New GMC Trucks and Towing Capacity Around the Floresville Area

From taking your family on vacation to transporting a large load for work, you need a truck that can tow some big things. While smaller trucks can haul a pop-up camper, you need more power to tow a fifth wheel or an animal trailer. You may need an even bigger truck when it comes to towing vehicles and loaded trailers. We’ll help you find the best new GMC truck to handle all your needs by looking at how much each can tow around San Antonio.

New GMC Trucks and Towing Limits

The towing limit of a truck tells you the maximum amount of weight you can transport. This limit varies based on the model and engine you pick. For example, the GMC Sierra 1500 has a 2.7-liter turbo engine, which lets you tow up to 8,900 pounds. Choose the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine and increase the weight to 10,900 pounds. The optional 3.0-liter Duramax® turbo-diesel and 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engines tow up to 9,000 and 9,100 pounds around the Pleasanton area.

With a Sierra 2500, you can choose a 6.6-liter V8 engine and tow a maximum of 14,500 pounds. GMC increased the towing limit on the 2500 equipped with the optional turbo-diesel V8 engine to 18,500 pounds. You can also buy a new GMC Sierra 3500 with one of two engines. First is a 6.6-liter V8 gas engine, which hauls up to 16,010 pounds. Choose the turbo-diesel V8 engine and increase the weight to 20,000 pounds.
