With 310 horsepower, 430 lb-ft of torque, and up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity, this midsize pickup delivers professional-grade performance in a package that's easier to maneuver than full-size trucks around Gainesville and Cooke County.
From the well-equipped Elevation to the luxury-focused Denali and off-road ready AT4X, the Canyon offers premium options not found in most midsize trucks. Check out our new GMC inventory here at Glenn Polk Auto in Gainesville, TX to learn more.
