2025 GMC Canyon vs Toyota Tacoma: Mid-Size Truck S

Looking for a capable mid-size truck that delivers on power and technology? At Blaise Alexander GMC Hazleton, we're proud to offer the impressive 2025 GMC Canyon, a standout performer in the competitive mid-size truck segment. Let's compare the 2025 GMC Canyon with the Toyota Tacoma to show you why GMC trucks reign supreme.
Performance and Capability
The 2025 GMC Canyon comes standard with a robust 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine enables towing up to 7,700 lbs when properly equipped, making it a popular test-drive subject at our Hazle Township GMC dealership.
By comparison, the Toyota Tacoma offers a less-impressive 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, with towing capacity up to 6,500 lbs.
Off-Road Capability
When it comes to off-road capability, the 2025 GMC Canyon AT4 delivers exceptional performance with standard 4WD, an advanced off-road-tuned suspension, and durable all-terrain tires. For the ultimate trail experience, the available AT4X Package enhances the GMC Canyon with driver-selectable electronic locking front and rear differentials and a purposeful 3-inch factory lift accommodating robust 33-inch mud-terrain tires.
Meanwhile, the Toyota Tacoma TRD models offer a less sophisticated package with Crawl Control and a single electronic locking rear differential. The new GMC truck provides superior versatility with up to seven selectable drive modes, including specific off-road settings like Baja mode.
Interior and Technology
Step inside the 2025 GMC Canyon and discover technology that outshines the competition. The centerpiece is an expansive 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen featuring wireless device connectivity for both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, eliminating the need for cables that clutter the Toyota's interior. The customizable digital instrument cluster delivers critical information exactly where you need it.
While the Toyota truck offers decent materials, the GMC Canyon Denali transforms the mid-size truck experience with genuine premium leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and exclusive interior accents typically found in luxury vehicles costing thousands more.
Safety Features
While both trucks feature driver assistance systems, the 2025 GMC Canyon has the standard GMC Pro Safety™ package that stands out with a truck-specific calibration of Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keeping Assist.
The Toyota Tacoma includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, but the GMC Canyon elevates visibility with its available HD camera system offering up to 10 different views — crucial advantages when tackling challenging terrain or connecting trailers, giving GMC drivers superior awareness in demanding situations.
