2027 GMC Canyon Denali

What sets this Canyon Denali apart from a lookalike on the next lot is the safety architecture woven through the whole truck. The Canyon Safety Plus Package adds rear park assist, rear cross-traffic braking, and blind zone steering assist with trailering — the last one genuinely useful when you have something hitched.

A Safety Alert Seat pulses the seat cushion rather than sounding another chime, and HD Surround Vision stitches cameras into a full overhead view. Adaptive cruise control handles highway spacing, and a head-up display keeps speed and navigation off the dashboard and in your line of sight.

Forward collision mitigation, rear pedestrian alert, and a rear camera round out a system that's unusually complete for a mid-size pickup.

The cabin is built around the driver. Memory settings on the 8-way power driver's seat return the chair to your position every time, and both front seats are heated and ventilated , with power lumbar on each side.

The heated steering wheel , dual-zone automatic climate control , and auto-dimming rearview mirror handle the climate and glare without asking you to think about them. A power sliding glass sunroof opens the cab up, while the 7-speaker Bose sound system fills it.

Wireless phone charging, two rear USB charge ports, a rear 120-volt outlet in the console, and an 11.3-inch GMC Infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep the whole cab connected. A built-in mobile hotspot means passengers have their own signal.

Out back, a spray-on bedliner with GMC logo protects the box from the start, and the MultiStow tailgate includes a storage compartment and a keyed cylinder lock so gear stays put. A 120-volt bed-mounted power outlet handles tools or a compressor at the job site.

Five rectangular chrome assist steps make getting in and out straightforward, and front LED fog lamps help on early-morning runs. The 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with carbon grey metallic accents finish the exterior cleanly — no after-market needed.

Napleton Chevrolet Buick GMC is at N8167 Kellom Rd. in Beaver Dam — about 45 minutes from Madison, an hour from Milwaukee, and 35 minutes from Fond du Lac, and a short drive for neighbors in Fox Lake, Juneau, Horicon, and Mayville. The Napleton family has been in the automotive business for over 80 years, and the approach here is straightforward and no-pressure.
