Model Review: 2026 GMC Canyon in Muskogee

Meet the 2026 GMC Canyon at Jay Hodge GMC of Muskogee

The 2026 GMC Canyon gives Muskogee drivers serious towing strength, useful cargo space, trail-ready capability, and premium technology without requiring the footprint of a full-size pickup. Every Canyon uses a 310-horsepower TurboMax® engine with 430 lb-ft of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission, a Crew Cab, and a short cargo bed. Properly equipped models can tow up to 7,700 pounds.

At Jay Hodge GMC of Muskogee, shoppers can choose from four Canyon trims: Elevation, AT4, AT4X, and Denali.
