Every Vortec engine employs a
unique cylinder head design that
swirls and tumbles the intake
charge, improving the air / fuel
mixture to enhance performance.
For Canyon, we engineer Vortec
engine technology into three dif-
ferent configurations to provide
the right performance for your
needs. Not every compact pickup
offers a V-8, and with Canyon’s
available Vortec 5.3L V-8, brag-
ging rights — and awesome
capability— are included. Along
with an outstanding trailering
capacity of up to 6000 lbs.
