The 2025 GMC Canyon is a great truck for rugged outdoor adventures. Its entry-level trim is a great choice for most purposes, while the two upper models are well-equipped for extreme off-roading or drivers seeking luxury.
Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 GMC Canyon
Elevation
The Elevation trim is the best mid-size truck for daily tasks, whether you have to run through town or carry loads up a trail. It comes in standard rear-wheel drive and gets power from a 310-hp TurboMax engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A tow/haul mode optimizes the power output for trailering, so you can pull up to 7,700 lbs, while a factory-installed lift and all-terrain tires provide the confidence to drive on all terrains.
An ultra-wide stance provides enhanced stability in challenging driving conditions, and LED exterior lights illuminate even the darkest trails. Inside, both front seats boast position adjustments for optimized comfort, while the rear bench has a 60/40 split-folding design for enhanced convenience. The cabin’s focal point is the modern infotainment with an 11.3-inch center touchscreen and Google built-in.
AT4
Explorers can find their match in the AT4 trim level. This rugged model is designed for off-roading and comes in standard four-wheel drive. An automatic locking rear differential and a two-speed transfer case improve the vehicle’s stability on slippery or loose terrains, while the preset Terrain and Off-Road drive modes allow you to easily adjust performance in changing terrain conditions.
GMC equips this trim with rugged exterior features, such as skid plates and front tow hooks for easy vehicle recovery. A MultiStow tailgate is also standard, this innovative storage system providing covered space for tools and other essentials. The interior boasts heated front seats with power adjustments and combination cloth and CoreTec upholstery for added visual appeal.
Denali
The Denali trim is perfect for those who want a luxury truck with massive capability. Like the AT4, it comes in standard four-wheel drive and is well-equipped for off-roading with 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires. A CornerStep on the rear bumper provides easy bed access, while the spray-on bedliner provides a textured, non-skid surface for enhanced cargo hauling.
Surround-view cameras are standard, so you can easily maneuver this truck in tight spots and across narrow trails. For an enhanced off-roading experience, you can also upgrade your ride with underbody cameras that can help you navigate rugged terrains. Inside, the luxurious cabin boasts a unique Jet Black and Teak theme, while tech upgrades include wireless charging and a heads-up display.
