Enter the 17 characters of a GMC Canyon VIN and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration. Our data covers 10 versions of the Canyon, from the Canyon I Regular cab to the Canyon III Crew Cab, with model years from 2004 to the present, since it is still built. Power in our data runs from 175 to 313 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show them. When you look at a truck, compare the VIN with the registration papers and check that the model year and cab type match one of the versions we list, such as Extended cab Long box or Crew cab.
