2015 GMC Canyon vs 2015 Toyota Tacoma

With so many trucks out there that look more and more rugged and well-designed, it can be frustrating trying to figure out which one to buy. If you are in the market for a new truck and are considering the comparison of the 2015 GMC Canyon vs 2015 Toyota Tacoma, then you have come to the right place! We will compare them for you and you can choose which one best fits your lifestyle.

Looking at both of these trucks, it can be hard to see the differences right away. Both of them have 4 doors and seat 4 passengers. With a pricetag that is almost identical, and both running on a I-4 engine, the choice becomes very difficult. Safety is a factor considered in both trucks as there are front, side, and curtain airbags for both rows of seating to keep you and your passengers safe. In this situation, it becomes very important to see what sets them apart in order to make the most informed decision.

For example, the 2015 GMC Canyon and the 2015 Toyota Tacoma may both run on an I-4 engine with a manual transmission, but the Canyon’s transmission has 6 speeds and delivers 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the Tacoma has a 5 speed transmission and only gets 25 mpg on the highway. Even that difference can save you money in the long run. On top of a better fuel-economy,  the GMC Canyon has 200 horsepower vs the 159 on the Tacoma, and a maximum payload of 1,450 lbs to the Tacoma’s 1,285 lbs.

Looking at the multitude of important differences, it seems that the more powerful and more fuel efficient GMC Canyon is the better value.
