Mid-sized trucks are prized for their compact size and powerful capabilities, and the GMC Canyon is one of America’s favorite trucks in the class. With TurboMax power, upscale features, and enhanced off-road and towing capabilities, the 2025 GMC Canyon puts tremendous power in a small package.
Efficient, Potent Power
The Canyon’s TurboMax engine drives its potent performance. The turbocharged powerplant is paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and a dedicated tow/haul mode. It delivers 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque to a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain. The 2WD Canyon gets 19 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway, while 4WD versions get 17 MPG during city driving and 21 MPG on the open road.
Hard-Working Payload Hauling and Towing Ability
The Canyon is built to play hard and work hard, and its crew cab has the capacity to carry up to five adults comfortably. Its 5-foot cargo box offers 41.9 cubic feet of volume for hauling materials and gear, and it has a maximum payload capacity of 1,803 pounds. For larger, heavier loads, the Canyon offers 7,700 pounds of towing capacity, and it has available features like hitch guidance, hitch view, and an in-vehicle trailering app that streamlines towing.
Safety Features That Instill Confidence
Safety is a top concern for drivers, both on and off the road. The Canyon incorporates safety features that protect its occupants, such as a following distance indicator, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control, six airbags, rear cross traffic braking, a front pedestrian and bicyclist alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and blind zone steering assist.
Awesome All-Terrain Capabilities
Many of the Canyon’s standard off-road features are only available as options on other mid-size trucks. For example, every Canyon comes with a factory-installed 2-inch lift for improved approach and departure angles that help it conquer tough terrain. The Canyon also has a standard off-road performance suspension that smooths the ride on any driving surface, as well as an ultra-wide stance for enhanced stability when traveling over uneven ground.
Advanced Connectivity and Infotainment Technology
With the Canyon’s advanced connectivity and infotainment technology, drivers and passengers can remain engaged, no matter where they roam. Those features include an 11-inch color driver information center, an 11.3-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with a color touchscreen and Google built in, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 6-speaker audio system, and multiple charging and data ports.
The GMC Canyon packs great power into a small package, offering drivers enhanced off-road capabilities, impressive towing and payload capacity, and advanced modern safety and infotainment features.
