Wilcoxson GMC – What to Know About the 2025 GMC Canyon
The 2025 GMC Canyon brings full-size confidence to the midsize class, blending real-work capability with premium tech and an interior that feels purpose built for long days and longer adventures. For drivers who want a truck that’s easy to live with during the week and fully ready for weekends on the trail, the Canyon continues to hit a sweet spot—powerful, maneuverable, and smartly equipped.
Under the hood, the TurboMax engine gives the Canyon its standout character. With 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, it delivers brisk acceleration, confident passing, and robust control when the bed and hitch are loaded. Properly equipped, the Canyon can tow up to 7,700 pounds, and advanced trailering tech helps make that strength feel approachable. A thoughtful chassis setup—available with 4WD, selectable drive modes, and model-specific hardware—keeps the truck composed on washboard roads, snow-packed passes, and steep grades alike.
Trim choices help you tailor the experience. Elevation emphasizes everyday versatility with a refined ride and foundational tech. AT4 turns up the all-terrain confidence with underbody protection and off-road tuning. Denali elevates comfort and design with distinctive materials and premium convenience features. For the most adventurous drivers, the AT4X package adds serious trail hardware, and the AT4X AEV Edition layers on AEV-engineered protection and wheel upgrades for the kind of backcountry confidence that invites exploration.
- Powertrain performance: The TurboMax engine’s 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque bring responsive power for merging, climbing, and towing, while tuning prioritizes durability for demanding conditions.
- Off-road confidence: Available factory lift, selectable drive modes, front and rear lockers on AT4X, and available DSSV dampers help maintain traction and control on rocky, rutted, or sandy terrain.
- Towing and hauling: Integrated trailering aids—like Hitch View and camera guidance—support confident hook-ups, while the bed and tailgate solutions help organize cargo efficiently.
- Connected cabin: A large center touchscreen, a digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available wireless charging, and an available Head-Up Display keep information clear and accessible.
Inside, the Canyon puts you in command with intuitive screens, clean menus, and helpful shortcuts. The layout minimizes distraction, and the materials are built to handle dirt, dust, and daily wear. Available up to 10 camera views—including underbody perspectives—simplify tight parking in the city and spotting obstacles on the trail. Clever storage touches, such as the available MultiStow tailgate compartment and console organization, make it easier to keep small gear in order.
Safety and driver assistance are comprehensive. Standard Canyon Pro Safety and Canyon Safety Plus bring features such as Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam, Rear Park Assist, Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. These systems work in the background to support attentive driving—alerting, guiding, and intervening when necessary—so you can focus on the road and the task at hand.
- Define your use case: Daily commuting, towing a camper, or exploring forest roads—your primary use helps determine the right trim and options.
- Select your trim: Elevation for balanced value, AT4 for off-road traction and protection, or Denali for premium comfort and distinctive styling.
- Add packages and protection: Consider AT4X or the AEV Edition for advanced trail gear, plus accessories like bed protection or recovery points for your terrain.
- Plan your test drive: Bring your trailer measurements or gear list, and compare routes that include highway, city, and a rougher road segment to feel the difference.
