This Year's Model Updates:
The GMC Canyon heads into 2006 with a new option package aimed at improving on-street handling performance. The ZQ8 package lowers the Canyon's ride height by 2 inches, quickens the steering and adds a thicker rear stabilizer bar. It also includes stiffer shocks and bushings and 17-inch aluminum wheels with 235/50R17 performance tires. Other updates for '06 include MP3-capable audio and the SLT trim being made available on extended and crew cab models.
Pros:
- Versatile size, handles well on- and off-road, simple controls, available locking differential.
Cons:
- Not much low-end torque, no six- or eight-cylinder engine option, low tow ratings, subpar build and materials quality.
