A midsize pickup truck like the 2025 GMC Canyon is a great choice if versatility, passenger space, and maneuverability are must-haves when you’re shopping for a new vehicle. Midsize trucks have a moderate size and towing capacity that make them ideal for suburban living, particularly if you never plan to haul extremely heavy loads. Learn about the practical features and capacities of the Canyon before you contact your GMC dealer.
Meet the 2025 GMC Canyon: The Midsize Truck with Big Ambitions
The base Canyon is the Elevation, which is available with a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive. You may opt for the four-wheel drive model if you anticipate driving in off-road environments or during inclement weather, since this type of drivetrain is designed to maximize vehicle stability. That said, the basic two-wheel drivetrain model comes with an Off-Road Suspension system that adds two inches of ground clearance for better off-road handling.
The Elevation is powered by a 2.7-liter I4 TurboMax engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This amount of power under the hood allows the truck to haul 7,700 lbs, which should cover most of your towing needs for campers, trailers, and even flat-towing other vehicles. The 2WD model gets 19 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the freeway.
Canyon Pro Safety
The base Canyon model comes with a suite of driver assistance technologies to ensure your safety in urban and suburban environments. Key software includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking. This model has a Following Distance Indicator that warns you when you are tailgating so you can keep a safe distance from the car ahead. Maintaining a safe stopping distance is especially important when hauling heavy loads.
This model also comes with the Canyon Safety Plus Package so you can access standard features like Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking. The Blind Zone Steering Assist feature is especially helpful when a trailer is hitched since it extends the length of your blind zone so you know when you can change lanes.
GMC Premium Infotainment System
Whether you’re taking a short trip around town or traveling to your next long-distance destination, you can stay entertained with the intuitive GMC Premium Infotainment System. This infotainment unit is housed in an 11.3-inch diagonal centerstack touchscreen. Google Built-In technology is at the heart of this infotainment unit with features like Google Maps, Google Assistant, and other Google-connected apps.
In addition to Google Built-In services, you can connect multiple devices to your truck’s infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth technology. Smartphone-connected apps give you the benefit of hands-free pass-through phone features, like reading and sending SMS text messages, making phone calls, and much more.
The Canyon covers all of your daily driving necessities with versatile towing and performance capabilities, as well as a collection of advanced safety features. Book a test drive at Bommarito Buick GMC in Ellisville, MO.
