2018 GMC Canyon
Anyone towing with a Canyon/Colorado with the 3.6L V6? I just picked up a 2019 Apex Nano 208BHS (Dry 4000k +/-) and I am curious what I can expect out of the motor as its a big downsize from my pr...

Great looking combo and should work well for you.
That said I just fired up the corn popper and grabbed the bowl. It's going to be fun to watch this one evolve as soon as the weight police roll out of bed.
I will be max 5,500lbs loaded, as I had 1,600lbs loaded in my 30fter. Tow for the Canyon is 7,000lbs.
Max tongue on the Canyon is 900lbs, per the label on the receiver itself. 15% would put me at 825lbs.
The closest number I will be at or over is payload, and that all depends how much I am loaded up. Payload sticker is 1,470lbs on the door. That less the tongue weight gives me 645lbs of payload, which accommodates my family of four at 425lbs and some additional cargo. With NYS not letting you move wood anymore, the bed of my truck doesn't get much use it seems.
Truthfully, when getting the trailer, the only number that worried me was the length. The Canyon being a shortbox with a 128" wheel base, I came up with a 24ft trailer would be the max. This one is about 25ft ball to bumper, but I was okay going with it.
Numbers sound good.
I wouldn't worry about the wheelbase. We've been towing our trailer for 3-4 years at 121" wheelbase.
Just went out and measured, its about 26' bumper to ball.
No issues with the trailer taking control of the truck. I get a bit of push when big trucks pass, but only if there is a large speed differential. No wagging or sway, the whole unit moves as one.
EDIT: By wheelbase is 131, not 121....still pretty close.
