Which GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

• Denali: This trim adds a more luxurious cabin presentation and richer materials for buyers who want the Canyon’s premium side.
• AT4X: This is the most off-road-focused version, with Multimatic DSSV dampers, 10.7 inches of ground clearance, mud-terrain tires, electronic locking front and rear differentials, and hill descent control.
