2024 GMC Terrain Towing Capacity

GMC Terrain Exterior Overview

The 2024 GMC Terrain comes in four trim levels, each with unique styling: SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali. The Terrain trims have a bold model-specific grille design, a sleek aerodynamic profile, and a stylish rear end, giving them a dominant road presence. Distinctive C-shaped front and rear LED signature lighting ensures this elegant small SUV stands out from the crowd day and night.

The AT4 can take you off the beaten path. It offers rugged black chrome exterior accents, a steel underbody skid plate, and 17-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels. The luxurious top-of-the-range Denali features chrome accents, 19-inch wheels, and premium suspension with enhanced shock control for a smoother ride on any road surface.

2024 GMC Terrain Towing Capacity

When properly equipped with a trailer hitch and electric wiring harness, the GMC Terrain offers a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. That’s enough to haul a dual canoe/kayak trailer or a small jet ski or fishing boat trailer for your weekend adventures. Your Terrain’s actual towing capability depends on several factors.

You need to consider the gross weight of your towing vehicle. The more passengers and cargo you load in your car, the lower the vehicle’s towing capacity. Another consideration is the Gross Combined Weight Rating, which is the total weight of the towing vehicle and the trailer, including passengers and cargo. You should never exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum weight limits.

You can find your vehicle’s weight ratings in your Terrain owners manual. Ask our helpful team at Meadowland GMC in Carmel if you have any questions. You can order a tow hitch and wiring harness when you buy a new Terrain, or you can purchase them later from our parts department, and we’ll fit them for you.

Generous Passenger and Cargo Space

The Terrain’s spacious cabin comfortably accommodates up to five people with its 103.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. The passenger dimensions are as follows:

• Headroom (front/rear): 40 inches/38.5 inches.
• Legroom (front/rear): 40.9 inches/39.7 inches.
• Shoulder room (front/rear): 57.2 inches/55.6 inches.
• Hip room (front/rear): 54.4 inches/51.8 inches.

These generous dimensions ensure everyone has enough space for a comfortable journey on short or long trips.

With a full complement of passengers, you have 29.6 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seats. Lowering the 60/40-split fold-flat second-row seats gives you an impressive 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s enough for 24 carry-on luggage cases or all your camping gear. The Terrain’s front passenger seatback also folds flat, allowing you to carry items up to 8 feet long.

You can expand the Terrain’s cargo capacity and versatility with genuine GMC accessories. All but the base model feature roof-mounted side rails. With the Hit the Road Package, you get roof rack cross rails and molded assist steps, while the Cargo Package adds a vertical cargo net and a retractable cargo shade. Other available accessories include canoe, kayak, bicycle, ski, and snowboard carriers, roof-mounted cargo boxes, and roof cargo nets.

Thrilling Turbo Power

A powerful and efficient powertrain enables the GMC Terrain’s hauling capability. Under the hood is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. It mates with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission.

The SLE and SLT trims come standard with front-wheel drive, or you can choose the AT4 or Denali trim for a standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. AWD models feature a Traction Select System that lets you switch between front-wheel drive and AWD modes for improved fuel economy or more traction to suit the road conditions.

Off-road mode adjusts the stability and traction control for improved driving dynamics and grip when you head out on the trails. The Terrain also comes standard with hill descent control, which uses the anti-lock braking system to help give you a smooth, controlled descent without pressing the brake pedal.

The perky engine is extremely economical. With front-wheel drive, the Terrain rewards you with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg for highway driving. AWD reduces the figures slightly to 23 and 28 mpg for city and highway driving, respectively.

Safety Features

Whether towing a trailer or doing everyday driving, the Terrain has a range of driver-assistance technologies to help keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Every trim comes with GMC Pro Safety, which includes a following distance indicator, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams.

GMC Pro Safety Plus is standard for the AT4 and Denali trims and available for other trims. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, side blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic warning, rear park assist, and a safety alert seat that vibrates when a safety alert is activated. The Denali also features front and rear park assist and the option of automatic perpendicular and parallel parking assist.
