How Much Can the GMC Canyon Tow?

In most trim levels, the Canyon can tow up to 7,700 pounds. That’s the figure for the base Elevation, the AT4 off-road pickup and the luxurious Denali. The more extreme AT4X, which has a 3-inch suspension lift and specialized dampers, is rated to tow a maximum of 6,000 pounds.

Does the GMC Canyon Have a V-6 Engine?

V-6 engines are slowly disappearing from the Canyon’s competitive set — and from the Canyon. The GMC and its Chevrolet Colorado twin are only available with a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder. It generates 310 horsepower and 430 pounds-feet of torque. That’s more power and vastly greater torque than the V-6 engines in the Honda Ridgeline, Jeep Gladiator and Nissan Frontier. It’s also more torque than the Toyota Tacoma’s turbo four and the Ford Ranger’s optional turbo 2.7-liter.

The only more powerful mid-size pickups are the Ranger Raptor and the Tacoma with its i-Force Max hybrid setup, which generates a combined 326 hp and 465 pounds-feet. The Canyon’s engine is, however, rather laggy, with a pronounced delay between flooring the accelerator and full power delivery.

How Much Does the GMC Canyon Cost?

The 2026 Canyon is available in four trim levels. Only the entry-level Elevation is available with rear-wheel drive. 4WD is optional on the Elevation and standard on the rest of the lineup. Pricing (including destination) is as follows:

• Elevation: $40,995
• AT4: $47,595
• Denali: $55,395
• AT4X: $59,395
