The 2026 GMC Canyon is a truck that’s all about getting jobs done. With a standard 310-horsepower TurboMax engine that can tow up to 3,492 kg (7,700 lb) when properly equipped thanks to having 430 lb-ft of torque, you can take everything you need along on your journey. Its standard 2-inch factory lift and wide track make easy work of off-roading adventures as well, with the available 3-inch factory lift on the AT4X trim level taking off-roading ease a step further.
