Wilcoxson GMC – Discover the TurboMax™ Engine: What It Means for 2025 GMC Canyon Drivers in Colorado Springs, CO
Mid-size trucks earn their keep by doing a little of everything well. The 2025 GMC Canyon’s TurboMax™ engine is engineered for that kind of versatility, combining confident power with smart, real-world usability for drivers who split time between city streets and weekend adventures in the Front Range. With 310 horsepower and a best-in-class standard gas engine torque rating of 430 lb.-ft., the TurboMax™ doesn’t just move the Canyon—it makes towing up to 7,700 lbs. feel composed and controllable. That matters when you’re pulling a camper up to Mueller State Park or hauling gear out toward Rampart Range. The smooth, responsive torque comes on early for easy launches, and the power band stays accessible for passing along Highway 24 without the drama of constant downshifts.
What stands out is how the TurboMax™ pairs with the Canyon’s available driveline hardware. Choose an AT4 or step up to the AT4X Package and you add serious control: a Two-Speed Autotrac® transfer case, front and rear electronic locking differentials on AT4X, and Multimatic™ DSSV dampers that help the chassis stay planted on washboard and rutted trails. That responsiveness translates to confidence when the road ends above Woodland Park or when snow catches you on a late return down Ute Pass. For drivers who want the right-size truck that still feels like a tool for Colorado’s varied terrain, this powertrain and chassis combination hits the sweet spot.
- Confident towing feel: 430 lb.-ft. of torque delivers steady pull and reduced hunting on grades.
- Trail-friendly gearing: The Two-Speed Autotrac® transfer case helps you meter power in low-range situations.
- Refined control: Multimatic™ DSSV dampers help the Canyon feel settled, even when the surface isn’t.
- Everyday efficiency: Strong torque at lower rpm means fewer downshifts and smoother commuting.
- Integrated tech: Up to 10 camera views with HD Surround Vision, including segment-first underbody cameras, help you place a tire where it counts.
Inside, the TurboMax™ story continues with a cabin that supports longer drives. An 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen and an 11.0-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center keep critical data visible, while available Head-Up Display puts navigation prompts and speed into your line of sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android™ Auto compatibility reduce cable clutter; add available wireless charging to keep the console clean while you queue up maps or trail notes. The Canyon’s Canyon Pro Safety and Canyon Safety Plus suites bring features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam, all working quietly in the background so you can focus on the drive.
For shoppers comparing trucks around the Pikes Peak region, this engine-chassis-tech blend makes the Canyon feel tailored to Colorado. It’s easy to live with in town and ready for a quick pivot to dirt. If you need more bite, the AT4X AEV Edition layers on hot-stamped boron steel skid plates, stamped steel bumpers, and trail-focused hardware that complements the TurboMax™ torque curve with armor and approach-clearance confidence. That’s a combination that’s hard to outgrow.
Wilcoxson GMC is proud to support truck buyers exploring the Canyon across the Front Range—serving La Junta, Canon City, and Colorado Springs with straightforward guidance and a selection that makes side-by-side comparisons simple. Whether you’re pulling a small camper up past Divide or aiming for a quiet campsite near Eleven Mile, the TurboMax™ engine gives the 2025 Canyon the composure and punch to make the trip feel easy, and the technology to make it feel modern.
