2026 GMC Canyon vs Nissan Frontier
The benefits of the 2026 GMC Canyon for off-roading and towing are clear to see when you drive it yourself. Its impressive power output and serious handling features make it the number one choice for off-roading. McGuire Buick GMC recommends it as the top truck for rugged driving. Here’s how this model compares to the 2026 Nissan Frontier.
Engine Output
The heart of every truck is its engine, and the 2026 GMC Canyon has a beast under the hood. The standard Turbomax™ engine generates 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, working to improve your performance in both urban and off-road environments. Compare that to the 2026 Nissan Frontier, whose 3.8-liter VQ six-cylinder engine delivers the same horsepower but taps out at 281 lb-ft of torque.
Towing Capacity
The 2026 GMC Canyon is more than ready to handle your towing tasks, whether you’re on the job or on vacation. With the right trims and packages, you can tow up to 7,700 lbs behind this new GMC truck. That’s the perfect amount of power for your trailering needs, especially when you head onto the trail. The 2026 Nissan Frontier comes close to matching this strength, but it can only tow up to 7,040 lbs.
Leg Room
Stretching out behind the wheel of the 2026 GMC Canyon feels great, as it gives you 45.2 inches of legroom in the front seats. That makes it easy for taller drivers and passengers to fit comfortably. On the 2026 Nissan Frontier, the front seats only give you 42.3 inches of leg room.
Visitors to our Little Falls, NJ GMC dealership also love the leg room available for rear seaters. In the second seating row, the GMC Canyon features 34.7 inches of leg room. You can only get 33.2 inches of leg room in the rear seats of the Nissan Frontier.
