First, it’s important to know that jacks are most commonly rated between 1.5 and 3 tons. You should buy a jack rated for three-quarters of your vehicle’s overall weight.
Depending on the year and trim package, GMC Canyons can weigh anywhere from 3,932 to 4,555 pounds. You’ll have to get a specialized jack rated at least 4,000 pounds for a vehicle such as yours.
Remember safety first! Never attempt to lift your vehicle with a jack that isn’t the appropriate size. And never hit the road without proper insurance coverage!
