The 2025 GMC Canyon receives a variety of small changes for the third model year of the third-generation pickup truck.
These changes follow the 2023 Canyon, which was the introductory year of the overhaul (redesign and re-engineering) and the 2024 Canyon, which introduced the AT4X AEV Edition package.
Model Line
The 2025 GMC Canyon is offered as a mid-size pickup truck in the Crew Cab, Short Box configuration and in 2WD or 4WD across the following trim levels (product code in parentheses):
- Elevation (T4C43) – 2WD or 4WD
- AT4 (T4E43) – 4WD only
- Denali (T4F43) – 4WD only
For the 2025 model year, the AT4X model was deleted as a trim level, becoming a package (RPO Code XEW) offered on the AT4 trim level. Similarly, the AT4X AEV Edition (XEV) becomes a package for the AT4X trim (see below).
