Wilcoxson GMC – Why the 2026 GMC Canyon’s MultiStow® Tailgate Is a Daily Game-Changer around Canon City, CO
For many midsize truck owners, the tailgate is where a day’s work begins and ends. The 2026 GMC Canyon elevates that routine with the MultiStow® Tailgate — a first-in-class integrated storage system with a built-in drain — blending utility and organization in a way that quickly becomes second nature. Around Canon City, CO, where weekdays can mean tools and site visits and weekends bring rafting gear, mountain bikes, or camping supplies, a smarter tailgate does more than simplify loading — it streamlines the whole day.
Open the Canyon’s tailgate and you will find a watertight, easy-to-clean storage compartment designed for essentials you want secured and accessible. Think tow straps, bungee cords, a compact first-aid kit, a tire plug kit, or work gloves. Heading to the Arkansas River after work? Pack wet waders and secure them below deck, then pull the drain to rinse out and dry for the next morning. When tasks stack up, that compartment saves trips to the cab or bed organizer and keeps frequently used items at a consistent reach point. It is a small thing that adds up to a truck that feels dialed to your routine.
- Keep small gear secure: Stow ratchet straps, hitch pins, and trail tools out of sight and out of the elements.
- Rinse and go: Store wet gear, then drain and wipe clean — perfect for a quick reset between activities.
- Simplify workdays: Keep measuring tapes, gloves, and bits accessible without digging through bed totes.
- Organize weekend cargo: Separate delicate items from coolers, tackle boxes, and bikes in the main bed.
- Pair with trailering tech: Combine with Hitch View and the ProGrade® Trailering System for streamlined towing setups.
A tailgate this useful does not stand alone. The Canyon’s versatile cargo bed backs it up with eight tie-downs, an available spray-on bedliner for durable protection, an available 120V bed outlet for powering tools or inflating gear, and the available CornerStep rear bumper that turns climbing in and out into a one-step motion. The available half-gate position supports long materials, so your lumber run or bike transport is more secure. Together, these features let you adapt quickly — offload materials at a Canon City jobsite, lock down a pair of mountain bikes for an evening ride, or stash wet river gear where it will not drip across your cab..
The tech that helps you manage cargo also helps you place the truck with precision. Hitch View in the camera system speeds up lining to your trailer, and HD Surround Vision makes backing into tight spots or aligning with a loading dock smoother. If you opt for AT4X, the underbody cameras with wash systems offer unique confidence on rocky approaches outside town. It all ties into an interior designed for control — an 11.3-inch GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in, an 11.0-inch Driver Information Center, and a first-in-class 6.3-inch Head-Up Display available on AT4 and standard on AT4X and Denali.
Put simply, the MultiStow® Tailgate turns your tailgate into an organized command center. It is not just about having more storage — it is about the right storage, in the right place, with the right clean-up solution. That is what makes this feature so valuable around Canon City, where your day can shift from work to adventure in the space of a short drive up Highway 50. When a truck anticipates that variety, everything gets easier.
