2010 GMC Canyon
Looking for a vehicle that’s both practical and fun? Come no further than Harbor Cars, with two convenient Buick GMC dealers located in Michigan City and Portage, Indiana. At both of these locations, you’ll find the 2010 GMC Canyon, a truck you can customize to your heart’s content.
The 2010 GMC Canyon is GMC’s midsize truck that provides a customizable blend of practical and fun. There are all kinds of choices for you with Canyon, from choosing the perfect drivetrain, configurations, and just the right trim. The Canyon starts off with a four-cylinder engine that’s one of the most powerful in it’s class, or you can take it further by choosing a V-8 engine that yields 300 horsepower.
Canyon’s engine comes in three different Vortec configurations. A Vortec engine works to increase performance by functioning in a way that improves the air / fuel mixture within. Canyon comes standard with a 2.9L I-4 engine with Variable exhaust Valve Timing (VVT). The VVT helps with Canyon’s great fuel economy (capable of 18 city / 25 highway for the 2WD Crew Cab) and smooth idling. Next in line is the Vortec 3.7L I-5 VVT engine, which gives you the power of a V-6 engine with the great fuel efficiency of a five-cylinder inline engine. Add on an automatic transmission that functions impressively quietly to the Canyon Extended or the Crew Cab and you can start trailering up to 5500lbs. At the top, you have Canyon’s available Votrec 5.3L V-8 engine, and a V-8 engine isn’t something you can always find on a compact pickup truck. Choose this option, though, and get the power you need to trailer up to 6000lbs.
To complete your customized engine, Canyon comes standard with one year of OnStar’s Safe & Sound plan. This includes Vehicle Diagnostics, which performs hundreds of checks on your antilock brakes, transmission, engine, and more. You’ll get an e-mail each month summarizing the results of these tests.
The 2010 GMC Canyon was also built for great stability and handling. All models come standard with the StabiliTrak control system and traction control. StabiliTrak works by reading a number of variables (the position of your steering wheel, turning rate, lateral acceleration, vehicle speed, and brake pressure) and sends information on each to an onboard computer. The computer can tell if your vehicles isn’t responding properly and adjust accordingly by adjusting an individual wheel’s brake pressure or adjusting your engine’s torque. This helps you stay on track when rough road conditions come up. The Canyon also has a number of different suspension options that give you remarkable payload capabilities coupled with a nice smooth ride. Engineers are able to fine-tune the ride of your Canyon, including Heavy-Duty, Sport (with a V-8 engine), and High-Stance Off-Road.
Even with all that fun and power to choose from, Canyon doesn’t forget the details on the inside. Canyon’s roomy interior was designed to be comfortable, quiet, and convenient. An XM radio comes standard on SLE and SLT models. Solar-Ray tinted glass not only makes your Canyon look cool on the outside, but also keep cool on the inside on hot days. Want to take comfort to the next luxurious level? Heated leather-appointed front seating comes standard on the SLT Crew Cab model. There are also plenty or storage features on the Canyon, from a generous-sized cargo box with standard bedliner and four anchors, to storage containers built in under the seats in the Canyon Extended Cab.
The 2010 GMC Canyon isn’t the only GMC vehicle that can be customized to your needs. GMC offers a full line of vehicles that come with a number of different options, so you’re certain to find a new GMC vehicle that suits your needs. If you’re looking for a crossover, GMC offers the Acadia and Terrain. For a full-sized SUV, there’s the Yukon. For trucks, GMC has the Sierra and Canyon. There’s also the full-sized van, Savana.
