GMC trucks deliver impressive towing power for every job. The Canyon is nimble and capable for light work. Sierra 1500 offers best-in-class standard engine torque, with available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel pushing max diesel towing to 13,300 lbs. For serious hauling, Sierra Heavy Duty is the answer-equipped with an available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 (470 hp, 975 lb-ft torque), it can tow up to 36,000 lbs.

Beyond raw power, GMC adds ProGrade and advanced trailering systems with towing-focused assists, transparent trailer view, and HD rear vision with Hitch View for confidence in any situation. New 2026 models bring further refinements to chassis and camera-based trailering tech.
