2026 GMC Canyon in Forest City, IA

At the heart of every 2026 GMC Canyon sits the TurboMax engine, producing 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of best-in-class standard gas engine torque. This powerful engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission to deliver smooth, confident power across all driving conditions.

Maximum towing capacity reaches up to 7,700 pounds, making the Canyon a capable workhorse when you need it most. The AT4X trim pushes off-road performance further with Multimatic DSSV dampers and selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials, while a standard 2-inch factory lift and ultra-wide track on AT4 and AT4X trims give the Canyon a tall, confident stance on rough terrain.

Selectable drive modes — including Normal, Terrain, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul — let you tailor the truck's behavior to match any driving situation. AT4X adds an exclusive Baja mode with launch control for those who crave the most demanding trails.

Step inside the 2026 GMC Canyon and you'll find a cabin designed around driver comfort and versatility. Each trim brings its own character, from the durable CoreTec interior on the Elevation to the Denali's exclusive Jet Black interior with Teak accents and laser-etched, open-pore wood trim.
