Fox2 News reported last week that the Wentzville GM plant will be producing a revamped GMC Canyon pickup truck in addition to the all new GMC Colorado.

A GM press release stated that:

GMC also announced the return of the GMC Canyon midsize pickup as an all-new model to be built in Wentzville, Mo. Arrival timing will be announced later.

“While we continue to make strong progress in fuel economy gains on our full-size trucks, we know that there is a group of customers who want the functionality of a truck but may not need full-size pickup,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick and GMC Marketing. “We believe that introducing a new, agile and efficient mid-size Canyon will meet the needs of many pickup buyers.”

GM recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $380 expansion to the pant, which also makes Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana cargo and passenger vans.
