Expert Answers about GMC Canyon


  • Rexommended Towing Mirror Extensions For a 2024 GMC Canyon
  • I recommend using the CIPA Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 on your 2024 GMC Canyon as there are no custom fit options. These are my favorite universal mirrors as they have a large single mirror with a simple strap system for connecting. The adjustable arms help to surround the mirror and reduce vibration. Also in the event a single mirror is lost or damaged you can get a Mirror # 7070 or Straps # 11952STRAP so you will not need a whole new set of mirrors.

  • Can Prodigy RF Brake Controller Install on 2016 GMC Canyon with Towing Package
  • The Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR is a great controller that can easily be used on your 2016 GMC Canyon as long as it has a functioning 7-way that has all of the trailer lighting functions complete as well as the 12 volt accessory power circuit. This is the pin in the 1:00 position. Since yours has the HD towing package it would have a fully functioning 7-way so you would be good to go as-is.

  • Longest Crossbar Ladder Rack Recommendation for GMC Canyon
  • The longest crossbar ladder rack we offer for your 2015 GMC Canyon is going to be the TracRac T-RAC Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH37002XT which has bars that are 69-1/2 inches long. No drilling would be required to install this rack either. If there was a rack available with longer bars it wouldn't be ideal since the bars would extend so far beyond the width of the truck that it would be easy to hit the bars on things as you are driving it you weren't always aware of them.

  • Side Steps for 2018 GMC Canyon Crew Cab to Help Getting in and out
  • We installed a set of the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6130-2205 on a similar 2021 GMC Canyon Crew Cab and we found that they were nice and wide and at a great height to make getting in and out of the truck much easier. Check out the install picture I attached to see what I mean.

  • 2018 GMC Canyon Denali 4X4 Parts Needed to Flat Tow
  • I did some check and it looks like only four-wheel drive versions of the 2018 GMC Canyon with a two-speed transfer case that has a Neutral and a 4-low setting can be towed four wheels down. For a base plate kit you'll then need the Roadmaster kit part # RM-523182-4 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for 26 foot long Trailer with 5200 lb GVWR
  • For your 2015 GMC Canyon, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13203. Then for your weight distribution system to help with sag and sway, I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On # BXW0750. This system will do a very good job of controlling sway and is a better option than the Fastway system in my opinion. For a 2 inch diameter hitch ball I recommend # A-90. For a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball I recommend # 19286.

  • Trailer Connector Recommendation 2008 GMC Canyon for Just Taillight Functions
  • For your 2008 GMC Canyon you will need a 4-way trailer connector to provide you with the turn signals and stoplight functions like the part # 118301 which has been confirmed as a fit. You referenced the part # 30717 which would then adapt the 4-way to a 7-way for just taillights if needed. The extra wires wouldn't be used.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2016 GMC Canyon with 265/70-16
  • The Titan Chains part # TC2324 that you referenced would be perfect for you. They are confirmed to fit the 265/70-16 tires you have on your 2016 GMC Canyon, install easily, and provide great traction. I attached an install video for these chains for you to check out as well. You will want to check the owners manual of your vehicle for any tire chain restrictions as well.

  • Can the Tow Hooks On a 2016 GMC Canyon 4x4 Be Used for Flat Towing
  • The actual tow hooks on your 2016 GMC Canyon cannot be used for flat-towing as there would be no way to secure a tow bar to them. The same part of the frame that the tow hooks attach to will then be used for the base plates which attach to the tow bar but again there is not anything to directly attach a tow bar to the tow hooks. If you are looking for a more cost effective setup I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-523182-4 with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2006 GMC Canyon with 4-Way
  • To install a brake controller in your 2006 GMC Canyon will require you to use the part # ETBC7 to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and install the controller. This comes with everything needed to make the swap and install a controller. I attached an install video for a similar Colorado as your Canyon to show you how it would be done. The P3 part # 90195 that you referenced would be a great choice for a controller as it is basically the nicest one on the market.

  • Front Helper Springs for a 2016 GMC Canyon with a Snow Plow
  • I think you will find that with a plow on the front of your 2016 GMC Canyon adding helper springs in the front will be a great, if not necessary, addition to your set up. Considering the weight of the plow will be out in front of the vehicle where it can apply more leverage to the suspension adding helper springs will prevent bottoming out and help keep the front suspension from wearing out prematurely. So with front mount receiver # 65071 or # C31074 installed and a plow attached we can...

  • Recommended Towing For 2015 GMC Canyon 2WD To Protect Transmission
  • To protect your transmission, you simply need to follow the owners manual. I looked up your 2015 GMC Canyon 2WD and it should not be flat towed. I also looked up dolly towing and this vehicle needs to be towed from the rear. For this I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. This will have the brakes, and signal lights you need. It comes with wheel nets for up to 16 inch wheel rims, but if you have the larger tires, I recommend the Erickson...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for 2016 GMC Canyon
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. You will connect the brake controller...

  • Recommended Replacement 7-Blade Trailer Connector for Trailer
  • The Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # 277-000141 would be a great replacement option which comes with a new junction box as well otherwise you could just use one of the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cables like part # H20046 which is 8' long.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2019 GMC Canyon
  • While we have really great tow mirrors that do fit your 2019 GMC Canyon we don't have any custom fit options like the CIPA set you mentioned. The ones I recommend that fit really well are the K-Source tow mirrors part # KS3990. We had the chance to test fit these on a similar 2017 Canyon and we found they installed easily and were very stable. I also really like that each mirror assembly has two mirror faces so you can have two views in addition to your truck's current mirrors. Check out...
