Initially, the Canyon will be offered with a standard 2.5L inline four providing 193 hp and an optional 3.6L V-6 generating 302 hp. A Duramax 2.8L turbo-diesel will be offered in the 2016 model year.
The Canyon offers a 1,450-pound payload and maximum trailering rating of 6,700 pounds, according to GM.
The truck's three body configurations include an extended cab with a six-foot bed, a crew cab with a five-foot bed, and a crew cab with a six-foot bed. The Canyon is offered in base, SLE, and SLT trim levels. Four-wheel drive will be offered.
