GMC Canyon truck

The GMC Canyon (pictured at right) are General Motors' new compact pickup truck, replacing the Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma in 2004. Isuzu, which helped design the truck, will begin selling a version of the truck in late 2005 named the "i-Series". The Chevrolet Colorado was jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu, based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3 . The vehicles are manufactured and produced in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The GMC Canyon offer both manual and automatic transmissions. General Motors also offers either a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain with standard, extended, and four-door crewcab bodystyles. Most models come with the 2.8 L LK5 I4 engine as standard, but a more powerful 3.5 L L52 I5 comes with the Z71 package on 4-door versions and is optional on all others. The 4-door Z71s also get the 4-speed automatic transmission standard. This package was later dropped in favor of LT2 and LT3.

Also a ZQ8 edition is available with a lower and more road-tuned "sport" suspension than the standard Z85 and comes with 17 inch wheels, color matched bumper and grill, and low profile fender flares. Also there is an Xtreme edition of the ZQ8 which has a different front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fender flares, grill, headlights, and 18 inch wheels.
