2008 GMC Canyon Work Truck 4WD

Equipped with low-range gearing, the 2008 GMC Canyon Work Truck 4WD can be taken off-road, but should not be engaged on dry pavement. The part-time system, controlled by the driver works even better with the optional Z71 off-road package that features a stiffer suspension. A 2.9-liter, 185-hp DOHC I4 engine rates 190 ft-lbs of torque and is paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. A 3.7-liter, 242-hp I5 is optional. The Regular cab Work Truck is a two-door trim with one row of 60/40 split bench seats, which can be replaced with bucket seats. The 6-foot bed comes with tie-downs and a tailgate that can fold out into two positions, offering two-tier loading for longer objects.

Front cupholders, cruise control, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, a tachometer, air conditioning, and a radio are all standard on the 2008 Canyon Work Truck 4WD. Safety features earn top ratings and include 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, dual front airbags, automatic headlights, a tire monitor, and side impact door beams. Paying a little extra gets you side curtain airbags, foglights, traction control, a locking rear differential, and OnStar service. Creature comfort options include a CD/MP3 player and cloth seats. Lacking a V6, the 2008 Canyon Work Truck 4WD can only tow 4000 pounds, but it does get 17/24 mpg.
