  1. 1 With the Trailering Package: the maker’s figure for the configuration with that factory option.

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2020

The 2020 Canyon against the 2019, the previous model year we hold. Only what GMC’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

  • Added: 12 configurations (Crew Cab Short Bed 2WD 2.5L I-4, Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD 2.5L I-4, Extended Cab Long Bed 2WD 2.5L I-4, Extended Cab Long Bed 4WD 2.5L I-4, Crew Cab Short Bed 2WD 3.6L V6 and 7 more).
  • Dropped: 6 configurations (Extended Cab Long Bed 2WD, Extended Cab Long Bed 4WD, Crew Cab Short Bed 2WD, Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD, Crew Cab Long Bed 2WD and 1 more).
  • Same range as the 2019: ground clearance and length.

The 2020 documents

3 documents behind the 2020 Canyon’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.
