The Canyon puts on a new face for GMC's mid-size pickup. No more mister nice guy. The black center grille with its floating GMC logo is surrounded by brightwork that extends to either side of the truck. It separates a complex looking array of lights composed of daytime running lamps, turn indicators, and high and low beams. Unlike the old Sonoma with its rounded lines, the Canyon has an edge. A slight dihedral at the front outer edge of the hood gives it an aggressive appearance.Whether standard cab, extended cab, or crew cab, the Canyon has a balanced look. The regular and extended cab have 6-foot, 1-inch beds. The crew cab loses a foot of bed in exchange for its larger cab. Standard and extended cab models have steps in the rear fender ahead of the rear wheels, making it easier to reach and load things in the front of the bed. Extended cabs have door handles inside the door jam in the front edge of the rear-hinged doors. Crew Cabs have front-hinged rear doors with reach-through door handles that are easy to grip and pull open. The tailgate can be opened fully or dropped 55 degrees to provide support for a 4x8-foot sheet of plywood.
