Off Road Hardware Built for Traction and Control
The 2026 GMC Canyon supports off road driving with hardware designed to help maintain traction when terrain becomes uneven or slippery. Depending on trim, Canyon uses differential systems and a two speed transfer case to help keep power moving to the wheels that need it most.
On AT4X, driver selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials help ensure both wheels rotate together regardless of resistance. This capability can help the truck maintain forward motion when one wheel begins to lose traction on rocks, sand, or loose surfaces.
Canyon also includes additional traction focused equipment across the lineup. Elevation, AT4, and Denali models feature an automatic rear locking differential that activates when wheel slip is detected. AT4, AT4X, and Denali also include an Autotrac two speed transfer case with push button controls, allowing drivers to quickly switch into four wheel drive when the trail or terrain calls for it.
