    Upfits That Affect Towing and Trailering Capabilities

    Towing can require serious power, and not every truck can handle it on its own. The GMC Sierra can already pull quite a bit on its own, but when you add in the Max Trailering Package, those numbers increase even more. Available as an option for the 2024 GMC Sierra, the Max Trailering Package is the best option for smooth and efficient towing.

    Not just for convenience, the addition of the trailer package has features that are designed to keep you and others safe when driving on the road. To ensure your safety the next time you tow, check out what you’ll receive with the addition of this package:

    Larger Rear Axle: The GMC Sierra powers the rear wheels through an axle. With the addition of a larger axle, the torque increases and it adds ruggedness to the truck, making it able to withstand more loads.

    Higher Axle Ratio: On its own, the 2024 GMC Sierra axle ratio is 3.23:1. With the package, the ratio goes up to 3.42:1, giving the vehicle more torque.

    Tuned Shocks: Suspension alone will not improve your truck's towing capacity because it doesn’t improve torque. Shocks work as a pump to keep the tires on the road with constant pressure. This

    towing package includes shocks that help keep the vehicle balanced.

    Heavy-Duty Rear Springs: The GMC Max Trailering Package includes heavy-duty springs that level the truck, even with the maximum load possible.

    Enhanced Cooling Radiator: With automatic transmissions, like in the GMC Sierra, the engine and transmission work harder with increased weight on the vehicle. The Max Trailering Package has a large radiator that can keep temperatures stable for much longer.

    Electrical Connections:> Trailers should come with their own braking systems. The Max Trailering Package comes with a 220-amp alternator, meaning it can feed the trailer and tackle other jobs.
