The 2024 GMC Canyon gives you nearly everything you'll want in a midsize pickup truck. It offers excellent towing and hauling capacity along with lots of off-road capability. It's comfortable on the street too. Only a high price keeps it from being a class leader.Read full review

2024 GMC Canyon Review
Pros
- Plenty of power and a stout maximum tow rating
- Balanced ride and handling on pavement and dirt
- Roomy interior with an excellent driving position
- Google-based infotainment system is simple and easy to use
Cons
- High base price
- Single cab style and cargo bed length
What's new
- Extreme off-road version of the AT4X debuts, called the AT4X AEV
- Elevation and AT4 trims add a standard 11-inch digital gauge display
- Blind-spot warning system now offers available trailer coverage
- Part of the third Canyon generation introduced for 2023
Overview

One year after a redesign, the 2024 GMC Canyon receives updates that make it an even better midsize crew-cab pickup truck. For starters, every 2024 Canyon has a standard 11-inch digital instrumentation panel, replacing the 8-inch display in the Elevation and AT4 trim levels. In addition, Canyons equipped with the ProGrade Trailering System add trailer coverage to the blind-spot warning system, enhancing driver confidence when using the truck's impressive towing capacity. However, the big news is the Canyon AT4X AEV Edition, built in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles. It takes the Canyon's already commendable maximum off-roading capabilities to new heights.

Edmunds spotlight: GMC Canyon AT4X AEV
Last year, the most off-road-capable member of the Canyon family was the AT4X. Now, hardcore off-roaders have a new one to consider: the Canyon AT4X AEV Edition. Equipped with steel front and rear bumpers, four durable Boron steel underbody skid plates protecting the truck's critical parts, and 35-inch mud-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, the AT4X AEV is ready for just about anything. And if your adventure goes awry, there's a full-size spare mounted in the cargo bed and upgraded recovery points for winching the truck out of trouble. The AEV equipment is part of an option package for the Canyon AT4X.
Competitors to consider
In the midsize truck segment, the 2024 GMC Canyon faces fresh competition from the redesigned Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. In addition, the Honda Ridgeline and Jeep Gladiator each receive updates to keep them on consideration lists. Can the Canyon fend them off? It has the power, style, technology and capability to do so, that's for sure. But premium pricing and unimpressive fuel economy ratings could convince you to shop around.
Edmunds Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts
Great
8.1
out of 10
We drove the 2024 GMC Canyon on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the Canyon drive? The Canyon is one of the better-driving pickups on the road. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is strong, though its power was somewhat masked by the AT4X model we tested. The extra weight from the AT4X's upgraded suspension, wheels and tires can make the Canyon feel a bit sluggish. Our truck accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds. Expect something closer to the higher end of 6 seconds for a regular Canyon. The Canyon's steering is weighted well and feels nice and direct on the highway. Off-road, the more capable Canyon trims (such as the AT4X) can take on rocky trails and obstacles with little trouble.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Canyon? Ride comfort in the Canyon is quite good for a pickup. It's not stiff, but it doesn't feel overly soft either. The Canyon soaks up bumps well and doesn't get rocked by big potholes or uneven roads. AT4X models with the upgraded suspension actually ride even better, with a smooth, composed ride both on city streets and on the highway.
Still, newest doesn't always mean bestest, and despite being the newest car in this class, we still think the seats lag compared to rivals. They're flat in both the bottom and back cushions, and while not too soft or too firm, we'd welcome a more huggy seat. Height, fore/aft positions, and backrest are all adjustable. And the seats also come with 2-way lumbar.
As in nearly every car from General Motors, the Canyon's climate control system is among the best you'll find in any car around. The air conditioning blows cold, and the heated seats do a great job of keeping your butt and back toasty. We also appreciate that all the climate controls are physical, with real knobs and buttons for every setting. The air vents are easy to aim, too, and we appreciate that GMC offers rear passengers their own air vents.

Interior
8/10

Getting in and out of the Canyon depends on the trim, though all Canyon models are pretty tall. The lack of a grab handle on the driver's side is an oversight, especially on the lifted AT4X model. Once you're inside, there's a decent amount of room for passengers. The rear seat isn't massive, but headroom and legroom are about average for the class. Visibility is average, too. The windows are tall and upright, and the mirrors are well placed, providing a good view without creating blind spots.

Technology
9/10
How’s the tech? GMC offers some of the best in-car tech you'll find in any pickup on the road today. Highlights include standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both can connect your phone wirelessly. The Canyon offers a wireless charging pad too. The infotainment and navigation are Google-based. If you sign in with a Google account, things like contacts, saved addresses and your calendar can sync with the car. It's particularly useful if you often use Google Maps for directions. Voice controls, too, are offered by Google. The system understands commands well, and it can do everything from adjust the climate to answer questions from the web. Great stuff.
The Canyon is available with a wide array of driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning and a plethora of camera angles (including an available underbody camera for off-roading). The systems worked well during our testing.

Towing and Storage
8/10
How are the towing and storage? The Canyon only offers a single Canyon configuration: crew cab with a 5-foot bed. The bed is wide and easy to load. The tall sides do create more space but also make it more difficult to reach into the bed from the side.
While those specs may be average, the Canyon's tow and haul ratings are among the best in the class. You can load up to 1,700 pounds in the Canyon, depending on the configuration. There are nice hooks and an adjustable panel for keeping loads contained when the tailgate is lowered. Hauling is equally impressive, with a max rating of 7,700 pounds. That's among the best you'll find without going to a full-size truck.
Storage inside the cabin isn't quite as good as in the Canyon's rivals. There are fewer bins and pockets, making it a bit less usable than the Taco and Ranger. The storage bin under the rear seats is handy but small.

Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Canyon's will get between 16 and 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving depending on the configuration. The more capable off-road, the worse the fuel economy rating. Other midsize trucks are capable of slightly better mpg.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Canyon a good value? While they may not come right out and say it, GMC wants to position the Canyon as a bit more of a premium offering than the average midsize pickup truck. As such, it commands a base price that's a few thousand dollars higher than rivals. You can get a nearly identical truck from Chevrolet for slightly less money. Fit and finish is solid, with no noticeable squeaks or rattles from anywhere in the truck, but we don't think the interior is really any more premium than what you'll find elsewhere.
The Canyon comes with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Notably, GMC also includes five years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance and a year of free maintenance.

Wildcard
8/10
Given their more compact dimensions, midsize trucks are usually more fun to drive than their full-size counterparts, especially off-road. The Canyon is plenty capable when the going gets rough, especially in AT4 and AT4X spec. Still, the Canyon's rivals are likely to keep up given just how strong this segment of trucks is. On the street, it's a little better to drive than most other pickups, but not so much that we'd call it fun.
GMC did well to differentiate the Canyon's styling from the Chevy Colorado. Both trucks are handsome and tough but not as in-your-face as a chromed-out full-size pickup. The Canyon is also a much rarer sight on the road than the Toyota Tacoma. If you want to be a little different, the Canyon might be the way to go.

2024 GMC Canyon trim level differences
GMC offers the 2024 Canyon in Elevation, AT4, AT4X and Denali trim levels. The new AT4X AEV is an option package instead of a separate model.
Which Canyon trim does Edmunds recommend?
For the best blend of value, style and capability, consider the Canyon AT4. It has standard four-wheel drive, rugged good looks and an appealing interior, and it's your ticket to numerous upgrades as your budget allows.

FINALLY got my AT4!!!
4 out of 5 starsDaveB1701, 04/07/2024
2024 GMC Canyon AT4 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I special ordered a Canyon AT4, blue, advanced trailering package, sprayed on bed liner in July of '23...fast forward 8 months of UAW strike, model year switchover delays, software rewrites, 'stop-sale' due to whatever other issues - I took delivery of my '24 on 3/30. Very nice upgrade from my '17 Colorado Z71. Ride is smoother overall, 4WD Auto worked great during an early April … snowstorm, but I miss my V6. Probably mostly the sound. The I4 TurboMax definitely has guts, better towing capacity, whatever...but the sound when I punch it is going to take some getting used to - not that its bad, just different. Exterior styling is AWESOME, despite being forced into a crew cab - previous ride was an Extended Cab, which was all I really needed. I'll miss that 12" of bed length come camping season, but I'll manage. Interior trim is primary reason for choosing over a new Colorado: Canyon, tuxedo...Colorado, cheap sport coat. Reason #2 was the front end styling, particularly below the bumper - Chevy needs to ditch that ugly ass rubber air dam and go with something a bit more aggressive. Only reason for the one star 'ding' is fuel economy - a 2.7L I4T has lower fuel economy than a 3.6L V6???
