Midsize truck capability for Otero County, with a 350-horsepower TurboMax engine and trim-specific colors, available from Tate Branch GMC in Carlsbad.
Drivers around Alamogordo who are shopping for a new 2027 GMC Canyon will find a full lineup at Tate Branch GMC in Carlsbad. The Canyon fits the way people in Otero County actually use a truck: mountain roads toward Cloudcroft, desert trips toward White Sands and daily drives in town.
The AT4 and AT4X add off-road hardware and the new Dark Ridge Metallic paint, while the Elevation and Denali cover work-ready and luxury priorities. Every 2027 Canyon uses the same 350-horsepower 2.7L TurboMax with an 8-speed automatic.
Both trims are 4WD with off-road equipment. Here is where they differ.
