The 2015 Canyons exterior design has got some genuinely distinguishing exterior features, for example the bold grille or the bulging fender flares. The crew cab SLT trim is excessive with the chrome which makes the grille, the running boards and bumpers quite flashy. The extended cab SLE trim, however, offers a different kind of flashy with its bulky tires and the resilient tubular running boards, which may appeal to the more dirt loving kind of a customer. A noteworthy feature is an additional step interspersed into the rear bumper and the optional “EZ Lift-and-Lower” tailgate, which makes for one-handed closing and no-bang opening of the tailgate.
