Elevation

A jack of all trades, the entry-level Elevation model offers a solid base for this year’s lineup. It comes with the same engine under the hood as the upper trims, a 310-hp TurboMax with 430 pound-feet of torque, and is the only Canyon model with a rear-wheel drivetrain, a feature that makes it perfect for daily driving and hauling loads across worksites. You can also tow up to 7,700 lbs.

If you want to take it off-road, four-wheel drive is available. Regardless of the drivetrain you prefer, this truck boasts an ultra-wide stance, sturdy 18-inch wheels, and all-terrain tires. A minimum ground clearance of 9.6 inches and a factory-installed 2-inch lift give you the confidence to tackle most terrains and driving situations. Well-equipped for trailering, this trim also boasts an HD rear vision camera with a hitch guide.


AT4

Ready to conquer the trails, the AT4 trim is a great choice for explorers. This trim comes in standard four-wheel drive with an automatic rear-locking differential for improved balance and handling on loose or slippery roads. A drive mode selector with Normal, Tow/Haul, Terrain, and Off-Road modes allows you to adjust the power output and torque distribution for various terrains.

For added confidence on challenging trails, this trim also boasts a higher ground clearance of 10.5 inches and skid plates. Utility features include front tow hooks for easy vehicle recovery. Bed access is easy thanks to the EZ Lift tailgate and standard CornerStep. GMC also equips this trim with the MultiStow tailgate storage system, which is a watertight storage compartment integrated into the tailgate.


Denali

A great choice for those seeking luxury, the Denali trim pairs capability with upscale features. Like the AT4, it comes in standard four-wheel drive. Exclusive 20-inch wheels boost the model’s curb appeal and improve traction. Standard assist steps ensure easy in-and-out of the truck, and black horizontal recovery hooks are standard.

The unique interior theme includes Jet Black upholstery with Teak accents. A wireless charging pad and other tech upgrades also set this trim a league of its own. For instance, a 6.3-inch heads-up display allows you to check driving data without taking your eyes off the road, while surround-vision cameras make maneuverability a breeze. You can also customize this trim with up to ten camera views, including underbody cameras.
