Wilcoxson GMC – What Are the Key Off-Road Features of the 2025 GMC Canyon for Canon City, CO Shoppers?
For those in Canon City, CO who crave adventure beyond the pavement, the 2025 GMC Canyon is meticulously engineered to meet the demands of off-road enthusiasts while providing comfort for everyday driving. At Wilcoxson GMC, serving La Junta, Canon City, and Colorado Springs, we know our customers are searching not only for capability, but for confidence and control on rugged Southern Colorado terrain. Let’s take a deep dive into the specific off-road features that make the 2025 GMC Canyon stand out for in-market shoppers looking for a versatile truck ready for trails and back roads alike.
The heart of the 2025 GMC Canyon’s off-road prowess lies in its purpose-built AT4 and AT4X trims. Standard on these models, the factory-installed 3″ lift provides greater ground clearance—crucial for navigating rocks, deep ruts, and uneven landscapes that are common in the canyons and foothills outside Canon City. Front and rear electronic locking differentials offer superior traction by splitting torque equally between wheels on the same axle, giving you peace of mind on loose or slippery surfaces. The AT4X goes a step further, introducing Multimatic™ DSSV dampers for optimal ride control and advanced shock absorption even on the harshest trails. Adventure-focused drivers will also appreciate available 17” wheels with 33” MT tires that grip confidently while the spare is equally trail-rated, ensuring you’re never caught unprepared.

Hill Descent Control, an available transfer case shield, and a two-speed Autotrac® transfer case provide greater control, stability, and protection in every scenario. Paired with Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, the Canyon builds trust in its driver and peace of mind in challenging environments.
