Wilcoxson GMC – Will the 2026 GMC Canyon’s ProGrade® Trailering System Make Towing Easier in Pueblo, CO?
The 2026 GMC Canyon is built to handle the mix of city streets, canyon roads, and high-plains winds that Pueblo drivers navigate every week, and towing is at the center of that capability. Shoppers ask if GMC’s integrated tools truly simplify hitching and hauling around Lake Pueblo, up Highway 50, or along I-25. The short version is this: pair the Canyon’s TurboMax engine with the available ProGrade® Trailering System, and you get confident control, clear visibility, and helpful guidance from the first connection to the final mile.
At Wilcoxson GMC, our team demonstrates these features on the lot so you can see how everything works in real time. The 2026 Canyon delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of best-in-class standard gas engine torque, plus a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs when properly equipped. Add ProGrade® Trailering System technology, Hitch View camera aids, and driver assistance features tuned for trailering, and you have a mid-size pickup that tows with confidence across Pueblo, CO, and beyond.
Here is how the Canyon’s trailering tech works together to reduce stress before, during, and after every tow.
- HD Rear Vision Camera with Hitch View: Align your ball and coupler precisely using on-screen guidelines and zoom, helping you connect solo in tight driveways or busy trailhead lots.
- In-Vehicle Trailering App: Create custom trailer profiles, run pre-departure checklists, and view trailer status information to standardize your setup every time you hitch.
- Up to 10 Camera Views: Use Surround View, Rear Top-Down, and Hitch View for enhanced situational awareness when backing to a boat ramp at Lake Pueblo or navigating a crowded storage yard.
- Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering: Alerts account for the added length of your trailer to help with lane changes on I-25 or Highway 50.
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking: Helps detect cross traffic while reversing and can provide braking support to assist with safer maneuvers in parking areas.
- HD Surround Vision: A 360-degree view helps you visualize curbs, posts, and gear when staging for departure or positioning at a campsite.
- Driver-Focused Screens: The 11.3-inch center touchscreen, 11.0-inch Driver Information Center, and available 6.3-inch multicolor Head-Up Display keep key data visible so you can keep your eyes up and your hands focused.
With those tools in mind, the Canyon helps you move from planning to pulling smoothly. Follow this simple flow our team uses during test drives in Pueblo.
- Confirm your trailer profile in the In-Vehicle Trailering App, including weight and connection type, so the truck remembers your settings and checklists.
- Engage Hitch View on the HD Rear Vision Camera, line up using the guidelines, and lower onto the ball deliberately to avoid repeated attempts.
- Run your light check in minutes, confirm chains, and verify that your trailer jack and tongue are secured and stowed before shifting to Drive.
- Select your preferred camera split view for departure and use HD Surround Vision to verify clearance as you pull out and turn.
- Drive confidently with Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering and Rear Cross Traffic Braking active, and always maintain safe speeds and following distances.
Altitude and changing grades are part of everyday life here. That is where the TurboMax engine’s 430 lb-ft of torque and the Canyon’s transmission programming help deliver steady pull up to Pueblo West, Beulah, or the Wet Mountains. The ProGrade® Trailering System complements that strength by making alignment quicker, visibility clearer, and lane changes more predictable. If you want a hands-on walkthrough, our Pueblo sales pros will connect a trailer on site, show you Hitch View in action, and build a custom trailer profile with you.
Beyond towing, the Canyon enhances daily use with available MultiStow® Tailgate storage, an Off-Road Performance Display, and Google built-in compatibility on the 11.3-inch GMC Infotainment System. That means one truck can take you from weekday errands to weekend adventures without compromise. As always, accessories may impact available camera views, so check around your vehicle before driving or parking, and consult the owner’s manual for specific ratings and instructions.
