Does every 2015 Canyon tow the same?

Yes: all 6 configurations GMC lists for 2015 with a published rating are rated up to 7,000 lb.

What is the max tongue weight of the 2015 GMC Canyon?

Up to 900 lb for the Crew Cab Short bed (61.7 in at the floor) 2WD, as GMC prints it. Tongue weight is the trailer’s downward push on the hitch; it counts against payload.

Has the GMC Canyon’s towing capacity changed by year?

Highest rating by model year: 2023, 7,700 lb; 2022, 7,700 lb; 2021, 7,700 lb; 2020, 7,700 lb; 2015, up to 7,000 lb.

What is the GVWR of the 2015 GMC Canyon?

Up to 6,000 lb for the Crew Cab Short bed (61.7 in at the floor) 2WD, as GMC prints it. GVWR is the most the vehicle may weigh with its people, cargo and the trailer’s tongue weight aboard.

These are GMC’s published ratings, not a weighbridge. Your own vehicle’s GVWR and axle ratings are on its certification label, and only a scale tells you what your loaded rig weighs. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
