2026 GMC Canyon

The 2026 GMC Canyon proves that a mid-size truck doesn’t have to think small. Designed for drivers who want real capability without the bulk of a full-size pickup, the Canyon blends muscular performance, smart technology, and a cabin that feels genuinely premium. For life in and around Grayling, MI, it’s the kind of truck that looks equally at home on a forest trail or Main Street.

Confident Power, Right Where You Need It

Every 2026 GMC Canyon comes standard with a 2.7L TurboMax™ engine producing 310 hp and a stout 430 lbs.-ft. of torque. That torque arrives low, which is exactly what matters when towing, climbing, or pulling your way through loose terrain. Properly equipped, the Canyon can tow up to 7,700 lbs., making it more than capable of handling trailers, boats, or weekend toys.

Selectable drive modes—including Normal, Tow/Haul, Terrain, and Off-Road—let the truck adapt to changing conditions. On AT4X models, the exclusive Baja mode sharpens throttle response and suspension tuning for high-speed off-road driving, adding a layer of confidence when the pavement ends.

Technology That Works as Hard as You Do

Inside, the Canyon leans heavily into useful, driver-focused technology. A standard 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen pairs with an 11.0-inch digital Driver Information Center to keep navigation, trail data, and vehicle information easy to read at a glance.

Available camera technology takes things further. With up to 10 camera views—including underbody cameras on AT4X trims—the Canyon makes tight trails, rocky terrain, and tricky parking situations far less intimidating. The Off-Road Performance Display adds real-time metrics like pitch, roll, and drivetrain data, reinforcing the Canyon’s adventure-ready credentials.

Rugged Outside, Refined Inside

The Canyon’s exterior design is bold and upright, with a wide stance that communicates capability without shouting about it. Practical touches like the available MultiStow® Tailgate storage system and a durable cargo bed make daily work and weekend hauling easier.

Inside, trim-specific details elevate the experience. Denali models bring a Jet Black interior with Teak accents, perforated leather-appointed seating, and laser-etched wood trim. AT4X models lean into a more technical aesthetic with the exclusive Obsidian Rush interior, Ceramic White accents, and leather-appointed front seats. Across the lineup, the cabin feels intentional, comfortable, and built for long days behind the wheel.

Safety Built In, Not Bolted On

The 2026 GMC Canyon comes standard with Canyon Pro Safety, which includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, and lane-keeping assist. Available Canyon Safety Plus adds additional driver-assistance technologies, helping reduce fatigue and increase confidence during daily driving and longer trips alike.
