A midsize truck with full-size muscle

Drive a Canyon

The Canyon packs a TurboMax engine, 310 hp, and 430 lb-ft of torque into a midsize pickup. Every model has a four-door crew cab with room for five, so your crew rides as comfortably as your cargo. Book a GMC Canyon rental for the job at hand, or compare more GMC rentals on Turo.

On Turo, you book your Canyon from a local vehicle owner and choose pickup or delivery where the listing offers it. Trips can run anywhere from a single day to a full month — long enough for a weekend move or a month-long project.

TurboMax torque that tows with ease

The Canyon's 2.7L TurboMax turbo four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 430 lb-ft — best-in-class torque for a standard gas engine, per the automaker. An eight-speed automatic delivers that power smoothly, and properly equipped Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims tow up to 7,700 lbs. When a trailer's hitched behind you, switch on Tow/Haul mode — it's built for exactly that job.

A tech-forward cabin with Google built-in

The Canyon's cabin keeps you connected from the first mile. An 11.3-in center touchscreen with Google built-in brings familiar Google apps to the dash (you may see it listed as an 11-in display). It sits right where your eyes land, so you spend less time fumbling and more time driving.

Available Bose premium audio turns a long highway stretch into a private concert. Your playlist, your podcast, or the big game all sound richer through it. Equipment varies by trim, so check the listing to see which features your Canyon includes before you book.

A 61.7-in bed with up to 1,670 lbs of payload

The Canyon pairs a 61.7-in bed with a payload rating of up to 1,670 lbs on the rear-wheel-drive Elevation. That's plenty of room for moving boxes, a secondhand couch, or a weekend's worth of camping gear and coolers.

The MultiStow tailgate storage system adds a dedicated spot at the tailgate for smaller items. Straps, gloves, and bungee cords stay organized instead of rattling around the bed. Keep every load within the listed payload limit, and you'll get the most from every trip.

Stand out with a Canyon

The Canyon shines when you need real capability in a size that's easy to manage. Book one for move-day hauls, lake days with a small trailer or boat in tow, and gear-heavy weekend trips. Its midsize footprint also fits city parking better than a full-size pickup — compare pickup truck rentals nearby to find your fit.

Top Canyon features

decorative separator

Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims

Three details set the Canyon apart: its trim range, your choice of drivetrain, and solid efficiency for a truck.

The Canyon comes in Elevation, AT4, AT4X, and Denali trims, and every one shares the same 2.7L TurboMax engine. Elevation is the approachable starting point, while AT4 adds standard 4WD. Denali brings an upscale finish for travelers who want extra polish on every mile.

Trim availability varies by listing, so check the details on each Canyon before you book. Picking the right trim up front means you'll get the features — and the towing rating — your trip needs. For a quick move across town, any trim will do, but a Denali adds polish to a long drive.

Rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive

The Canyon gives you drivetrain options to match the season. The Elevation comes standard with rear-wheel drive and offers available 4WD. The AT4, AT4X, and Denali come standard with 4WD.

Four-wheel drive adds confidence when rain or snow rolls in, so you stay comfortable as the weather shifts. If your plans include winter drives to a mountain cabin, look for a 4WD listing. Then confirm the drivetrain in the vehicle details before you book — a quick look saves second-guessing later.

Efficiency of 19–20 combined mpg

For a truck with this much muscle, the Canyon is easy on fuel. The rear-wheel-drive Elevation earns 20 combined mpg, and the AT4 earns 19 combined mpg. The eight-speed automatic keeps highway cruising smooth and relaxed.

That means fewer stops at the gas station on a road trip and more time doing what you came for. Whether you're hauling a kayak to the coast or helping a friend move two states over, the Canyon makes the miles feel lighter. Your wallet will notice, too.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Canyon

Get to know your Canyon

A little prep goes a long way with a truck this capable. Here's what to know about size, towing, and pricing before you book.

The Canyon is a midsize pickup, so it's easier to park and maneuver than a full-size truck. It seats five in a four-door crew cab, carries a 61.7-in bed, and weighs 4,650 lbs in AT4 trim.

Traveling with a bigger group? The full-size GMC Yukon gives you more seats when passengers matter more than bed space.

Canyon driving tips

Respect the Canyon's limits, and it'll handle a lot. Keep these tips in mind:

Use Tow/Haul mode whenever you're pulling a trailer.

Stay within the listed limits — up to 7,700 lbs of towing (6,000 lbs on the AT4X) and 1,670 lbs of payload.

Check the listing for hitch equipment and trim details before you book.

Refuel according to the listing's guidance before you return the truck.

How much does it cost to rent a Canyon?

Canyon prices vary because local vehicle owners set their own rates. Your total depends on the trim, model year, location, and trip dates. Many local vehicle owners offer weekly and monthly discounts, which makes a GMC Canyon rental a smart pick for long-term car rental needs.

In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
