★ Top Answer
The 2013 GMC Acadia comes equipped with a formidable 3.6-liter V6 engine pumping out 288 horsepower and mated to a smooth SRX-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain combo delivers a solid 270 foot-pounds of torque, allowing the Acadia to haul up to 5,200 lbs. For a handy rule of thumb, the tow tongue on most vehicles is typically around ten percent of the total towing capacity. In the case of the Acadia, this sets the tow tongue limit at 750 lbs. Understanding the difference between trailer weight and tongue capacity is key: trailer weight is the total weight the vehicle can tow, while tongue capacity refers to the weight that applies pressure on the hitch system of the vehicle.
