Wilcoxson GMC – Can the 2025 GMC Canyon’s TurboMax engine tow confidently around Pueblo, CO?
Colorado drivers value real-world towing confidence, and that starts with power, control, and visibility. The Canyon’s TurboMax™ engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with a max towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs., so you have the strength to haul compact campers, utility trailers, and small boats around Pueblo, CO with reassuring ease. It’s the combination of torque-rich response and smart software that makes the difference—especially the Tow/Haul mode within the Drive Mode Selector, which helps refine shift behavior and throttle input for steadier pulls on grades and during frequent start-stop traffic.
Control is not just about the engine. Canyon’s available camera technologies help you manage the hard parts of trailering, like lining up in a crowded lot or backing into a narrow driveway. High Definition Surround Vision can provide a stitched, top-down perspective for maneuvering in tight spaces, while features like High Definition Rear Vision Camera and Hitch View aid with precise hookups. Add in driver-assistance features such as Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering and Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and you gain an extra layer of awareness during lane changes and reverse maneuvers.
Power that shows up when you need it, thanks to TurboMax™ torque tuned for towing and merging under load.
Drive Mode Selector featuring Tow/Haul to help optimize drivability as conditions change.
Available camera views that support line-of-sight limitations and reduce guesswork in tight spots.
Safety technology that helps with spacing, alerts, and corrective inputs when it matters most.
For weekend getaways, the Canyon’s capability expands with available 4WD, the Two-Speed Autotrac® transfer case, and, for serious off-roaders, the AT4X Package. That configuration adds a 3-inch factory lift, front and rear electronic locking differentials, and Multimatic™ DSSV dampers. Even if your plans include towing a small camper to a trailhead and continuing on unpaved roads, the truck’s off-road hardware and visibility technology can help keep things controlled and predictable.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What trailers are a smart match within the Canyon’s rating?
With up to 7,700 lbs. of max towing when properly equipped, many compact travel trailers, small boats, and utility trailers fall within a suitable range. The best approach is to check the trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and typical loaded weight. Then, ensure your Canyon’s configuration aligns with that number and select Tow/Haul mode before setting off. If you plan occasional dirt-road approaches to campsites, consider a configuration with available 4WD for added traction when pulling out of soft surfaces or shallow grades.
When you are ready to see how the truck feels with a load, schedule a hands-on demo with Wilcoxson GMC.
