- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The2015 GMC Canyon is a brand new small pick-up truck that's easy on the eyes and easy to drive. But how does the truck tow when loaded down at two miles above sea level? That's the core of TFL's grueling Ike Gauntlet torture towing test and that's the mountain that the 2015 GMC Canyon has to scale in this latest Ike Gauntlet video.
How did the 2015 GMC Canyon do when compared to the Nissan Frontier?
The Ike Gauntlet is a timed run up one of America's steepest highways from 9,000 feet above sea level to the top of the mountain at entrance to the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado.

This is what a pickup truck was meant to be doing, towing trailers, climbing hills, all with well-built functionality and ruggedness. Comfort and safety are also important.
Hello Roman and Truck Guy. I regularly tow a 4,800 lbs travel trailer and all our stuff full time now with my 2016 Colorado Z71,4x4, V6 Ext Cab. Over a Cat Scale the CGVW is just over 10,500 lbs. I’ve noticed when I use tow/haul mode I can never get the transmission in high gear. It will run all day if I let it at 65 mph in third gear at 4,000 rpm! If I try I can feather the gas pedal to get into fourth gear for 3,200 rpm at 65 mph. But without the Tow /Haul I can feather the gas pedal to Jeep it in 6 th gear at 60-65 if there is no hill or head wind at 1,600-1800 rpm. But if I try to go any faster it is hard to keep it in 6th! It will run fine in 5th at 2,700 rpm’s. I have kept my eye in trans temp and even without the tow/haul mode the temps in 90 degree weather the temp never goes over 185! On this latest 4,500 mike trip from Massachusetts to Florida, then as far west as Corpus Christi to Waco then I to Louisiana, we have averaged 15 mph!!! That I feel is great! I’ve never been short on power or braking and control while comfortable at all times. I have towed a friends 6,800 lbs boat for him before without trouble! Up the New Hampshire Mountains with ease and safety. Up and down some long steep highway passes. Maybe not the Ike, but still where big truck are lucky to go 40 mph! But we were able to maintain 60 mph!! At 4,000 rpm’s but still we did it!
K. R. V. Thanks for your input on real use of your truck. I currently pull a 5,000 lb 20 foot travel trailer about 4 times a year up to 200 miles round trip with an 09 Avalanche but would like truck I can drive daily like the Colorado.
I'm actually very impressed with the transmission tuning. It seems GM has tuned these better than the 6 speed in the 1/2 tons. It stayed in it's higher rev range to sustain high torque and HP.
That has more to do with the rear-end gear than you might think.
SGTJDerek I disagree. The 1/2 tons have the same rear and they hunt all over the damn place when lugging up a hill.
I would like to see a 1/2 ton Silverado 4.3 tow the exact same load. I bet it wouldn't be any faster if not slower.
farmerallis
Gearing. Not just the rear-end. You can choose what gear you want depending on the engine.
Scott Falkner That's a great point. I would love to see that too.
I find these towing videos absolutely fascinating but I'll be damned if I know why. I have no desire to own a truck and I certainly wouldn't dream of towing, yet I look forward to each new video. It must have something to do with the hard working engine being driven flat-out and giving its all to get to the summit, plus the easy rapport between Truck and Romain. The excellent quality of the video goes without saying.
I was impressed when I test drove this truck today. All I need is to tow my bass boat but still drive it to work in the city where a full size is really hard to move around. I like it
Gotta say I'm impressed, I'm a Ford guy and driver a 2011 F-150 5.0L FX4, but I have to admit this little truck did just fine here. The Silverado in sharp contrast completely failed this challenge, it's smaller brother however, handled it like a champ. Though I do think the 4.3L V6 would be the ideal ''Large Engine'' for this particular truck.
Like I've said before,"No replacement for displacement" 5.3L option oughta be fun
I love your videos. Very entertaining, and fun to watch. I love the sound of the high RPM going up the Gauntlet. I can't wait for the new ford F-150. Thanks for the upload.
That's impressive! GM definitely did a good job with the Canyon and Colorado. My only complaint is that the Colorado looks like an SUV and not a pick up truck. And of course the price. I have a 2003 Ranger FX4 and while the technology is older, it's still a very capable little truck on and off road, but I didn't have to pay so much for it.
Once it's on the market fora couple years price will go down and don't forget about incentives!! Still won't be cheap but not that outrageous for nice truck
Love those old Rangers, tough as nails.
I would wait for the diesel option. Should come out in 2016
zimks Incentives are your best friend when buying a truck!
Rangers are nice small trucks too. Too bad Ford stopped updating them and discontinued them. I really want a Canyon now.
Hey guys big fan of TFL car/truck. Great job on all the videos as always. I was a gm tech at a Buick/Gmc dealer for ten years and what ended my carrier there was working on the gm high feature 3.6L v6 engine among other things. Long story short and no big secret the many problems on this engine, the time they would allow us under warranty to fix it and pay us was a joke. I believe in my opinion thats why the tow rating is a little lower like Mr Truck stated. I really wish they offered the new 4.3 v6, and even the 4.8 v8 as options on these trucks. Having a engine like the 3.6 designed for cars and putting it in a truck for fuel economy is well and good but they have issues. I applaud gm for the 2.8 duramax and look forward to seeing it run the ike gauntlet /goldmine off road hill. cheers
I've got a '19 Canyon SLE 4X4. For a few weekends out of the year, it gets used as a very reliable tow vehicle.
I've got just over 36k miles on it, and there has not been any mechanical issues to report.
I hope they will do some testing of the 2.5L 4 banger. I would really like to see how it performs. Not everyone needs to tow 5500lbs. It would be great to load this up to 80% of its limit and give it a Ike gauntlet run
I'd quite like a Canyon 1500 All Terrain pickup. I test drove one and it reminded me a lot of the '91 1500 my folks had. It just fits.
i love this. i dont know how this would go, but i think they should either make a HD version of this, or bring back 1500 HDs back, those were awesome
I'd love to see this same test with the 2.8 turbo diesel GM is putting into these trucks next year, it will be very interesting to compare.
"I'm a big guy, I'm a heavy duty guy" lol, Kent, you made me laugh at that.
You Gotta Love The GMC Canyon V6 For Towing 4400 LBS!
So basically what we've seen here is that with your usual 3500 lb bass boat behind it you would barely notice it was back there. Seems to be capable enough for what most people would use it for. (...and I'll point out that my older F150 is only rated to tow 6900 lbs. and even though I tow with it all the time I've never maxed it out)
Yea, and most won't be towing the Ike Gaunlet with it. I live in the flat lands, it would never see a grade like this unless I took it on a long vacation while pulling a trailer.
I tow probably close to the lower half of its actual rating and it definitely doesn't work too hard when doing so...
That engine sounds really good for a V6. I wouldn't mind owning this truck.
+Mad Pistol I bought one, its a great truck
I don't particularly like the exhaust note. But it's a very good engine. Especially with the 8 speed auto.
Mad Pistol have had mine 2 years. Love it
Yeah Go Get That Motor! Because It's So Fast!
" Everything you touch is soft; everything you look at is expensive. " !!!! That, Romain, is because of your advanced years, it's something you're just gonna have to learn to live with.
Nathan said 'its a full size truck of 15 years ago' so true. I was looking at 2000 Chevy's and they are about the same size.
The Raptor in so many of the shots is funny - like an old low budget cartoon. :)
I can't believe you didn't max it out! I've been waiting over a year for this tow! Hopefully you max out the diesel version next year!
They explained why they didn't max it out completely. Safety issue but, most owners won't think about the tongue weight/balance the way they do. All they'll care about is the max TOW rate. I know I've had more than one truck pulling over it's suggested Trailer weight, much less it's GVW.
6000 rpm's at 65 mph! I seriously think it's "max point" was achieved, Valve float begins around 5500rpm's
Mike Zaldivar
uh no
+Mike Zaldivar It's not a pushrod engine, you know. Double overhead camshafts.
+Mike Zaldivar what? Not with dohc and 4 valves per cyl! And a red line of 7,000!
The canyon did fine doughnuts in the snow. lol Did good pulling the load to.
I really want your channel to include reviews on the base trim levels as those are what your average truck buyer will buy. Test those base trim levels not just the top trim levels.
Great truck! Waiting for the diesel version before I get serious about buying one!
If it did that well with 5600 lbs, with 3.42 gears, it probably would have done very well with 3.73 gears and close to 7000 lbs. Impressive. I didn't expect it to do this well. No turbo or supercharger to help with the altitude. Impressive.
You mention something about the Engine Brake in tow/haul mode. I don't think the 3.6 is equiped with a engine brake. The engine brake will be available on the diesel model.
Team GM. We will never be beaten. FACT.
There is a you tube video of a GMC pulling a full size semi truck and trailer up a snow covered hill.
I will be happy to have you test stock 2015 Toyota Tacoma for the Ike test. If you truly saying Toyota won't give it to you and you are willing to test it. I will.
I'm impressed! The performance is there and you're not giving up the styling a pickup should have by getting the smaller model. It looks to me like a baby sierra whereas the Colorado looks more like an Equinox and nowhere near the level of the Silverado.
Interesting. Testing this trucks towing capacity with 3.42 gears. I have 3.42 gears on my Trailblazer and it cruises down the highway really well. It doesn't tow the best but does alright. I'm assuming this truck is available with more towing friendly 3.73 or 4.10 gears.
I like how Mr. Truck justifies his fat frame by saying he is a Heavy Duty guy ;) Nevertheless, he is the reason I watch your videos. Great job guys!
Truck of the year
That was the Colorado.
***** yes, but the GMC didn't get the award.
I may get flamed for this, but I'm going to say it anyways. I want to see you test a Honda Ridgeline on the Ike Gauntlet. Honda says it'll tow 5,000 lbs, I don't know the GVW on it. As a doubter, I'd like to see that Honda really tested like a truck.
FYI: We've asked Honda repeatedly for the Ridgeline to test on Ike but they seem to have little to no interests in having the truck tested. We think that may be why the truck has such soft rep in the trucking world. Perhaps Honda doesn't to compete in the small truck class. Maybe Honda considers the Ridgeline as a station wagon without the roof in back. We don't know in 5 years we've never had the Ridgeline in the fleet.
The Fast Lane Truck I'm sure you could just get a fan to let you borrow one then lol.
***** I know Honda is close to revealing the next gen Ridgeline. It's on the website right now under future vehicle. I'm actually sort of curious about it as well. It may not be a real truck underneath but it still has the utility of a bed.
I have an '08 Ridgeline. It does tow and seems to do it just fine, I have towed 5,000lbs with it just fine, oh course you are towing it with a V6(I'm actually towing a trailer with it tomorrow!). But it does just fine,especially when V-tech kicks in up hills. Where the Ridgeline really shines is off roading, the Ridgeline is the best off roader I have had.
crazyjdkid The same goes for the Pilot. On Everyman Driver, it seemed to off road exceptionally well. Especially when he climbs the hill from a stand still.
How many motors did you blow up and have to edit to make it look like you didnt?
In Australia this truck has a 6000kg GCM and a 3500Kg max tow. That is 13228 lbs and 7716 lbs. Perhaps the limits are about protecting the full size trucks rather than actual limits. Maybe its also the reason that they don't bother to make right hand drive full sized.
He gets that Raptor in every video he can it seems. As for this particular truck. I think it would also be a good little truck for a landlord to use for remodeling and repairs.
Hmmmm I like that fact that GM didn't botched the transmission tuning on the Canyon/Colorado but holy mother of Earl that V6 was SCREAMING. Also Mr. Truck is right about the mirrors and I believe they can make them just a tiny bit bigger to make them more useful when towing.
Honestly I think they are just the right size... they could maybe be just a bit wider, however I don't feel like lane changes are made with dire hope.
Quite impressed with that little truck
Looking forward to seeing the new Duramax version take on the Ike - any time set for that yet? Cheers, Patrick
Here's some fact candy for you guys. It took over ten years but Chevy is finally catching up to itself.
2000 chevy Silverado
4000-4750lbs (lighter after rockers rust off)
17city 23hwy with 262ci 4.3L V6 (chopped up 350 small block)
8700lb Towing with V6
2015 chevy Colorado
3900-4500lbs
18city 26hwy with 3.6L V6
7000lb Towing with V6
This truck most definitely does have an integrated trailer brake controller from the factory.
Most these newer trucks will tell the transmission temp if you scroll through the info center. It would be a good to show in future vids
This GMC Canion is basically like doing this test in the gmc envoy you should do a tow test with the GMC Envoy / Chevy Trailblazer / Chevy Blazer/ GMC Jimmy
All these tow tests should be at maximum tow weight. If they can maintain the speed limit at max tow weight then the rating is verified. Personally, I think there should be sea level and mountain tow ratings. I have a 2016 Colorado V6 and tow a 5500 lb TT. Not much fun turning 6000 rpm going up hill. Probably something to get used to.
Back in 2006 when the colorado had an the xtreme trim package, you could get a 5.3 or that inline 5 cylinder motor. Im pretty sure they DIDN'T NOT offer the v8 on the XTREME. But you're right there was never an v8 s10 xtreme.
Man does that 3.6 sound horrid close to redline. The engine drone that thing has would get old real quick.
I don't think it sounds bad at all for a V6. And you won't be chumming along at those RPMs unless you're under heavy load, as they were here, pulling a trailer on an incline.
At that decibel level its lower on the cameras mic than the ear. These trucks are sealed good. I like the sound of that motor.
Issue seems to have been resolved with the new engine/ transmission...
Very impressive. I can't wait to see the Tacoma do it.
The doughnuts u did in the raptor sucked compared to the ones in the canyon lol
So like always it comes down to personal preference really lol. would you rather be 43 sec faster in the GMC with 3.6 mpg fuel, or 43 sec slower with 13.9 mpg in the Nissan lol. Me personally ill take the better fuel efficiency every time. great videos!!!
+Yankee Deer Hunter You know it would be interesting if during each test they have written for us to see the MPG,time,noise and brake temp.Although I don't know how much the outside temp will effect the brake temp.
+Yankee Deer Hunter TFL Truck did not report total average MPG for the GMC, only the uphill portion. So the Frontier did NOT get 13.9 towing uphill; it got that combined downhill AND uphill. The GMC was NOT 10 MPG worse towing especially considering that the Nissan engine is much older, is .4 liters larger, only has 5 speeds, has a 500 LB lower tow rating, and in its Ike test was at or over its rated capacity. On top of that, the GMC is longer (in terms of bed and cab), probably slightly heavier, and still has more towing capacity to boot. One might also argue the aerodynamics of the boat the Frontier towed versus the trailer the GMC had, though there is likely some give and take there. In the real world, I think 9 outta 10 times the GM twins will get better mileage than the Frontier. I still like the Frontier, but it's old; that's just the truth.
These are great informative videos. Thank you.
Is this engine more thirsty than the 5.3 in the same year sierra? Whats got better mpg , a canyon v6 or sierra 5.3? Thanks.
Are you sure your sound meter was calibrated? The sound bothered me just watching the video. It seemed much louder than the F150 or the Silverado.
I love the look of the Canyon. The Colorado looks too much like a European truck. Being from across the pond in Scotland you would think I would like it the other way, but I definitely like my trucks with a good bit of chrome. :-) I am also impressed with the towing capacity of 7000 lbs which is 3,175 Kg in real money. Which to be honest is close to the maximum towing weight in Britain for that type of vehicle of 3,500 kg. I am very impressed with this vehicle. I WANT ONE. Even though it would only be left hand drive.
Why don't they put CVT transmissions in trucks? It would allow you to maintain peak power RPM for towing. I understand that CVTs typically aren't good for high torque, but you'd think they could develop one.
CVT doesn't work with weight. Towing anything would wreck it quickly
I don't think CVT works great with greater HP numbers and weight.
oisiaa As others have stated, a CVT transmission would be destroyed if you tried to tow with it.
I was shocked to see the decibel meter only reading 69.5. Not sure if it was camera placement with the mic or what, but it sounded like it was extremely loud in that truck, and the truck was about to explode, but it obviously wasn't based on your meter, any comment on the sound compared to any of the fullsize trucks running the gauntlet just from your personal experience?
I am a bigger man. I went and sat in one a couple weekends ago. They are just too small for me. I can get the seat back and get myself comfortable but that leaves no backseat room at all. I think I will just stick to my full-size trucks.
I'm curious. Do you think brake temps had anything to do with the composition of the new Duralife brake rotors that GM is touting and using on the Canyon and Colorado?
Can confirm these trucks do good doughnuts in the snow...
The price of this truck (Canyon) and a full size truck with a real engine are not that far apart so why buy this ???????
How do you like the ANDERSEN weight distributing hitch assembly? I'm considering that hitch because of the short tongue length of a vee-nose trailer I'm thinking of buying. Did you have to weld the frame anchor point to the frame or were you able to bolt them on?
Should also let us know the engine and transmission temps.
Both the new Canyon and Colorado are very attractive trucks, but I feel they would look better with a slightly shortened bed length.
Have yous guys entertained the idea of testing the 4 cylinder on the Ike?
Roman, I thought you called Kent a naughty word there at the opening.
Nice video. Yeah they say the 3.6 is a thirsty motor but it's also a true 60 degree v not like the new 4.3. Can you do a tow test with the Ram ecodiesel? That would be great. Also when they come out with the 2.8 I would love to see this done over with that engine too!
Personally being a Ram owner I love my Ram but that's a good looking truck.
Same here it's pretty nice
Roman, how do you like those BF tires on snow? And being that is winter and you are in Colorado do you think you guys could do a winter tire review for trucks?
I feel there's not much info on winter truck tires out there...
Great review on this Baby GMC.
Almost to 1 million Subs!!!!!!
Could you tell me the name of the song that starts at 0:39 ? Rocks!
Hey GM, add twin turbo to the 3.6 or 4.3, put it in this truck and return the GMC Cyclone from the grave.
No. The 3.6tt is a Cadillac only engine and the 4.3L is too big.
Evan Ganske Too big? The last Canyon, 2012 sported a 5.3L V8 engine. These new trucks are way bigger than the 2012 models.
Mike Zaldivar These mid-size truck's aren't meant for big V6's or V8's...
Evan Ganske Didn't have a problem in the SMALLER Canyon/Colorado.
Mike Zaldivar The 14 City and 19 Highway numbers don't work with today's CAFE Standards. Not to mention that the LFX V6 makes more power than the two previous generation I5's and about the same as the previous generation V8.
I'm glad to see the manufacturers start investing in the 'smaller' trucks again but these new 'smaller' trucks aren't that small anymore. These trucks are just as big as full size trucks from the 80s and 90s. What happened to the s10 sized trucks? I miss the Nissan Hardbodies and Ford Rangers. If GM was to bring back another s10 with current tech there is no reason we can't have a truck that gets close to 40 mpg and can still haul the occasional sofa or load of mulch.
I kept hearing that with this truck, a two horse would be better. What about with horses in the trailer which makes it not so much stationary weight. Thoughts?
What size of engine does this GMC Canyon have in it? V6 gas or Straight 4 diesel? You guys didn't mention that in the video.
+Okie Rider 3.6L V6, and 6 speed automatic.
2015 canyon gives me wipe lash up or down hill. But I'm not towing nor did I put it on? Is that normal? Do sent chatter around corners.but rims go up to 5k down hill.
What are your thoughts on towing a boat weighting 4,500 lbs with the Canyon? Trailer is right around 1,500 lbs.
Is the truck narrow? Your arms seem uncomfortable. Im looking to buy one and looking for room.. Its me, my wife and 3 daughters (car seats)
I hope they make the diesel a little stronger cause right now I don't see a big difference between the diesel and the v6
I think most of the people want the diesel for the power instead of the mpg, remember diesel is more expensive and diesel engines are more expensive to buy, fix and parts and most of the time when they break you need to take it to the dealer cause there are not many mechanics so if the difference between the diesel and the v6 is only 2 or 3 mpg and the power is about the same I'll prefer the v6
The overseas 2.8L I4 DuraMax is capable of producing 180HP and 325LB-FT. However, GM will make some updates for The U.S. version and I expect at least 185HP and 350LB-FT. That along with around 21 City and 31 Highway, I'd definitely take the diesel.
Evan Ganske Not even close junior. The 2.8 Dmax puts out 180 hp and 365 lb-ft.
BBTthetank STFU
Evan Ganske Oh looks like you edited your numbers. You originally said 260 hp and 450 tq before changing them to the right numbers last night around 2:30 in the morning.
That 10% load on the tongue is the VERY MINIMUM. Most recommend 12-13%, especially if towing a tall camper trailer. My toy hauler camper has 15% on the tongue EMPTY. Except MAYBE for the F150 with the HD payload option, EVERY 1500 class pickup reaches its limit of hitch load capacity or RGAWR or GVWR before it reaches its limit of GCWR. You shouldn't be surprised that the Canyon does also.
Really interested in buying one of these as my daily commuter to school, and monthly pulling my 2600lbs track car. With full gear and spare tires I would imagine close to 5,000, with trailer, which is about right on with the video; do you think it will stay reliable for years to come? Not a big truck guy, but I really like the cabin and ascetics of this truck.
+Tom Jones might be better off getting an s10 due to price
Could an S10 efficiently tow around 4-5k?
"efficiently" is a strong word, but it wont kill your wallet, and you would save cash in insurance and sticker.
it all comes down to what you feel is "necessary" in a truck. money comes down to the bells and whistles. it will tow just fine.
Where is the DB test????? bring them back??? did the MFG make you guys stop using that?
What about a 2015 chevy colorado z71 Ike Gaunlet Towing Test
Mr. Truck seem to like it, that says a lot. I can't wait until they pull with the 2.8L diesel. GM need to attempt to make a real off-roader with this truck .
Do a test on the extended cab of the Canyon both Colorado
damn that v6 will scream some RPMS. 6800 shift point wow! how long can a high reving engine like that last?
So it sounds like a enclosed 6x12 single axle trailer would be ideal.
Did this have a transmission cooler as part of the tow package?
Why GMC didn't design the Sierra 1500 with those lines. This truck looks really cool.
Hearing the engine high rev for so long hurts me....isnt thay bad to run it that long?
I want to know the trans temp of this run
Hauling a dual axle dump trailer that weighed 4200 with a new RZR turbo s that weighed 1800 I never got above 195 doing 70mph... really impressed..21 GMC canyon 3.6
We want: Ike Gauntlet test on a Fiat 500. Trailerless of course.
This is actually pretty impressive. This thing has more power than my 96 ram 1500 with the 5.9 and tows just a few thousand under what mine can. WITH A V6!
The only thing that turned me away was the $39,000 price tag. I could buy a pretty nice 1500-2500 for that amount. :P
then again engine technology has changed over the past 20 years
And a new ram 1500 hemi is much more of a truck than your 96..
Chrysler had a 3.5L V6 that would make a maximum of 253HP and 255lb-ft of torque, and that would've made a great base engine for the Ram back in the day. But of course it would've made more peak HP than the 5.9 but 90 lb-ft less torque, and I'm sure Chrysler didn't want to cannibalize sales of the V8s. At least they now have the Pentastar V6 as the base engine.
You know GM always overprices their MRSP so they can offer crazy sale ads. Look at this past Black Friday when they had $12,000+ off new full size trucks. Then think next year when they actually have some stock of these on the lots and they offer $8-9,000 off. Does $30-32,000 sound crazy for a well reviewed truck?
Zac Bricker Even the 4.7's and eco desiel are better, and also 19 years newer. so yeah?
224 degrees on the wheel and they didn't brake much? why was the nissan frontier running 124 degrees ?Rotor size?
*****
Anything and everything goes bad on GM trucks I wouldn't be surprised if the ABS was
burning out.
I am actually considering purchasing this truck for my first truck. I will be using it to tow ATVs and for doing small things around the house. I would just like to have your input on if you think it would do well towing 18'-20' foot ultra light travel trailer. My wife is finally fed up with my pop-up. Keep up the great vidoes! Thanks
That's exactly why I'm looking at buying one of these trucks. I'm getting a 5,700lb trailer. What did you wind up buying to tow and how do you like it?
Sounds like you're towing that trailer at around 90!
Is there a way to convert an Ike Gauntlet time to wheel horsepower?
Edit: because I bet that's clocking every bit of 245 at the wheels. What a beast.
a ranger with the 2.7 would be crazy good on gas and more than enough power for a midsized
They really made it look like the half ton trucks
Is it just me or does the space between the top of the bed and roof look really small. Makes the bed look really tall to me. Maybe not the right question to ask but its just something that looked odd to me.
Thanks for the review.
