Sierra 1500 Towing Capacity
Towing a trailer or camper around Franklin is a little easier when you
have a GMC Sierra 1500. This truck can tow up to 7,900 pounds when you choose
the basic 4.3-liter V6 engine package. You'll increase your towing capability
as you upgrade to one of the other engines. For example, the 6.2-liter V8 motor
available for the
Sierra 1500 has a capacity of more than 11,000 pounds. GMC also
offers a new 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 engine, which can tow up to 36,000
pounds. This model also has a maximum payload of 7,442 pounds.
Towing with the Sierra 2500
GMC offers the Sierra 2500
in packages with either a gas or diesel engine. The four-wheel-drive
standard crew cab Sierra 2500 that runs on diesel has a maximum payload of 3,563
pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 18,500 pounds when you use a standard,
fifth wheel, or gooseneck hitch. The four-wheel-drive crew cab long box Sierra
1500 has the same towing capacity but a higher payload of 3,597 pounds.
The towing capacity around Lebanon with one of the gas models is
slightly lower. For both the four-wheel drive and truck, you can tow up to
14,500 pounds via a standard hitch or 16,650 pounds with a gooseneck or
fifth-wheel hitch. While the standard box Sierra 2500 has a payload of 3,760 pounds,
the long box has a maximum payload of 3,862 pounds.

crew cab models tow up to 14,500 with a standard hitch. Using a fifth-wheel
hitch gives you a capacity of 15,890 pounds to 16,530 pounds. You get the same

capacity also differs if you have one of the new GMC Sierra 3500 trucks that
