GMC Canyon vs Ford F-250 Super Duty

Don’t expect variety in the 2026 Canyon. There are four trim levels, but this midsize truck is available only in a crew-cab, short-bed configuration, equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive (4WD) is standard in Canada. For the 2026 model year, a new Coastal Dune paint colour debuts, the Canyon AT4 is available with a Nightfall Essential Package, and you can add a lift kit to the AT4X.

Verdict: The GMC Canyon isn’t a bargain, but it’s an undeniably appealing truck. Good looks, a stout powertrain, user-friendly tech, and terrific off-roading capability are the selling points. The Canyon’s fuel economy, value, and safety ratings need improvement. Nevertheless, it's a likeable pickup truck.

The 2025 Ford F-250 is a versatile and capable workhorse that can haul impressive loads while also delivering an abundance of luxury, comfort, and technology. It's unbeaten with its 10,430-kilogram (23,000-pound) towing capacity, and with a deep roster of configurations to choose from, there's likely one that matches your budget and needs.

Verdict: With unmatched towing capacity at a comparable price to other heavy-duty pickups, the F-250 is a compelling package.
