Meet the 2012 GMC Canyon SLE-1: Your Next Adventure Vehicle
So, here’s the deal. What we’ve got on the lot is a 2012 GMC Canyon SLE-1, and it’s not your run-of-the-mill pickup. It started its life in the wide, open roads of Oklahoma, with one owner who clearly had an eye for practicality mixed with a hint of adventure. It’s got that classic black finish with a touch of subtle elegance over its Ebony cloth interior, all powered by a hefty 5.3-liter Vortec V8 engine. This beast sends power to the rear wheels via a trusty four-speed automatic transmission.

Exterior Features
Draped in black and accented with red pinstripes, this truck means business. It’s equipped with fog lights, ensuring you can navigate through those misty mornings with confidence. And let’s not forget the mud flaps and that receiver hitch for all those who fancy a bit of towing.
Wheels and Braking
Those shiny 17″ alloy wheels? They’re wrapped in 265/70 Goodyear tires, ready for the road. The braking setup is just as practical, with front discs and rear drums, part of the Z71 Off-Road Package’s enhancements alongside an upgraded suspension that can handle a bit of rough and tumble.
Interior Indulgence
Slide into the driver’s seat and hit the road in style. The interior is all about that Ebony cloth trim. You’ve got the basics like air conditioning and more modern touches like an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a CD stereo system with six speakers pumping out your favorite tunes.
The Instruments and Odometer
This truck doesn’t skimp when it comes to keeping you updated. The dashboard boasts a 110-mph speedometer, a reliable tachometer, and gauges that cover coolant temperature and fuel levels. The digital odometer shows a respectable 62,000 miles, with about 100 miles added by the seller.
Under the Hood
Now let’s talk power. Underneath, there’s an aluminum 5.3-liter Vortec V8 engine, factory-rated at an impressive 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. It’s all channeled through that smooth four-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Plus, they’ve done an oil change to get it all set for a new owner.
If you need a closer look at its underbelly, we’ve got more photos in the gallery for the detail-oriented folks.
The Clean Record
The best part? The Carfax report is squeaky clean—no accidents or damage—so you can drive away knowing you’ve snagged a truck that’s as sound as the day it rolled off the production line.
All in all, this isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a trusted companion for your next journey, ready to take you wherever you dream of going.
