What engine powers the 2024 GMC Canyon and what are its performance figures?
The 2024 GMC Canyon is powered by a 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 310 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque in standard form, and 430 lb-ft in the high-output version available on AT4X and Denali trims. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. These figures place the 2024 Canyon among the best-powered mid-size trucks on the market, ahead of the Ford Ranger (270 hp) and Nissan Frontier (310 hp at lower torque). Maximum towing capacity reaches 3,946 kg and maximum payload is 798 kg depending on configuration. The 2024 Canyon is available in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive; in Canada, the vast majority of buyers choose 4x4 given winter driving conditions.
