The GMC Canyon Denali 4×4 is a less common choice for overland builds on our forum, which is a surprise considering its plethora of benefits. This capable mid-size 4WD truck showcases desirable all-terrain features (listed below) and provides a 1,559-pound max payload and up to a 7,600 towing capacity. In addition, while the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel is not the most powerful, it does offer excellent economy, with some owners reporting up to 30 mpg on the highway. If you’d like a better idea of this vehicle’s capability, then check out the field tests from TFL Offroad and Kal1fornia. Furthermore, thanks to a generous payload (considerably more than the 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s 1,440-pound max payload), it’s a great option for a lightweight camper, as demonstrated by drool-worthy builds from Kondor and Dori & Mena. Today’s 2019 offering has covered just 58,8xx-miles and features the optional Denali package premium modifications. It is topped with an EarthCruiser Prototype GZL300 camper. I’d highly recommend checking out the original listing to get a better idea of the extensive work that’s gone into this build.
From the Seller:
“One owner, factory-ordered, professionally and tastefully selected modifications by a number of various off-road vehicle shops in WA, OR, or CA. Not willing to separate at this time. Vehicle mechanical, warranty, and maintenance has only ever been performed by a Chevrolet or GMC dealership. This is a turn-key expedition-ready vehicle that I’ve been based full-time in, more or less, for the past two years. Subsequently, it has been tested, changed, and overall dialed in through lots of time and effort.”
