2021 GMC Acadia Towing Capacity

If you’re looking at the 2021 GMC Acadia as your next three-row SUV to take on the Troy roads, you’re probably wondering, “How much can the GMC Acadia tow?” When properly equipped, the new GMC Acadia towing capacity can reach a maximum of 4,000 pounds. Also, when it’s paired with rugged powertrain options and a powerful engine, you won’t have trouble hauling a compact camper or trailer for a weekend getaway with friends and family.
How Much Can the GMC Acadia Tow?
The entry-level GMC Acadia can tow up to 1,000 pounds.

Also, if you’re going to take advantage of the Acadia towing capabilities, it’s good to check out the trailering section of your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
