The overall tire diameter for a Canyon is about 31 inches, so if that's the width of the rack then the forward hitch rail would be about 31 inches from the front of the box, and the midpoint between...

Seriously, this can be a valid strategy. :)
If the limitation is the truck's payload (due to GVWR, not GCWR which is the allowed total weight of loaded truck and trailer), then some people may find...

That would presumably be a turbo four gasoline engine, another variant of the Gen III Ecotec line that is currently used without a turbo as the Colorado/Canyon's base engine and by many GM models in...
