The Canyon pickup continues as a boldly styled alternative to smaller compact models and unwieldy full-size trucks. It shares platforms and components with both the Chevrolet Colorado pickup and the HUMMER H3 SUV.
For 2008, the Canyon line carries over its 2.9-liter, 185-horsepower four and its 242-horsepower, 3.7-liter in-line five. GM is expected to add a V-8 option to the Canyon lineup sometime in 2008; that engine would be a version of the 5.3-liter V-8 also making its way into the HUMMER H3 for the new model year.
The Canyon is available in either rear- or four-wheel drive, in short-wheelbase regular-cab and long-wheelbase extended- and four-door crew-cab versions. Three different suspension packages are offered, along with a long list of options that allows for maximum customization. The optional ZQ8 sport suspension package includes 18-inch aluminum wheels and body-colored wheel flares.
Changes for the 2008 model year are few. OnStar is now standard equipment, as are fog lamps. Three new colors are offered: Red Orange Metallic, Carbon Black Metallic, and Dark Steel Gray Metallic.
