Canyon vs Sierra: Performance

---

In order to haul all of the cargo you need, these trucks must come with some powerful engines. The Canyon, for instance, has three engines to choose from. Whether you’re opting for the available 3.6L V6 engine that puts out up to 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque or the 200 HP 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, you’re sure to have a blast.

In comparison, the standard 2.7L Turbo high-output engine in the Sierra offers:

• 310 horsepower
• 430 lb-ft of torque

If you’re leaning towards a diesel option, you’ll find a 2.8L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine in the Canyon and a 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I6 engine in the Sierra. The Canyon motor puts out more than 360 lb-ft of torque, while the Sierra engine generates 460 lb-ft of torque.

Which Truck Tows the Most?

When you’re shopping for trucks, you’re sure to look at their towing capacities. In both the Sierra and the Canyon, you’ll have a lot of towing power. With multiple engine options, you'll have the pick of the litter with both trucks.

The GMC Canyon, for example, can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped, which should be enough capacity for many jobs and hauling needs. In comparison, the GMC Sierra might be the choice for your biggest and heaviest jobs, as it has a towing capacity of up to 13,000 pounds when properly outfitted.

The GMC Canyon also comes with advanced trailering equipment, such as:

• Hitch Guidance
• Tow/Haul Mode
• Trailering Package

The Sierra has its own equipment, with the available ProGrade™ Trailering System.

Dimensions

Do you want to make sure that everyone can get from jobsite to jobsite? Well then, you might find yourself carpooling occasionally. No matter which truck you choose, it'll be able to fit everyone comfortably.

On days that you need to bring the whole crew along, you might pick the GMC Sierra, as it has one extra seat, giving you a 6-passenger capacity. However, if you only need five seats, then the GMC Canyon will work just fine.

Let’s check out a few of the dimensions:

Canyon		Sierra
41.4 inches/38.3 inches	Headroom (front/rear)	43.03 inches/39.88 inches
45 inches/35.8 inches	Legroom (front/rear)	44.53 inches/35.24 inches

As you can see, you’ll have more headroom in the Sierra but more legroom in the Canyon. So, you can choose one or the other, depending on which dimension is more important to you.
