• Denali: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with richer materials and a more upscale cabin presentation.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: GMC equips the Canyon with a capable turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine generating 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) in the Elevation base model.
• Tech: GMC equips the Canyon with a standard 11-inch digital driver display and an 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in technology.

• Starting price: Four versions of the Canyon are available: Elevation, AT4, Denali, and AT4X. They all sit on lifted suspensions with wide tracks (compared to the GMC’s Chevrolet Colorado twin) and smart wheels wrapped in mud-terrain or all-terrain tires. It’s a good-looking truck from every angle, with a chiseled and purposeful appearance, and prices range from $40,995 to $59,395, including the $2,095 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
