2.7L Turbo I4

GMC's 2.7-liter turbo-four makes a V6's worth of torque low in the rev range, giving the midsize Canyon strong, efficient pulling power for work and trail duty.

GM engineered this large-displacement four specifically for trucks, with a three-stage sliding camshaft and active thermal management built for towing.

It makes more torque than many competitor V6 engines.
A sliding camshaft switches between three cam profiles depending on load.
