The 2026 GMC Canyon is powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged high-output engine that produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This strong engine gives you confident acceleration and excellent pulling power for work or recreation.

The Canyon delivers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs, so you can haul trailers, boats, and equipment with confidence. Available four-wheel drive improves traction on challenging terrain and in bad weather. If you need serious hauling capability in a midsize truck, the Canyon is built for the job.
