The GMC Canyon is a midsize pickup whose published statistics span vehicle dimensions, cargo utility, power, towing, pricing, safety testing, recalls and U.S. deliveries. The figures below are tied to specific model years, configurations and measurement periods, so they should not be generalized across every Canyon.

GMC Canyon Dimensions and Cargo Statistics
The 2024 GMC Canyon dimensions below come from the U.S. model specification and apply to the listed Crew Cab configuration. They describe physical scale and rated space, not how owners actually load or occupy the truck.
| Measure | 2024 value | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 131.4 inches | Listed Crew Cab |
| Front headroom | 40.3 inches | 39.2 inches with sunroof |
| Front legroom | 45.2 inches | Listed Crew Cab |
| Rear headroom | 38.3 inches | Listed Crew Cab |
| Rear legroom | 34.7 inches | Listed Crew Cab |
| Cargo-bed floor length | 61.7 inches | Crew Cab short bed |
| Maximum cargo-bed volume | 41.9 cubic feet | Weight and distribution limits apply |
| Seating capacity | Up to five occupants | Maximum capacity |
The 2024 GMC Canyon Features and Options Guide is the source for these dimensions, capacity and cargo measurements. Its cargo-volume figure is a maximum specification; it does not mean every load can use the full volume because weight and distribution remain limiting factors.
GMC Canyon Engine, Towing and Payload Data
The 2025 Canyon’s TurboMax output is manufacturer-rated, while towing and payload depend on the selected vehicle and its load. The figures therefore describe different kinds of capability and should not be treated as interchangeable capacity measures.
| Measure | Value | Configuration or scope |
|---|---|---|
| TurboMax power | 310 horsepower | 2025 U.S. Canyon |
| TurboMax torque | 430 lb-ft | 2025 U.S. Canyon |
| Maximum towing | 7,700 pounds | 2025 U.S. Canyon AT4 page; configuration-dependent |
| Maximum payload | 1,803 pounds | 2025 2WD Crew Cab Short Box Elevation |
| GVWR | 6,100 pounds | Same 2025 2WD Elevation configuration |
| GCWR | 13,250 pounds | Same 2025 2WD Elevation configuration |
| Curb weight | 4,297 pounds | Same as-configured vehicle |
The 2025 GMC Canyon AT4 and AT4X page supplies the engine and maximum-towing figures. GMC notes that passengers, cargo and options may reduce the tow rating, so the 7,700-pound maximum is not a universal rating for every Canyon.
The Build & Price: 2025 Canyon — Dimensions and Weights page supplies the configuration-specific payload, weight and rating data. Payload includes passengers and cargo, and the listed curb weight is for the as-configured 2WD Crew Cab Short Box Elevation rather than every trim.
The same 2025 configuration lists a 2,396-pound front axle curb weight, a 1,901-pound rear axle curb weight and a 3,500-pound front GAWR. These are as-configured axle-distribution and rating figures, not fleet-wide Canyon averages.
GMC Canyon Pricing, Trims and Equipment Statistics
For the 2025 model year, GMC’s U.S. starting MSRPs show a clear spread across three named trims. The amounts are starting prices before taxes, destination, options and availability effects.
| 2025 trim | Starting MSRP | Source scope |
|---|---|---|
| Elevation | $40,095 | U.S. market |
| AT4 | $47,395 | U.S. market |
| Denali | $53,695 | U.S. market |
The 2025 GMC Canyon AT4 and AT4X page also lists a $45,700 starting price for the AT4 presentation shown there. GMC identifies that as a page presentation and configuration that differs from the Build & Price MSRP table, so it is not a like-for-like comparison with the $47,395 starting MSRP.
The AT4 equipment data includes four listed drive modes: Normal, Terrain, Tow/Haul and Off-Road. The available AT4X package adds Baja mode, a 3-inch factory lift, 17-inch wheels and 33-inch mud-terrain tires; the AT4X AEV Edition is described with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires.
These equipment figures are package- or edition-specific. The 3-inch lift, wheel and tire measurements should not be read as standard equipment across every AT4, and the Baja mode count is associated separately with the available AT4X package.
GMC Canyon Fuel, Capacity and Operating Measurements
The published operating and packaging measurements combine a 2024 fuel-capacity specification with 2025 dimensions for one specific 2WD Crew Cab Short Box Elevation. Keeping the model years and configuration visible is essential when comparing them.
| Measure | Value | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel-tank capacity | Approximately 21.4 gallons | 2024 U.S. model specification |
| Front ground clearance | 9.6 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Rear ground clearance | 9.6 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Overall length | 213.2 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Overall height | 79.8 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Cargo-box width at floor | 58.1 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Cargo-box width between wheel housings | 45.5 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
| Maximum width without mirrors | 72.4 inches | 2025 2WD Elevation |
The 2024 GMC Canyon Features and Options Guide identifies the approximately 21.4-gallon fuel tank. The 2025 geometry and clearance measurements come from GMC’s Dimensions and Weights page.
GMC Canyon Safety-Test Statistics
The available safety figures are controlled IIHS crash-test measurements, not real-world injury rates. The IIHS 2024 page states that the tested 2023 Canyon ratings apply to 2023–26 models, while the measurements below identify the tested vehicles and test sides.
| Test measure | Result | Tested population and period |
|---|---|---|
| Driver-side lower hinge-pillar intrusion | 9 cm | 2023 Canyon AT4 crew cab 4wd; test used for 2024 rating |
| Driver-side footrest intrusion | 13 cm | Same driver-side test |
| Driver-side chest maximum compression | 27 mm | Same driver-side test dummy |
| Driver-side maximum Nij | 0.22 | Same driver-side test dummy |
| Passenger-side chest maximum compression | 26 mm | 2023 Canyon Elevation crew cab 4wd |
| Passenger-side maximum Nij | 0.26 | Same passenger-side test dummy |
The 2024 GMC Canyon — IIHS vehicle ratings page is the source for the intrusion, compression and Nij measurements. Chest compression and Nij are anthropomorphic-dummy and crash-test criteria; they do not measure observed human injury incidence.
GMC Canyon Sales, Recalls and Model-Year Trends
GM’s delivery figures measure U.S. manufacturer-reported deliveries for the periods defined in its tables. They are not worldwide sales, retail registrations or owner counts, and the source labels should be retained when comparing periods.
| GM delivery comparison | Latest period | Comparison period | Reported change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest listed year-to-date table | 9,481 | 13,531 | 29.9% decline |
| Latest listed period | 452 | 627 | 27.9% decline |
| Earlier year-to-date report | 4,148 | 3,567 | 16.3% increase |
| Earlier listed period | 739 | 576 | 28.3% increase |
The latest comparisons come from GM’s United States Deliveries Report. The earlier comparisons come from a separate historical General Motors United States Deliveries Report; each period is defined by its own source table, so the figures should not be merged into a single continuous annual series.
Recall data describes a potentially affected population rather than confirmed failures. NHTSA recall 24V-673 involved 13,241 2024 GMC Canyon vehicles produced from April 19 through August 3, 2024, with the filing dated September 20, 2024.
The NHTSA Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-673 estimated that 100% of the involved population had the stated defect condition. That is a manufacturer estimate within the identified recall population, not a measured failure rate across all Canyon vehicles.
The listed production window covers 107 calendar days when both April 19 and August 3 are counted. This is derived from the filing’s inclusive dates and is not a production-volume measure.
Across these categories, the most important interpretation rule is scope: model-year specifications, as-configured weights, controlled tests, manufacturer deliveries and recall populations answer different questions. Keeping those definitions attached to each figure prevents a trim-specific measurement or a period-specific delivery count from being mistaken for a universal GMC Canyon statistic.
