Where these numbers come from

Each year's figures are taken from GMC's own document for that year (2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Trailering Charts) and checked line by line against the original. The year pages link to the exact page. How we check.

Towing capacity is only one limit. Your payload, hitch rating and GCWR also have to hold. Check a trailer against all of them.
