes a limited-slip differential. All Canyons use 15-inch alloy wheels. The base suspension is designated Z85. A high-riding Z71 off-road setup is available linewide, but Canyon does not offer Colorado's ZQ8 sport-suspension option. A sunroof is newly available for 2005, as is leather upholstery and a stereo with CD/MP3 player. Satellite radio and OnStar assistance are also available. Canyon's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Colorados.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Pickups offer a true-truck design in a relatively modest package. They are best suited for personal or light-duty use rather than commercial use, heavy hauling, or towing.
Our Best Buy is the Toyota Tacoma. Our Recommended picks include the Dodge Dakota and Ford Ranger.

News
Word is that GMC's newest junior pickup should mostly stand pat through model-year 2008. The same holds for cousin Chevrolet Colorado. A possible exception is a 6-cyl option if GM decides that adding one would help sales. If a six does materialize, it would be the same 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
In daily commuting, 4 cyl is adequate with 2WD and manual transmission, sluggish with 4WD and automatic. The 5 cyl is sprightly with 2WD, adequate with 4WD. Both engines well-matched to quick-shifting automatic transmission.
| 2WD SLE Z85 ext. cab, 4-cyl auto. | 2WD SLE Z71 ext. cab, 5-cyl auto. | 4WD SLE Z85 crew cab, 5-cyl auto. | Class Average |
| 3 | 6 | 5 | 4.9 |

Fuel Economy
No opportunity to measure Canyon with 4 cyl, but test 4-cyl Colorado with manual transmission averaged 18.1 mpg in mostly city driving. With 5-cyl, extended-cab 2WD averaged 18.8 mpg, a 4WD Crew Cab 18.1. Those test numbers reflect mostly highway work, but slightly better those of V6 rivals. GM recommends regular-grade fuel for both engines.

GM recommends regular-grade fuel for both engines.
Ride Quality
Better than most other compact pickups. Generally composed with base Z85 suspension, though abrupt vertical motions evident over bumps and dips, plus some jitter on badly broken surfaces. Stiffer Z71 off-road suspension grows tiresome on long drives.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Slow to react to most steering inputs, but corners with reasonable poise--among the more-agile compact pickups. Good straight-line stability too. Turning radius noticeably larger on 4WDs vs. 2WDs. 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 seats folded. Unique two-way support cable allows securing tailgate in a part-open position, letting 4x8-ft sheets ride atop the wheelwells and tailgate.

Value within Class
Canyon and cousin Colorado focus on the light-duty non-commercial user--assuming heavy haulers will move up to a full-size GMC Sierra and Chevy 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.
