The 2026 GMC Canyon is powered by a 2.7-liter Turbo High-Output engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This engine provides confident acceleration and excellent pulling strength for demanding work.

The Canyon delivers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs-the best-in-class among midsize trucks-making it ideal for hauling trailers, boats, and equipment. Available four-wheel drive improves traction on challenging terrain and in poor weather, while an available Off-Road Suspension Package enhances ride control and durability on rough trails.
