Now, let’s get started!

How Much Can the GMC Acadia Tow?

The 2023 GMC Acadia can tow up to 4,000 pounds when the vehicle is properly equipped. In order to tow the family camper or fishing boat, you’ll need the available 3.6L V6 engine under the hood pumping out 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque.

The Acadia’s standard 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine also has the strength to tow. When properly equipped, it reaches a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. It provides its own performance metrics at 228 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque.

To have the proper equipment for either engine, you’ll need to add the available Trailering Package to the mix to unleash the Acadia’s true capabilities. The following items are included in this package:

• 7-pin wiring harness
• Class III hitch
• Heavy-duty cooling system
• 170-amp alternator

These essential elements integrate the trailer to the vehicle, so it remains secure throughout the entire journey to the campground or dock.

Helpful Towing Technology Features

In addition to the necessary equipment, the 2023 GMC Acadia also offers a wide variety of trailering technology features designed to make every towing job fun. For starters, the optional Trailering Package also offers Hitch Guidance with available Hitch View, which can help you maneuver the hitch into place in a fraction of the time.

The GMC Acadia also offers two drivetrain options, including an available Active Torque Control All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that’s specially tuned to enhance handling, stability, and traction.

Tack on the standard Traction Select System to make even the heaviest jobs smooth. With front-wheel drive Acadia models, you’ll get Normal, Snow, Sport, and Trailer/Tow modes. All-wheel drive Acadia models add an Off-Road mode as well.

Hauling Cargo Inside the Acadia’s Cabin

The cabin of the 2023 GMC Acadia has passenger comfort top of its mind and cargo capability as a close second. In addition to all the cargo you can tow behind the vehicle, you’ll also be able to haul quite a bit of cargo inside the cabin.

With the second and third rows of seats folded down, you’ll have a whopping 79 total cubic feet of cargo space to work with. That’s enough room to pack in all the gear you need for a week of camping or tailgating.

Even if you don’t want to sacrifice both rear rows of seats, you’ll still have ample cargo space. Behind the second row of seats, you’ll get nearly 42 cubic feet of cargo volume to pack in full-size suitcases for a week away at the beach.
