The 2015 GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition featuring a body-color grille, 18-inch aluminum wheels and black body accents.
GMC is looking to expand the appeal of the recently introduced Canyon midsized truck with its new Nightfall Edition. The new truck boasts a blacked-out grille and black assist steps plus other features buyers of the new truck have been adding as options.
It is offered on SLE crew cab models, either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, in Onyx Black and will be available in the second quarter of 2015, according to GMC.
“The new Canyon Nightfall Edition expands the Canyon lineup and gives style-conscious customers another choice,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing.
“Importantly, customers get the great looks of the Canyon Nightfall Edition and its unique content at a greater value than ordering the features separately.”
In addition to standard equipment on the SLE, the Canyon Nightfall Edition includes:
- Unique black grille
- Black assist steps
- Factory spray-in bedliner
- 18-inch multi-spoke aluminum wheels with Dark Argent painted inserts
- Polished exhaust tip
- Automatic climate control
- Remote start
GMC said the blacked-out effects on the truck reflect the fact that Canyon buyers are interested in personalizing their trucks, in particular, with equipment or looks that fall in line with their lifestyle.

More than 40% of the initial orders for Canyon include at least one selection from the collection of accessories GMC developed for the truck, including the available GearOn cargo management system, as well as bed protection, styling enhancements and trailering components.
