2021 GMC Terrain Towing Capacity

The 2021 GMC Terrain is equipped with a 1.5L gas turbocharged engine, delivering 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the 2021 GMC Terrain towing capacity reaches 1,500 pounds – enough to haul a small trailer or pop-up tent trailer to your favorite Ewa Beach site.

GMC Terrain Traction Select System

Complementing the 2021 GMC Terrain towing capacity is standard all-wheel drive and the Traction Select System. Both of these systems give Waipahu drivers confidence and peace of mind while they’re on the road – whether or not they have a trailer in tow. The Traction Select System features the following modes:

• FWD: This function decreases your fuel consumption during everyday drives by mechanically disconnecting the rear axle, which eliminates drag.
• AWD: Shifting into AWD mode will automatically send vehicle power to all four wheels, allowing for greater traction when roads are slick.
• Off-Road: When you’re itching to trade in paved roads for rugged paths less traveled, Off-Road mode auto-adjusts the AWD system for better traction and stability control in dirt, gravel, and sand.
• Available Tow/Haul Mode: This available mode enhances your towing experience with greater trailering capabilities through Trailer Sway Control, while improving traction on boat ramps or uneven roads by automatically engaging AWD mode.
