The GMC Canyon has four trims to pick from equipped with 4WD, but just one if you’re searching for 2WD. These include Elevation, AT4, Denali, and AT4X — Elevation being the only 2WD option available. Every trim comes with the 310 hp TurboMax engine with 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Instead of changing out what’s under the hood, these trims focus on other areas like a better tailgate and improved tires, depending on what you plan on using the truck for.
MSRP for Canyon begins at $40,895 for the Elevation trim — $37,595 for 2WD — and climbs up to $55,895 for the AT4X. Each trim has a wide range of customization options available, ranging from off-road lights to a power sunroof, and each of these will drive up the price. Although the Diesel engine is no longer a decision to make, there’s still a lot to think about as a potential buyer. Our first drive on the 2023 AT4X trim found a lot to like, and the 2024 model year has made even more upgrades to the mid-sized truck. Although the Diesel engine is no more, performance isn’t lacking at all.
