How Much Can the GMC Acadia Tow?

With a base capacity of 1,000 pounds, even the GMC Acadia standard engine can take care of towing lighter items such as a pop-up camper or non-motorized boat. This level of capability will be more than enough for most Dayton drivers, but if you do need serious power for a large trailer or your Troy job site, you can upgrade the Acadia engine to a 3.6L V6 for a max 4,000-pound towing capability. To optimize safety and stability during heavy-duty towing, you can add the optional GMC Acadia Tow Package and gain the following features:

• GMC Acadia trailer hitch
• Class III hitch
• 7-pin wiring harness
• Hitch Guidance with Hitchview
• Heavy-duty cooling system

Many factors can affect the towing performance of your vehicle, so it’s important to check your owner’s manual for info on how accessories, cargo, and passenger weight can change how much your vehicle can tow, to be sure you’re getting the most out of your GMC Acadia towing capacity.
