Q&A: How Much Can the 2019 GMC Acadia Tow?

Question:How Much Can the 2019 GMC Acadia Tow?

Answer:

The 2019 GMC Acadia’s towing capacity ranges from 1,000 pounds to 4,000 pounds, depending on the model configuration.

Acadia models equipped with the standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 193 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque are only capable of towing 1,000 pounds. So buyers that need the extra towing capacity are going to want to spring for the upgraded engine.

Below is a list of the starting prices for the 2019 GMC Terrain*:

The Acadia’s upgraded engine, a 3.6-liter V6, features 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. This upgrade in power is plenty to tow up to 4,000 pounds when combined with the available Trailering Package. That upgrade is only $650.
