There are many reasons to consider buying a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, even if you never intend to put it to work. For example, it has a big and comfortable cabin and many standard tech features.
But if you do need it for a task like towing, you will love what it can do. These are the towing features that make this pickup truck so desirable:
1. Excellent Towing Capacity
To get the best towing ability from your GMC Sierra 1500, you’ll need to go with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that puts out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. With four-wheel drive, this truck will let you tow up to 11,800 pounds.
2. Great Off-Road Ability
If the towing you’ll need to do involves some rough terrain, the GMC Sierra 1500 will get the job done nicely. The AT4 trim is particularly good, as it comes with a two-speed transfer case, skid plates, and hill descent control.
3. Trailering Package
The GMC Sierra 1500 can be outfitted with numerous packages to make towing safer and easier. With the Trailering package, you will get a two-inch receiver hitch, hitch guidance, and a locking rear differential.
4. Prograde Trailering System
This system includes hitch guidance with hitch view, trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring, and an in-vehicle trailering app.
5. Max Trailering Package
For the ultimate in towing, you’ll want the Max Trailering package. This comes with:
- An integrated brake controller
- An automatic locking rear differential
- Heavier-duty rear springs
- An enhanced cooling radiator
- A 9.76-inch rear axle
- A 3.43 axle ratio
- Revised shock tuning
