Pros and Cons of 2010 GMC Canyons
All the 2010 GMC Canyons with 2.9 liter four cylinder engines come with standard five speed manual transmission. The only exception is the Crew Cab model which is available with only four speed automatic transmission. The larger engines are automatic whereas all manual shift Canyons have provision for an upgrade to automatic. Let’s cover the major pros and cons of 2010 GMC Canyons in this post.
Drive-Train
While all the Canyons have standard rear wheel drive, the available four-wheel drive provides a shift-on-the-fly two-speed transfer along with push button controls and optional rear differential locking.
Fuel Economy
The GMC Canyon 2010 edition, loaded with 2.9 liter engine, coupled to 2-wheel drive, boasts of an eye catching fuel economy of 18 mpg within the city limits and 20 / 24 mpg on the highways. However these figures drop to 14 / 19 / 16 as you reach up to the top of the line V – 8 powered Crew Cab.
Pros
The main benefits of GMC Canyon 2010 may be its affordable prices, composed handling on- and off-road and varied engine choices.
Cons
The limitations with GMC Canyon 2010 may be the lack of engine power for non V-8 engines, seat comfort not as expected and overall subpar build quality.
