Compare the New GMC Canyon to Mid-Size Truck Rivals in the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma
Whatever lies ahead, the new GMC Canyon is ready to take challenges head-on. Can other mid-size trucks say the same? At Kyle Durrence GMC, we believe truck buyers should make informed decisions. That's why we piece together comprehensive truck comparisons. Our team has outlined the mid-size truck class, demonstrating how the GMC Canyon stacks up against rivals in the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. Whether you're interested in off-roading or towing, take a minute to compare these new trucks before visiting our Georgia GMC dealership in Claxton.
Compare Performance
Why do Georgia truck buyers love the Canyon? Best-in-class standard gas engine torque plays a big role. Other trucks can't match the 430 pound-feet of torque delivered by the GMC Canyon. The Tacoma delivers 317 pound-feet of standard torque, and the Ranger is rated for 310 pound-feet. Comparing horsepower outputs? The GMC Canyon seizes a victory point in that field, too. Every new GMC Canyon truck for sale in Claxton is powered by a TurboMaxâ„¢ engine rated for 310 horsepower. The Toyota Tacoma outputs 228 standard horsepower and jumps to 278 horsepower in other models. Electrified Tacoma powertrains are available but cost extra.
The GMC Canyon gives you better truck performance for less. Led by the 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine, the Ford Ranger delivers 270 standard horsepower. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost® produces 315 horsepower, but the Ranger, at 400 pound-feet of torque, still can't match the torque value of the Canyon. The EcoBoost® V6 engine is reserved for the Ranger Raptor. Truck owners from Glennville appreciate the next-level performance and durability they get from the TurboMax™ engine, a high-output powerplant that blends diesel technology and thermal conductivity with turbocharged capability.
Compare Towing Capability & Payload Capacity
Give the towing crown to the new GMC Canyon. The new GMC Canyon boasts a max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. A Ford Ranger can pull trailers up to 7,500 pounds, while the Toyota Tacoma can tow up to 6,500 pounds. If you're pulling your boat or camper from Vidalia to your favorite lake or campground for the weekend, you'll want the GMC Canyon by your side. The same goes for when you're transporting heavy materials in the truck bed. A GMC Canyon can take on a payload of 1,803 pounds, topping the 1,767-pound max payload capacity of the Ford Ranger and the 1,705-pound payload rating of the Toyota Tacoma.
Compare Off-Roading
Impressive off-road capabilities are a calling card of the GMC Canyon, which is built to take on tough terrain beyond the streets of Vidalia. The GMC Canyon has a standard two-inch factory lift and an ultra-wide track. GMC Canyon AT4X models benefit from a three-inch factory lift.
The GMC Canyon AT4 features 4WD and lets Claxton drivers switch between Off-Road, Terrain, and Tow/Haul modes. The AT4X-exclusive Baja drive mode with launch control gives the GMC Canyon an edge over the competition. Canyon AT4X trucks have selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials, along with exclusive Multimatic® DSSV dampers. The GMC Canyon has more off-road hardware than competing mid-size trucks.
TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter are a few of the Tacoma off-road specialists. The Ford Ranger only has one off-road model with the Raptor. GMC Canyon AT4 and AT4X models thrive in off-road settings. The Toyota Tacoma can feature 4WD and Crawl Control. The 4x4 Ford Ranger offers Rock Crawl, Baja, and Off-Road modes.
Compare Features and Utility
Tech Screens
The GMC Canyon AT4X features segment-first underbody cameras and gives truck owners access to 10 available camera views. There's even an off-road performance display for the GMC Canyon to counter the off-road screen in the Ford Ranger and the 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor in the Toyota Tacoma.
The GMC Canyon has larger standard displays. Truck owners have access to an 11.3-inch center touchscreen and an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center in the Canyon. The Tacoma has an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display, while the Ford Ranger features SYNC® 4A with a 10-inch center display and 8-inch cluster display. Rival trucks cannot match the GMC Canyon truck's exclusive ProGrade® Trailering System. There's even a 6.3-inch multicolor Head-Up Display on the GMC Canyon Denali.
Utility
GMC Canyon models have eight standard tie-downs, helping Pooler truck owners stow their gear in a secure manner. The GMC Canyon has a versatile cargo bed with 42 cubic feet of cargo box volume. The Ford Ranger has 44 cubic feet of cargo bed volume. The shorter bed of the Tacoma has 34 cubic feet, while the longer bed has 42 cubic feet. For additional utility, a MultiStow® Tailgate storage system is available for the new GMC Canyon. You can also add spray-on bedliner and a 120-volt outlet.
Compare Interior Space and Comfort
Choose the GMC Canyon Denali for an upscale truck with perforated leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated seats, and laser-etched, open-pore wood trim. The Ranger Lariat and Tacoma Limited cannot match the prestige and luxury-truck comfort of the Denali.
GMC Canyon trucks also offer the most interior legroom. The GMC Canyon offers 45.2 inches of front-row legroom, allowing you to stretch out the ride back to Statesboro on the back half of a long towing trip. The Ford Ranger has 43.2 inches of legroom, and the Toyota Tacoma has 41.8 inches.
The GMC Canyon is a Crew Cab model, while the Ford Ranger is a SuperCrew® configuration. The Toyota Tacoma offers the choice of an XtraCab or Double Cab.
