2007 gmc canyon review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. More muscular for 2007. introductiongmc canyon comes with more muscle for 2007. The optional five-cylinder motor has been enlarged from 3. 5 to 3. 7 liters, for 242 horsepower and 242 pound-feet, up from the 2006's 220 and 225, respectively. other improvements for 2007 include a smoother-shifting automatic transmission, a more powerful 125-amp alternator, a standard tire-pressure monitor, and brighter interior trim. The popular 15-inch wheels are now available in chrome; and bigger, 18-inch bright-finish wheels are now standard on the handling-oriented zq8. the gmc canyon and chevy colorado midsize pickups offer roomy cabins. The crew cab versions have back seats suitable for adult human beings. Canyon and colorado are tuned for a more car-like ride and comfort than other midsize pickups. Towing capacity was deliberately limited in favor of a smooth ride and good fuel economy. in short, the canyon was designed to do what small pickups do most: carry people and occasionally haul heavy loads in the bed. On the highway, the canyon feels solid and stable. Even the z71, the off-road model, seems remarkably civilized, and the zq8 suspension package emphasizes sporty handling on paved roads. yet the gmc canyon is a serious truck capable of serious duty. Properly equipped, the canyon is rated to tow 4,000 pounds, enough for transporting atvs, dirt bikes, personal watercraft, light boats or small camping trailers. Because gmc trucks just plain dress better: think dockers and golf shirts instead of blue jeans and tees. The prices are often so close that opting for the gmc is easily justified. lineupthe 2007 gmc canyon is available in regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab configurations. Regular and extended cabs come with a six-foot bed. The z71 off-road suspension is also available with 2wd and 4wd. Seats are vinyl, floors are hose-it-out rubber, and only the base suspension is available. Air conditioning is standard, however, along with tilt steering, cruise control, and a basic am/fm radio. A tachometer and driver information center are standard as well. Carpeting is available, as is a 60/40 split cloth seat and an upgraded stereo 435) with cd/mp3 capability. ls trim 14,310) makes the cloth bench seat standard and adds basic niceties such as aluminum wheels and chrome bumpers. Sle 14,990) adds carpeting, upgraded seat fabric, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and standard cd/mp3 player. Z71 adds larger color-keyed fender flares, p265/75r15 on/off-road tires, a locking rear differential, and, on 2wd models, traction control. Z71s with 4wd get skid plates and tow hooks, and z71 crew cabs come with brushed aluminum side steps. the zq8 suspension is designed for improved on-road performance, and lowers the canyon about an inch relative to the standard suspension. Zq8 versions ride on a more tightly tuned chassis that includes quick-ratio steering, high-pressure monotube shocks, and rubber/urethane jounce bumpers. For 2007, zq8 up-sizes wheels and tires to p235/50r18. safety features include the mandated front airbags with gm's passenger sensing system, which shuts off the right frontal airbag if the seat is unoccupied or occupied by a child or small adult who might be more injured than protected by an airbag. A light on the dashboard displays the status of the system. Gm still recommends buckling children into proper safety seats in the rear compartment of the vehicle. Side-curtain air bags are optional 395). gen 6 onstar 695) is offered only on up-level models, as is xm satellite radio 199). Power windows, locks and mirrors come standard on crew cabs but are optional on regular cab and extended cab sle models 500). A sunroof 695) is available on crew cabs and a sun & sound pa. walkaroundthe 2007 gmc canyon looks very much like the '06. Sle and slt versions now wear identifying badges, there have been some changes on the paint chart, and the popular 15-inch cast-alloy wheels are now offered in chrome as well as natural-look aluminum. And that's about it for changes for 2007. the gmc canyon is aggressively styled with angular wheel arches. Its front end is bright and bold in the gmc tradition and looks mean and menacing, albeit in a classy gmc manner. 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. A slight dihedral at the front outer edge of the hood enhances canyon's aggressive appearance. From the side, canyon looks sharp and edgy, with boldly angular fender flares that rise toward the rear of the truck. overall, however, canyon looks balanced, whether in regular cab, extended cab, or crew cab body styles. All crew cab and extended cab models share a 126-inch wheelbase, while regular cab models ride on a 111-inch wheelbase. Overall length is 207 inches for all but regular cabs, which are 192 inches. regular and extended cabs have 6-foot, 1-inch beds. The crew cab has a 5-foot, 1-inch bed in exchange for its larger cabin. Regular 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. The tailgate can be opened fully (89 degrees) or dropped 55 degrees to provide support (level with the tops of the wheel wells) for a 4x8-foot sheet of plywood. Extended cabs use rear-hinged back doors with door handles inside the door jam. Crew cabs have conventional front-hinged rear doors with door handles that are easy to grip and pull open. ride height varies by model. The zq8 sport models look slammed with their lower ride height. In fact, they ride about an inch lower in front than the standard 2wd canyon, with a minimum ground clearance of just 6. 2-6. 5 inches at the front axle. The standard canyon has 7. 3-7. 9 inches of ground clearance, depending on cab style and the number of driven wheels. The z71 off-road suspension raises the ground clearance to 8. 7-9. 0 inches, depending on model. interiorinside, the gmc canyon feels generously wide, especially in the rear seat of the crew cab, which accommodates three adults far easier than would be possible in the previous generation of compact pickups. the front seats are chair height, which gives the driver excellent visibility over the hood. The rear seats are raised, which improves leg room for rear-seat passengers. Don't expect them to be comfortable, though. The back seat in the extended cab is too cramped for anyone but munchkins on relatively short jaunts. Better to flip the rear seats down, which opens up space for cargo. The sle models are more comfortable, with carpeting and more luxurious seat fabrics. And they've been brightened a bit for '07, with new chrome accents on the interior door handles, air outlet control knobs, small speaker bez.
