GMC Canyon named 'Best Misized Pickup Truck' by Cars.com, again!

2016 GMC Canyon

We've said it time and time again; the GMC Canyon is the best midsized pickup truck in its segment. The 2016 Canyon, with an available 2.8-liter Duramax diesel engine, recently won KBB's Best Resale Value Award, an indicator that the Canyon won’t just be a valuable purchase but will also stand the test of time. 

The 2016 GMC Canyon is now adding a new accolade under its belt, 'Best Midsized Pickup Truck' by Cars.com. This marks the second year in a row the GMC Canyon has been stacked up against the full lineup of midsized pickups, and been declared the best of the best, by Cars.com. 

In Cars.com's latest competition, the 2016 Canyon went head-to-head with rival midsized trucks including the 2016 Toyota Tacoma, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline, the 2016 Nissan Frontier, and the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. For a second year in a row, Cars.com determined the 2016 GMC Canyon the "overall best option for buyers." 

Here's the overall ranking put out by Cars.com 
#1. 2016 GMC Canyon 
2. 2017 Honda Ridgeline 
3. 2016 Chevrolet Colorado 
4. 2016 Toyota Tacoma 
5. 2016 Nissan Frontier 

Cars.com editor-in-chief stated,
“The Canyon is an all-around great truck. It is well-balanced and confident both on paved streets and off-road. It’s a well-appointed truck on the interior and has some serious ability when it comes to payload and towing as well as overall engine performance.” 

So now you've heard it from us, from KBB, and from Cars.com - the 2016 GMC Canyon is a top choice in the midsized pickup truck segment! 

Still need more proof?

GMC Canyon & GMC Sierra Win KBB's Best Resale Value Award, Two Years In a Row

Across the country, both the GMC Canyon and GMC Sierra trucks are winning over more and more customers daily. The same is true for our Tulsa area shoppers here in Oklahoma. At our Broken Arrow dealership, our GMC Canyon sales increased by 46% from the first half of 2015 to the second half, and our Sierra sales increased by 65% from the first half of 2015 to the second half of the year. 

These trucks are designed to deliver capability with refinement and style. GMC's commitment to excellence has clearly resonated with drivers. But, don't simply take our word for it, the proof is in the ever expanding list of awards and accolades the GMC Canyon and GMC Sierra continue to pile up. 

Earlier this year, the GMC Canyon won Cars.com Midsize Pickup Challenge for its segment-leading capabilities and efficiency. The mid-sized truck was also awarded Autoweek's “Best of the Best Truck for 2015,” and WardsAuto recognized the Canyon as one of its 10 Best Interiors for 2015. While the 2015 GMC Sierra 3500HD won Cars.com "Ultimate Heavy Duty Challenge," a comprehensive test of one-ton diesel dually trucks, revealing Sierra 3500 HD winner over both the Ford F-350 and Ram 3500. 

We're pleased to announce another award to add these trucks’ list of credentials. Both the GMC Canyon and Sierra are again being recognized among the Top 10 in Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards. It’s the second consecutive year both GMC models have been ranked in the Top 10. 

Kelley Blue Book 2016 Official Residual Value Guide predicts Canyon and Sierra will retain the highest percentage of their original suggested retail prices over the first five years of ownership. 

GMC's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Duncan Aldred, had the following to say about the trucks' accomplishment, "This recognition affirms everything this brand stands for and provides greater assurance for our customers that they’ve made a smart choice investing in GMC." 

2016 GMC Sierra Denali

The 2016 GMC Sierra rolled off the lot with a refreshed exterior appearance and offers our Tulsa area shoppers new engineering features, such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Available Tri-Mode Power Steps, and advanced safety features, such as Lane Keep Assist.

GMC Canyon Diesel: Coming soon to the Tulsa Metro!

Well, it's official folks! Our new truck shoppers will soon be able to purchase the 2016 Canyon fitted with a diesel engine! There had been rumors swirling since the release of the all-new GMC Canyon, back in 2015. Now we know, a diesel mid-sized truck from GMC will soon be a reality, and it was on the books from the start. 

“A diesel engine was part of the Canyon’s portfolio plan from the beginning, meaning the chassis, suspension and other elements of its architecture were engineered to support it,” said Scott Yackley, assistant chief engineer. 

The 2016 GMC Canyon diesel will be fitted with a the new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine. The new Duramax diesel takes the GMC Canyon's award-winning capabilities to a new level in the mid-sized truck segment. The engine gives the GMC Canyon a powerful advantage over the competition with 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The 2016 GMC Canyon diesel will be able to tow up to 7,700 pounds thanks to an all-new powertrain - expanding the trucks class-leading capabilities even more. 

Several new technologies and supporting features complement the Duramax diesel’s capability while helping ensure GMC’s trademark refinement: 

• A new, electronically controlled two-speed transfer case on 4WD models  
• An all-new integrated trailer brake controller is standard and exclusive on diesel models  
• Smart diesel exhaust brake system that enhances vehicle control and reduces brake wear on steep grades  
• Standard Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission matched with a Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber in the torque converter, which reduces powertrain noise and vibration 

In addition, the 2016 Canyon offers technologies and connectivity features such as GMC IntelliLink with new phone integration technology – and Apple CarPlay capability – OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot, Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning. 

Additional engine features: 

• B20 bio-diesel capability  
• Common rail direct injection fuel system  
• 16.5:1 compression ratio  
• Piston-cooling oil jets  
• Forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods  
• Iron cylinder block and aluminum DOHC cylinder head  
• Balance shaft that contributes to smoothness and drives the oil pump  
• Ceramic glow plugs for shorter heat-up times and higher glow temperatures 
• Laminated steel oil pan with upper aluminum section that contributes to engine rigidity and quietness  
• Oiling circuit that includes a dedicated feed for the turbocharger to provide increased pressure at the turbo and faster oil delivery 

Of course with Volkswagen’s diesel engine Environmental Protection Agency emission test cheating fallout, the new 2016 GMC Canyon diesel will have to be put through a new, more rigorous test from the EPA, but we're confident the mid-sized pickup will pass the test with flying colors; and so is GMC stating, "The Duramax 2.8L is the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by GM and meets some of the toughest U.S. emissions standards, thanks in part to a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system." 

The new 2016 GMC Canyon diesel will offer our Oklahoma truck enthusiasts exceptional capability delivered with a confident feeling of control. It's expected to arrive at our Tulsa Metro, Buick GMC dealership later this year.

The award is based on Wards Auto, automotive trade publication, evaluation of 42 new U.S.-market vehicle interiors and their rankings of elements such as comfort, materials, value, design harmony, fit-and-finish, and ergonomics. 

Details such as authentic aluminum trim, soft-tough materials, high-quality stitching, and 4G LTE capabilities impressed the automotive publication. Other features found on the 2015 GMC Canyon, such as multiple USB ports and seats designed for long-haul comfort are thoughtful elements that are essential for active-lifestyle customers. Whether drivers are navigating through Tulsa city traffic or enjoying adventures in Oklahoma's back country, the interior was carefully considered to suit your needs. 

GMC Canyon Wins Cars.com Midsize Pickup Challenge 

The all-new GMC Canyon was the top pick by the editors of Cars.com in a midsize pickup comparison test. The '15 Canyon, along with other mid-sized trucks, were tested for a range of capabilities, including value, ride quality, off-road capability, seating and ergonomics, tech and entertainment, and performance. Additionally, a pickup truck shopper unaffiliated with Cars.com tested each of the trucks for overall ride, comfort and features. 

The Canyon’s premium design, materials, and quiet cabin make it a maneuverable solution for customers who want the capability of a pickup with the modern amenities customers expect from GMC. Canyon’s cabin is comfortable, exceptionally quiet, precisely crafted, and designed to the highest standards. One look inside and it’s clear why this truck is the only premium midsize pickup worthy of all these awards and accolades. 

GMC Canyon is Autoweek’s Best of the Best Truck 

In addition to winning Cars.com Midsize pickup challenge and being named a Ward's 10 Best Interiors for 2015, the all-new Canyon also claimed Autoweek's Best of the Best Truck Autoweek evaluates eight vehicle finalists for top value, build quality, design, and performance to distinguish which truck is the "Best of the Best." 

“Of the hundreds of vehicles Autoweek tests each year, only a relative few truly stand out from the rest,” said Autoweek editor Wes Raynal. 

The GMC Canyon is not only one of the best new vehicles on the market, it’s one of the most important, signaling an exciting return to the mid-sized truck segment. So if you're looking for the cream-of-the-crop in the midsized truck segment, you want the 2015 GMC Canyon.
