Hey! So I got this 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 and I wanna chat about its towing capacity. My buddy claims it can tow a lot, over 10,000 lbs or something like that, but I think it’s less. You think it’s really that high? He tried towing a trailer last summer, and it seemed fine. Although, this one time, the engine hesitated a bit when we were going up a steep hill. Made me worry but was it just me?
And he was all like, “With a V8 engine it can handle anything”. I think it’s got a max towing capacity of like, 8,400 lbs. Maybe he didn’t set it up right, or was my mate just exaggerating? And has anyone noticed tire wear when towing a lot? Just curious how my choices might affect the ride later.
Also, might be worth checking how much the bed stretches out too. Got any insights, or have you faced similar experiences?
Let me know what you think.
I’ve had a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 outta Texas for years! It was solid, towing up to 12,500 lbs. Works like a charm when I head out to the lake. Very underrated truck, trust me!

I’ve gotta say, I was on a road trip through Montana last summer with my '13 GMC Sierra 1500, and man, that thing was packing some serious muscle.

That Chevy bronco ain’t something you wanna mess with! Definitely more than enough muscle for most of my heavy-duty adventures.

I once used my '13 GMC Sierra 1500 to tow a camper in the Rockies. Crusing with gear up to 9,300 lbs was dope. The V8 engine handled it like a beast, no sweat.
