Mounting Guide for GMC Canyon

What you need to know before installing a rack system

Roof Mounting

bare roof

Your vehicle has a bare roof with no factory rails. You need a clamp-on foot system: Thule Evo Clamp (710501) or Yakima BaseLine towers. A vehicle-specific fit kit IS required and is essential — it ensures the feet grip the correct points on your doorframe. Budget $80-120 for the fit kit on top of the foot pack and crossbars.

Hitch Mounting

Aftermarket hitch required

With a bare roof, hitch-mount racks are often the easiest path to carrying bikes and cargo. Check for a factory hitch or plan for aftermarket installation.
