Having a tough truck is just the beginning of your journey. What you do with that power is where the real excitement is. Thanks to the Canyon and its capable design, your demanding tasks will be made simple.
When properly equipped, the truck bed can hold up to 1,670 pounds of payload. If your gear is large and heavy, you can hitch a trailer and tow up to 7,700 pounds of equipment. Whatever you need to haul to a jobsite, the Canyon has the strength to get it done.
Intense performance is only half of the Canyon equation. Its luxurious design inside and out makes it a refined vehicle that’s still ready to play rough off-road. You’ll be greeted by all kinds of enticing features when you step inside.
