TurboMax 2.7L turbocharged engine with 310 HP and 430 lb-ft of torque. Up to 7,700 lbs of towing. Now at Marty's GMC in Kingston, MA.
The 2026 GMC Canyon is the mid-size truck Marty's GMC stocks year-round in Kingston for the way New Englanders actually use a truck. Standard TurboMax 2.7L turbocharged engine across every trim. Up to 7,700 lbs of towing on Elevation, AT4, and Denali. Real off-road capability from AT4 through AT4X. Crew Cab only with a 5-ft 2-in box that fits in your driveway and your garage.
Four trims to pick from. Two of them — AT4 and AT4X — come factory-set for the trails up at White Mountains and the gravel roads down the Cape. Two of them — Elevation and Denali — come for the daily commute, the Home Depot runs, and the long weekend at the lake. All four start with the same engine. None of them try to be a half-ton when they aren't.

Nine ways the 2026 Canyon shows up in the day-to-day — for tradespeople, weekend off-roaders, and families who want a real truck without the full-size footprint.
The 2026 GMC Canyon is GMC's mid-size pickup truck. It's offered exclusively as a Crew Cab with a 5-foot 2-inch short box and a single engine across the entire lineup — the 2.7L TurboMax turbocharged inline-four, rated at 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2026 lineup has four trims: Elevation (the daily-driver value leader, starting at $38,900 in 2WD), AT4 (factory off-road from $45,400), Denali (premium luxury at $53,300), and AT4X (the off-road halo at $57,200, available as the AEV Edition for $69,395).
Canyon competes directly with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado. It shares its platform and engine with the Colorado but is positioned higher on the brand spectrum — more standard content, more premium finishes, especially on the Denali and AT4X trims. Maximum towing is 7,700 lbs on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; the AT4X drops to 6,000 lbs because of its off-road tire and suspension package.
For New England buyers, the Canyon is the right truck when you want real truck capability but the Sierra 1500 is too big for your garage or your daily commute. Marty's GMC in Kingston, MA stocks all four trims throughout the year.
Three quick questions. We'll match you to a trim based on how you actually drive. No email required.
Two powerful forces come together
Builds boost off-idle for immediate response from the line.
Direct injection meters fuel per cylinder for power and efficiency.
Crankshaft, rods, and bearing caps forged the way diesels are built.
Durable wear surface for long engine life under sustained load.
After-run cooling keeps the turbo healthy on hard-use days.
430 lb-ft. The highest standard-engine torque in mid-size.
Click through five frames of Performance or Durability for the engineering story.
The TurboMax 2.7L delivers 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque through a single twin-scroll turbocharger that builds boost quickly off-idle. The result: the highest standard-engine torque rating in the mid-size segment.
Active fuel management and direct injection precisely meter fuel into each cylinder under different load conditions, balancing power output with efficiency across the operating range.
The turbocharger is positioned high on the engine for thermal isolation and shorter intake tracts. The result is faster spool-up and reduced lag during throttle tip-in.
A large-charge air cooler acts as a mediator between the turbo and engine. Warm, compressed air gets cooled before reaching the engine, improving efficiency and power for towing in hot conditions.
310 hp, 430 lb-ft, towing up to 7,700 lbs, and an 8-speed automatic transmission tuned for confident grade-hauling and immediate response. The result of rigorous testing and real-world trial.
The crankshaft, connecting rods, and main bearing caps are all forged from steel, the same construction philosophy used in heavy-duty diesel engines. Durability is engineered in from the rotating assembly outward.
The TurboMax architecture borrows from diesel-engine engineering principles: oversized main bearings, a deep-skirt block, and thicker cylinder walls to handle sustained boost pressures.
A deep-skirt cast aluminum block with a structural oil pan increases stiffness and reduces vibration, contributing to engine longevity even under repeated heavy towing or trailering cycles.
Cast-iron liners provide a durable wear surface for the rings, critical for long engine life. A locking interface helps move heat out of the cylinder to the water jacket. Sodium-filled exhaust valve stems and high-thermal-conductivity valve seats keep exhaust valves running cool in extreme conditions.
Symmetrical turbocharger placement allows for priority feed oil from the filter and optimized coolant routing, helping the turbocharger cool down after engine shutdown. Under extreme conditions, the electric water pump can provide after-run cooling.
Real numbers for the way the Canyon actually gets used. Configurations on the AT4X are tuned for trail work, so its tow rating intentionally drops — that's not a weakness, that's the right trade-off.
Available on Elevation, AT4, and Denali when properly equipped. Pull a 24-ft bowrider, a two-horse trailer, or a couple of side-by-sides without breaking a sweat.
Max-rated payload on select Elevation Crew Cab configurations. Plenty of capacity for landscaping loads, two riders + a quad in the bed, or a mountain of weekend gear.
AT4X AEV Edition delivers 12.2 inches of ground clearance — 1.5 inches more than the already-capable AT4X — thanks to AEV's bespoke suspension package and 35-in Goodyear Territory MT tires on beadlock-capable wheels.
One bed configuration on every trim. Wide enough for sheet goods between the wheel housings. Deep enough to hold a generator under the tonneau. Light enough to climb in and out of without a step.
Against the mid-size truck competition.
Red highlight indicates the class leader for that spec. Tied or competitive rows are left unmarked. Competitor numbers from manufacturer published specs as of May 2026.
The Canyon was redesigned for 2023 and the 2026 update keeps the platform but sharpens the lineup with new standard wheels, packages, and a flagship AT4X AEV Edition.
A factory partnership with American Expedition Vehicles. 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires on 17-inch Salta beadlock-capable wheels, 12.2 inches of ground clearance, AEV-spec hot-stamped boron steel skid plates. The most capable Canyon GMC has ever built. $69,395 starting MSRP.
Replaces the prior gray wheel finish. Sharper look out of the box without ordering options.
Replaces the prior gray finish on AT4. Better contrast with the AT4 grille and dark exterior trim.
A new available appearance package on the AT4 that blacks out the badges, trim, and select exterior accents for an even darker presence.
A new standalone option (also included on the AT4X AEV Edition) for buyers who want serious underbody protection without stepping up to the full AEV package.
GMC raised the destination freight charge from $1,695 to $2,095 for the 2026 model year — a $400 increase. All MSRPs on this page include destination.
When the trail ends, this is the truck that keeps going.
GMC partnered with American Expedition Vehicles to build the most capable mid-size truck the Canyon platform can deliver. AEV adds 35-in Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires on 17-in Salta beadlock-capable aluminum wheels, an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance over the standard AT4X (12.2 in total), AEV-spec hot-stamped boron steel skid plates that protect the engine bay and transfer case, and AEV-engineered front and rear bumper protection.
