The 2026 GMC Canyon fording a river

Performance is a key focus of the 2026 GMC Canyon, as it’s designed for optimal power and handling. This GMC truck features a refined powertrain, impressive towing capacity, and off-road-ready handling. All of that makes it a favorite for Lester Glenn GMC customers, and you’ll see why when you test-drive it yourself.

Rigorous Performance

Every 2026 GMC Canyon comes equipped with a standard four-cylinder TurboMax™ engine. This powerplant gives the vehicle 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, giving you all the strength you need for both urban environments and off-road driving. The engine takes advantage of air compression and cooling for optimal efficiency and power transfer, ensuring that it’s refined and ready for high-octane driving.

Serious Towing Power

Trailering is a major concern for truck drivers, and the 2026 GMC Canyon delivers the power you want for towing. It’s rated to tow a load of up to 8,200 lbs, making this the perfect truck for towing larger trailers or heavier gear. Combine that with the available Trailering Package that adds important equipment like a hitch and connectors, and you have a well-oiled towing machine.

Durable Handling

The 2026 GMC Canyon comes equipped with standard rear-wheel drive, which works well on highways and city streets. If you need a vehicle built for off-roading, you can opt for the available four-wheel drivetrain. This setup puts power on every wheel equally when you accelerate and steer, ensuring that you can dig into the terrain and maintain traction and grip.
