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

Towing is a real strength: the Canyon can tow up to 7,700 lbs-best-in-class for midsize trucks. Four-wheel drive is available to boost traction on challenging terrain and in poor weather.

Want to feel that performance yourself? Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive, or browse our current Canyon inventory online.
