2020 GMC Terrain Towing Capacity by Engine
The 2020 GMC Terrain towing capacity maxes out at 3,500 pounds, but that’s not the full story. Here, we’ll walk you through how much the GMC Terrain can tow based on the trim and options you select.
The standard GMC Terrain engine is a 1.5L gas turbocharged engine, which produces 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. If you stick with a GMC Terrain that has this engine installed, your towing capacity will be 1,500 pounds – for real-world context, that’s enough to tow a small trailer or some pop-up tents around VILLA PARK.
Want more power? An available 2.0L gas turbocharged engine delivers 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. What’s more, this engine option increases your towing capacity to a maximum of 3,500 pounds. Want to tow a small boat or an ATV or two for weekend jaunts around Downers Grove? If so, it would be best to choose this turbocharged engine option.
Learn About the GMC Terrain Traction Select System
GMC Terrain models that are equipped with all-wheel-drive also offer a standard Traction Select System. What does this unique safety and stability-enhancing system do, exactly? It provides increased peace-of-mind while traveling over any North Riverside road – especially if towing a trailer! What’s more, it offers the following drive modes:
- Available Tow/Haul Mode: Using Tow/Haul mode makes your overall towing experience easier thanks to technologies like Trailer Sway Control. It also improves traction on surfaces like boat ramps or uneven roads by automatically engaging AWD mode.
- AWD Mode: When the journey becomes arduous and the road is marked by potholes, ice, or sleet, all-wheel-drive steps in to help by sending power to all four wheels, effectively increasing traction and vehicle stability.
- FWD Mode: You can switch AWD off in certain situations when it’s safe in order to improve fuel economy during everyday drives around Lombard. It works by mechanically disconnecting the rear axle, which eliminates drag.
- Off-Road Mode: Off-Road mode automatically adjusts your Terrain’s AWD system for extra traction and stability control in dirt, gravel, and sand.
