to give you a smooth,
controlled ride when
loaded or unloaded,
Canyon features
two-stage leaf springs.
when the truck is
lightly loaded, you
ride mainly on the
compliant first stage.
as you add payload,
the stronger second
stage progressively
shoulders the load.

For greater traction in
low-speed situations,
Canyon is available
with the eaton

au-
tomatic locking Rear
Differential. when it
senses a difference
in speed between left

of approximately 100
rpm, the differential
locks to turn both rear
wheels in unison for
added traction.

For added control and confidence in difficult driving situations, every
Canyon model is equipped with the stabilitrak stability control system.
if the system senses your vehicle is not responding adequately to
your steering input, it adjusts engine torque and brake pressure to any
individual wheel to help you keep on track.
