PRO ADVICE

“The Canyon trims are well positioned and target specific drivers. If you want a versatile trim, you can lean toward the Elevation. Choose the AT4 if you want to get into off-roading mode, and the Denali for premium comfort. Then AT4X gives you a mix of all this in one truck plus more extreme off-road capability.”

‒ Alexandre Rivest, Sales Consultant

2026 GMC Canyon: powertrain, performance, and towing capacity 

Here, GMC makes life simple. No matter the trim, you get the inline 4-cylinder 2.7 L TurboMax that produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, with an 8-speed automatic.

This engine focuses on strong torque and a more muscular drive than you might expect from a midsize pickup. For someone who wants a compact pickup without compromise, it is a smart formula.

Another piece of good news for 2026 GMC Canyon drivers in Quebec is standard 4WD on every trim. And the towing capacity of the GMC Canyon reaches 7,700 lb. on all trims as well.

As for the GMC Canyon and its fuel use, expect around 10.7 L/100 km on the highway. For a 4WD pickup with this towing capacity and performance level, that remains very reasonable.

Against direct rivals, if you compare Ford Ranger vs. 2026 GMC Canyon, you will get notably less standard torque at 310 lb-ft versus 430 lb-ft for the Canyon. Even with the EcoBoost in upper trims, the Ranger tops out at 400 lb-ft. For towing, the Canyon also offers a clear advantage, as you can see with Toyota Tacoma vs. 2026 GMC Canyon, with only 6,400 lb. for the former and 7,700 lb. with the GMC.

If you need more muscle, come see us at GM Paillé so we can explain what to expect from the towing capacity of a truck by type of truck.

5 reasons to choose the 2026 GMC Canyon according to Alexandre Rivest, sales consultant at GM Paillé

  1. The midsize format is easier to live with than a full-size pickup, especially day-to-day and in urban settings or off-road on narrow trails.
  2. The TurboMax is standard on every trim, so you don’t need to climb the range to get strong performance.
  3. 7,700 lb. of towing makes it a truly useful truck, not just a showpiece.
  4. Trailering and camera tech genuinely help, especially on AT4, Denali, and AT4X trims.
  5. You can choose your style: more versatile, more off-road focused, more upscale, or more extreme.
