How Much Can the 2021 GMC Acadia Tow?

Entry-level GMC Acadia models boast a towing capacity of up to 1,000 pounds. That’s plenty for the majority of Bellbrook drivers who only tow occasionally. That said, if you’re looking for a bit more oomph in the towing department, you should upgrade to the available Acadia V6 engine. This increases towing capacity to the maximum 4,000 pounds, and is standard on select Acadia trims. Be sure to also add on the GMC Acadia Tow Package, which equips the Acadia with the following useful towing features:

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

Remember: If you plan to take advantage of your GMC Acadia towing capabilities, it’s important to check the towing and trailering section of your GMC Acadia owner’s manual. There, you’ll find plenty of pertinent information on how passenger weight, accessories, cargo, and more can affect your GMC Acadia towing experience.
