The 2022 GMC Canyon 4WD Crew Cab Short Box Denali represents the pinnacle of the mid-size truck segment, offering a refined driving experience that feels right at home in the upscale neighborhoods of Traverse City. Whether you are heading to a morning tee time or navigating the scenic drives along the bay, this Denali trim provides a level of sophistication that distinguishes it from the average pickup. It is a vehicle designed for those who demand the utility of a truck without sacrificing the premium amenities of a luxury sedan.
In a community like East Bay Township, where life often transitions from professional commitments to lakeside relaxation, the Canyon Denali serves as the perfect companion. Its manageable footprint makes it ideal for pulling into boutique storefronts or navigating residential drives, while its robust capability ensures you are never sidelined by the changing Michigan seasons. This is more than just a tool for transportation; it is a statement of style and a versatile asset for the modern Northern Michigan lifestyle.
Performance & Capability
Under the hood, this Canyon Denali is powered by a robust 3.6L V-6 engine featuring gasoline direct injection and DOHC. Delivering a smooth 308HP, this powerplant utilizes cylinder deactivation to balance performance with efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 24 MPG on the highway. The engine is paired with a sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission that includes electronic control and a transmission fluid temperature warning system, ensuring optimal performance even when navigating the rolling hills near Kingsley.
The drivetrain is a highly capable Four Wheel Drive system featuring a 2-speed Autotrac electric transfer case, allowing for seamless transitions between part-time and full-time 4WD. This is complemented by an automatic rear locking differential and a standard ride suspension featuring an independent front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension. For those who have weekend adventures in mind, the Tow/Haul Mode and integrated trailer brake controller provide confidence when utilizing the Class IV tow rating. Whether you are dealing with winter slush or sandy backroads, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and all-speed ABS and driveline traction control work in harmony to keep you firmly planted on the pavement.
Technology & Connectivity
The interior of the Canyon Denali is a hub of modern connectivity, anchored by the GMC Infotainment System with an 8-inch primary touchscreen display. This intuitive interface features integrated navigation and OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, ensuring you can find your way to new destinations with ease. For seamless smartphone integration, the system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to access your favorite apps and media directly through the vehicle's interface.
Audiophiles will appreciate the Bose Premium 7-Speaker Audio System, which delivers crisp, studio-quality sound throughout the cabin. To keep your devices powered without the clutter of cords, the vehicle is equipped with wireless device charging for compatible cell phones, alongside 4 USB ports for wired connections. The handsfree Bluetooth wireless connectivity and voice-activated audio controls allow you to manage your communications and entertainment while keeping your focus on the road. Additionally, the Wi-Fi Hotspot capability ensures that you and your passengers stay connected even when your travels take you away from the city center.
Comfort & Interior
The cabin of this Denali is draped in a refined Cocoa/Dark Atmosphere color scheme, featuring perforated leather-appointed seat trim. The leather front seat upholstery is paired with heated driver and front passenger seats, as well as ventilated front seats to ensure comfort regardless of the temperature outside. The driver enjoys a 6-way power seat adjuster with 2-way power lumbar support, while the passenger is treated to a 4-way power seat also featuring power lumbar control.
Attention to detail is evident in the genuine wood door panel and console inserts, which add a touch of organic luxury to the environment. The heated steering wheel, wrapped in leather and metal-look materials, provides a tactile sense of quality. For added convenience, the vehicle features automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, and keyfob remote start, allowing you to warm the cabin before you step inside. The EZ Lift and Lower tailgate makes accessing the cargo box effortless, while the rear under seat tray and covered floor console storage provide ample space for personal items.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the Canyon Denali, which comes equipped with the Driver Alert Package. This suite includes Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning to help you stay aware of your surroundings on the busy corridors of Traverse City. The UltraSonic rear parking sensors and rear mounted camera provide essential assistance when navigating tight parking spaces or hitching a trailer.
The vehicle is built with a comprehensive airbag system, including dual front impact airbags, seat-mounted side impact airbags, and curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. For those with younger drivers in the household, the Teen Driver restricted driving mode allows you to set certain vehicle parameters and review driving habits. Additional safety features include 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, tire fill alert, and Stolen Vehicle Assistance through OnStar, providing peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.
Exterior & Design
Presented in a striking Hunter Metallic paint, the exterior of the Canyon Denali exudes a premium aesthetic. The front is defined by a bold chrome grille and projector beam headlights with LED daytime running lights. The vehicle sits confidently on 20-inch Diamond Cut Machined Aluminum Wheels, which perfectly complement the chrome door handles and chrome side window trim.
Practicality meets style with the inclusion of 5-inch rectangular chrome assist steps and 2 front tow hooks. The cargo area is protected by a Black Spray-On Bedliner with GMC Logo and a vinyl tonneau cover with integrated support bows. Functional elements like active grille shutters help optimize aerodynamics, while LED front fog lights ensure visibility in the misty mornings common near the lake. The polished exhaust tip and body-colored bumpers provide a cohesive, finished look that is synonymous with the Denali nameplate.
