GMC has been building hard-working, rugged pickup trucks for generations, and the mid-sized Canyon offers drivers the perfect balance of capability and efficiency. With a practical but potent powertrain, a well-appointed crew cab, and impressive towing and payload capacity, the 2025 GMC Canyon is truly built to haul.
Built to Haul: The 2025 GMC Canyon
Impressive Towing Capacity
Though the Canyon is considered a mid-size truck, it has the power to move heavy loads. It has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds, depending on drivetrain and optional equipment selections. The ProGrade trailering system is a standard feature for all Canyon trim levels, and it includes an in-vehicle trailering app, a 2-inch receiver hitch with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and an integrated trailer brake controller.
Powerful Payload Hauling Capability
For more compact cargo, the Canyon has a standard 5-foot cargo box that offers 41.9 cubic feet of payload volume. When properly outfitted, the Canyon has a maximum payload capacity of 1,803 pounds. Available features like cab-mounted cargo bed lighting, integrated cargo tie-downs, bedside utility walls, and a drop-in bedliner with two integrated storage compartments help simplify any cargo-hauling tasks.
Innovative, Efficient Powertrain
Under the Canyon’s hood is the TurboMax engine, which is paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and tow/haul mode. The powertrain generates 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque, which is delivered to a 2WD drivetrain in the Elevation trim or a 4WD drivetrain in the Denali and AT4 trim levels.
Efficient Operation
The Canyon offers excellent capability without sacrificing efficiency in both the 2WD and 4WD models. The 2WD Elevation trim level has an estimated fuel efficiency of 19 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. The 4WD Denali and AT4 both have an estimated fuel efficiency of 17 MPG under city driving conditions and 21 MPG on the open road.
Well-Appointed Interior
The Canyon isn’t just adept at hauling payloads, as it is also effective at moving people. Despite its mid-size classification, the Canyon can seat up to five adults across its front bucket seats and its second row 60/40 split-bench. Both rows offer ample legroom, with 45.2 inches of legroom in the front and 34.7 inches of legroom in the rear row.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
The standard driver assistance features in the Canyon help drivers avoid collisions. They include forward collision alert, a following distance indicator, blind zone steering assist, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear park assist, an HD rear vision camera, and rear cross traffic braking.
The GMC Canyon may be a mid-sized pickup, but it is truly built to haul, with tremendous towing capacity, impressive onboard payload capability, and a cab that can accommodate up to five adults comfortably.
