How much can I tow in a GMC Canyon?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Canyon’s towing capacity.

Does my Canyon's transmission fluid need to be inspected?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2012 Canyon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
