How Much Can the GMC Sierra Tow?

With a Double Cab, a 6.2L V8 engine, and the Max Trailering Package, the Sierra 1500 can easily tow as much as 12,200 pounds. This tough pickup is available in a number of styles with varying features and bed/cab sizes that will affect your towing capabilities. Some of these choices include:

• Drivetrain: 4WD or 2WD
• Engine Options: 2.7L turbo engine, up to a 6.2L ECOTEC3 V8 engine
