FAQ

How much can a GMC Sierra 1500 tow?

Up to 13,300 lb when properly equipped (2019–present) — 3.0L Duramax RWD + Max Tow (added at the 2022 refresh; same as the Silverado 1500); 2019–2021 peaked at ~12,100 lb with the 6.2L V8.. That's the best-case maximum; most Sierra 1500 trucks/SUVs are rated lower depending on engine, axle, and tow package. Check your driver's door-jamb label for your exact rating.

Is 13,300 lb the rating for my Sierra 1500?

Probably not — it's the highest figure for the best-equipped configuration. Your specific vehicle's towing capacity is on its door-jamb label and in the year-specific towing guide, and is the number you must obey.

What about tongue weight and passengers?

Tongue weight (about 10–15% of the loaded trailer) and everything in the cab — passengers, cargo, fuel — count against your payload and limits. Leave headroom rather than towing right at the maximum.

The GMC Sierra 1500 figure is a best-case maximum for a properly-equipped configuration, provided as a reference. Your vehicle's actual towing capacity is lower and is on its door-jamb label and year-specific towing guide — always verify there before towing.
