Lewiston GMC – Trail-Ready Confidence in Moscow, ID – Why the 2025 GMC Canyon’s Power and Cameras Matters
When shoppers start narrowing their choices for a mid-size pickup, two questions usually rise to the top: Does it have the power I need, and will it help me see what I can’t? The 2025 GMC Canyon answers both with authority. Its TurboMax™ engine lays down 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, providing the kind of low-end thrust that matters in stop-and-go traffic, on steep grades, and when the trailer is fully loaded. Pair that punch with up to 7,700 lbs. of max towing when properly equipped, and you have a truck that handles real work without white knuckles. Just as important for life around trailheads near the Palouse or tight alleys behind Main Street, the Canyon’s camera tech—with High Definition Surround Vision available and up to 10 camera views on select models, including segment-first underbody cameras—redefines awareness when natural obstacles or tight urban corners block your view.
Those underbody cameras are more than a novelty. On rocky approaches, broken ruts, or tall ledges, seeing beneath the truck adds a new layer of precision. You can identify larger rocks before the skid plates meet them, map around hidden ruts, and spot the exact line that keeps your differentials safe. On the flip side, High Definition Surround Vision is an everyday helper. In crowded lots, narrow driveways, or when threading between planters and parking stops, the camera views help you place the Canyon accurately and avoid unnecessary dings. Add Hitch View to streamline trailer alignment, and your weekly tow job becomes a one-person operation.
- TurboMax power advantage: 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque give you confident acceleration with the low-end muscle that makes towing and trail work feel easy.
- Trailering support: Up to 7,700 lbs. of capacity when properly equipped, plus camera assistance like Hitch View to simplify hookups and maneuvers.
- Terrain intelligence: Available up to 10 camera views with segment-first underbody cameras on select models to spot hazards and plan your line off-road.
- Daily drivability: High Definition Surround Vision available for tighter urban parking, neighborhood streets, and crowded lots.
Choosing your Canyon trim is about matching where you spend the most time. If your miles skew toward dirt, the AT4 or AT4X delivers a built-for-it backbone with a 2-speed Autotrac® transfer case, off-road drive modes, and available Multimatic™ DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, and MT tires. If you prefer a refined commute and premium appointments, Denali’s Jet Black interior with Teak accents, available 6.3-inch Head-Up Display, and exclusive 20-inch diamond-cut aluminum wheels create a luxury-forward cabin without compromising truck fundamentals. Elevation remains the well-equipped gateway, with an 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen, an 11.0-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center, and the same heart-of-the-line TurboMax™ power as the higher trims.
- Prioritize your usage: If you tow or haul weekly, look for Tow/Haul mode, Hitch View, and trailering mirrors; if you wheel often, favor lockers, lift, and underbody cameras.
- Dial in visibility: Add High Definition Surround Vision for daily driving confidence; choose underbody cameras on select models for technical trails.
- Refine the cabin: Consider wireless charging, Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android™ Auto, and the Head-Up Display for premium, cord-free convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do the underbody cameras help off-road?
They provide front and rear views beneath the truck on select models, so you can see rocks, ruts, and drop-offs before you commit. That visibility helps you protect critical hardware, choose the right line, and maintain momentum on challenging terrain.
Is the Canyon’s towing tech useful if I tow alone?
Yes. Hitch View helps align the ball and coupler without a spotter, and High Definition Surround Vision can show obstacles around the trailer in tight spaces. Tow/Haul mode optimizes shift points and braking for added control.
Which trim should I choose if I split time between city and trails?
AT4 is a great middle ground with off-road hardware and everyday comfort. If you want top-tier off-road capability, AT4X is compelling; for premium comfort with robust capability, Denali brings luxury without giving up performance.
A balanced truck is easier to live with: strong enough to work, smart enough to make the tough stuff feel simple, and refined enough to keep your commute calm. That’s the Canyon in a nutshell—a powertrain that punches above its weight, camera tech that expands your situational awareness, and trims that let you tailor your perfect fit.
