GMC’s 2024 Truck Lineup and Their Towing Capacity

The towing capacities of the trucks in GMC’s 2024 lineup, from the 2024 GMC Canyon to the heavy-duty Sierra models, are more than impressive. At the high end, a fully-equipped 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 can tow a whopping 36,000 pounds. If you’re like most truck drivers, that’s more power than you’d ever know what to do with, but you still need a four-wheel steed that can tow a heavy load. Which GMC truck is right for you depends on your towing needs. Let's review the towing capacities of the 2024 GMC truck models. Not sure what towing capacity is and why it matters? Check out our guide to towing terminology first.

Towing Capacity of 2024 GMC Canyon

The 2024 GMC Canyon is the little sibling of the GMC Sierra 1500 and HD models, but it does its best to emulate its elders with a powerful base engine, a sturdy frame, and performance packages that take it to the next level. With a 310-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2024 Canyon has a max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds for the Elevation, AT4, and Denali trim levels. The AT4X can tow up to 6,000 pounds and the AT4X equipped with the optional Edition 1 package drops to 5,500 pounds. With a towing capacity of 5,500 pounds, you’ll have the power to tow things like a fully loaded 6x12 U-Haul trailer or a 30-foot camper.

Towing Capacity of 2024 GMC Sierra 1500

For the 2024 model year, the GMC Sierra has a selection of powertrain options that can sate anyone's desire for power. The base engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder, and a Duramax diesel, a 5.3-liter V8, and a 6.2-liter V8 are also available. With all that power, it's no surprise that its max towing capacity of 13,200 pounds is one of the segment's strongest.

Towing Capacity of the 2024 GMC Sierra HD

The HD models of the GMC Sierra are for truck drivers who need the ultimate in towing and hauling power, and GMC delivers. The base powertrain for the Sierra HD is a robust 401-hp 6.6-liter V-8 coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission. In contrast, the optional 470-hp Duramax turbo-diesel V-8, also with a 10-speed automatic, is essential for reaching the Sierra HD's impressive maximum conventional towing capacity of 22,500 pounds. To further enhance its towing capabilities, the Sierra HD is equipped with advanced trailer assist technologies, including Transparent Trailer View, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and an optional adaptive cruise control designed specifically for trailering, ensuring that the truck not only works hard but also smart. The most powerful Sierra 3500 can pull as much as 36,000 pounds, and the brawniest Sierra 2500 can pull up to 22,500 pounds.
