2025 GMC Canyon vs. the Competition
The 2025 GMC Canyon is leaving the competition in the dust in virtually every category. Start with this model if you’re looking for a five-seat pickup truck with nearly limitless capabilities. Once you’ve seen that other trucks just can’t keep up, the pros at Matt Nimey GMC will be ready to take you for a test drive.
Power and Performance
The GMC Canyon has a 2.7-liter TurboMax® inline-4 engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This best-in-class standard torque surpasses the Ford Ranger, with its standard 2.3-liter engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Toyota Tacoma base 2.4-liter engine offers 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, while the Honda Ridgeline has a 3.5-liter V6 making 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
Towing and Hauling
The new GMC Canyon boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. The competition doesn’t fare nearly as well.
- Ford Ranger: 7,500 pounds
- Toyota Tacoma: 6,800 pounds
- Honda Ridgeline: 5,000 pounds
Cargo Management and Productivity Features
The 2025 GMC Canyon offers innovative cargo management solutions, including a segment-first underbody camera with front and rear-facing views, providing enhanced visibility for off-road and towing applications. It also features an available high-definition Rear Vision Camera with Hitch View and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, facilitating easier and safer towing operations. These features are either unavailable or less advanced in the competition.
In-Cab Technology and Infotainment
Inside, the 2025 GMC Canyon has an 11.3-inch infotainment screen and an 11-inch driver display, providing a user-friendly and technologically advanced interface. In contrast, the Ford Ranger offers a standard 10-inch infotainment screen and an eight-inch driver display, while the Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline feature smaller or less advanced systems. The infotainment systems in new GMC models also integrate seamlessly with modern connectivity features, enhancing the overall user experience.
Safety Features
The 2025 GMC Canyon introduces a segment-first underbody camera, offering front and rear-facing views beneath the truck, a valuable tool for off-road navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also provides up to 10 camera views, including a high-definition Rear Vision Camera with Hitch View and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, enhancing safety during towing operations. While the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Honda Ridgeline offer various safety features, the Canyon’s advanced camera systems, and trailering aids provide a distinct advantage in safety and driver assistance technologies.
