Adventuring Accessories

This truck’s optional four-wheel drive system will give you complete control over difficult terrain, allowing you to venture away from paved roads with more confidence than ever before. But reaching the objective is only half the journey! Once you’ve arrived, having the correct gear is essential for making the most of your adventure. The Canyon Elevation has roof rack attachments, making it easy to transport your favorite outdoor equipment, such as mountain bikes and kayaks.

Roof-mounted bike racks are ideal for cyclists who want to hit the trails as soon as they arrive, while kayak attachments give secure storage for those wanting to paddle down the Chattahoochee River. These roof rack systems are simple to install and remove, making them ideal for a day drive or a weekend getaway. Even better? Our team can install them for you so that they’re ready to go when you are.

Unmatched Durability

A solid, dependable truck is essential for off-roading, but it’s also ideal for outdoorsy folk and all their gear, especially those who prefer to set up a tent rather than tow a camper. The Canyon Elevation’s sturdy design and 41.9 cu.ft. of cargo volume allow you to transport all of the essentials, from tents and camping gear to extra fuel and food supplies, without sacrificing performance or comfort. Plus, you can add the Convenience Package above to take advantage of the bed-mounted 120V outlet, as well as the rear console outlets to power a fan, charge your digital devices, and whatever you might need to enjoy a night under the stars.

Additionally, available bed liners protect the bed from scratches and dents, keeping your truck in top shape even after repeated trips into the bush. You’ll also enjoy the thought that went into designing a better bed. For instance, the cornerstep rear bumper provides easy access to the bed, making it simple to load and unload gear. Even if you’re not camping, the bed can easily manage your hiking equipment for a day on the mountainside.

Tremendous Towing

If you prefer camping with added luxury, the Canyon Elevation’s towing capacity of 7,700 lbs (when appropriately equipped) is ideal. You can easily haul a small camper, boat, or even an ATV trailer for off-road adventures. You can also ask our team about the optional ProGrade Trailering System, which makes the towing process easier with supports for attaching the trailer to the hitch, custom trailer profiles, maintenance reminders, pre-departure checklists, and more.

Additionally, the available Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and trailer hitch guidance system ensure safe and efficient towing so that you can haul with confidence mile after mile. Last but not least, you’ll appreciate the available camera views—up to eight different options—when trailering and navigating through tight spaces.

Convenience Tech

While you may want to enjoy nature to its fullest, it’s also nice to know you’re still connected to the rest of the world. With the Canyon Elevation’s advanced infotainment system, you have everything you need at your fingertips. For instance, the standard 11.3-inch touchscreen, along with the 11-inch driver information system, keeps you updated in real time regarding diagnostics, media, contacts, weather, and more. With a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can enjoy your favorite playlist while on the go.

The Colorado Elevation is also comfortable, with ample legroom and headroom for you and your passengers. This is welcome news after a long day of hiking or kayaking. You’ll find that this truck comes with luxury cloth seats and the ability to add things like heated seats, an eight-way power driver seat adjuster, power driver seat lumbar control, Remote Start, and more. Also, you’ll find several USB ports throughout the interior to keep your digital devices charged and ready to go.
