How much of the GMC Terrain towing capacity to use?
The best practice is the 80/20 rule, it is really popular, and there is a good reason for that. Towing at your GMC Terrain max capacity is not good for your car's health. It will damage or prompt deterioration of the vehicle's engine, suspension, tires, brakes, and even the frame itself. That's why you can often encounter advice to only use around 80% of your maximum GMC Terrain towing capacity. And our database will ensure you can easily stay within this safe limit.
How to know you do not exceed the GMC Terrain towing capacity limit?
It is a relatively easy task, but only if you have all the information. For instance, you can always look up the towing capacity of the GMC Terrain in our car information database. The next step is to figure out your trailer, camper, or other load's GTW. This specification includes your RV's own weight and the weight of everything aboard, and it should be less than your towing capacity value.
Signs you are towing too much for your GMC Terrain
If you are exceeding the GMC Terrain towing capacity, the front or rear of the vehicle can sag disproportionately. Unpleasant things like bottoming out and premature shocks wear are also possible. Plus, you will feel the difference in steering and braking.
