Top Five Towing Features Available for the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500

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.
