Pushing the 2026 GMC Canyon AT4 to Its Off-Road Limits

When it comes to off-roading, the 2026 GMC Canyon AT4 stands out as a true contender. Dan Richardson takes us through his first-hand experience, highlighting just how capable this truck is when the pavement ends and the adventure begins.

Starting with a brief section over rocky terrain—really just stones in a parking lot—the Canyon’s automatic mode quickly shifts into four-wheel drive, showcasing how effortlessly it adapts when conditions get tricky. As Dan Richardson puts it, this truck is fantastic for off-roading, providing confidence from the get-go.

But the real excitement comes from a dedicated off-road session. Dan Richardson describes how he took the Canyon AT4X off road with a professional driver. Hitting speeds between 20 and 40 mph on an off-road course, the Canyon not only handled the challenge; it relished it. According to Dan Richardson, these trucks “can really off road like no other,” a statement rooted in first-hand thrills and technical performance.
