    GMC Terrain Towing Capacity

    Even the base level of 2018 GMC Terrain, with all its standard equipment, offers pretty impressive towing capacity. At this level, you’ll be able to haul up to 1,500 pounds (similar to some other crossovers in its class).
    What happens, however, when you have heavier hauling needs? In this case, you can easily add the 2.0L turbocharged gas 4-cylinder to your Terrain. This available engine will increase the SUV’s towing capacity, when properly equipped, up to 3,500 pounds.

      Available Trailering Equipment

      Your tow job is made all the easier if you add in some available trailering equipment to complement the 2.0L turbocharged powertrain. These features include a 7-wire electrical harness, 7-pin plug, and 2-inch receiver hitch to ensure that you can attach the actual trailer to your SUV securely and with total ease.
      A heavy-duty cooling system is also available to help moderate your engine. Pulling all that extra weight might burn out a smaller vehicle. The Terrain’s available added cooling system keeps temperatures low and your powertrain running smoothly.

        Rear-View Add-Ons

        One of the difficult things about towing is that it can be hard to see. More specifically, with a trailer blocking your rear view, it can be hard to determine what’s behind you at any given moment.
        Fortunately, the Terrain has available technology to compensate for this fact. A rearview camera comes standard in the 2018 Terrain. This allows you to see what’s right behind you via a full-color screen, so you never have to strain at all to know what’s behind your SUV. In addition, you can also add in the available rear park assist feature to actively guide you in and out of narrow parking spaces.

          GMC Terrain Handling

          In addition to all the above equipment, you still need great handling to be able to tow effectively. An all-wheel drive system is available in the GMC Terrain to help you maneuver more precisely on rugged roads. This feature is greatly complement by the standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control feature.
          Hill Descent Control is also available in the new Terrain. If you’re heading downhill at any point with some extra weight behind you, this feature will ensure that the momentum is safely capped.
