The 2026 GMC Canyon leads the midsize truck segment with a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs-more than the 2026 Toyota Tacoma (6,500 lbs) and the 2026 Ford Ranger (7,500 lbs). The Canyon also comes standard with a trailer hitch receiver and locking rear differential, plus front tow hooks, giving you towing equipment ready to go right out of the lot.

That extra capacity matters whether you're hauling work equipment around Chippewa Falls or towing a camper for a weekend adventure. The Canyon's turbocharged engine delivers the torque you need to accelerate smoothly with a load, merge onto highways, and handle demanding pulls.
