Tow Ratings Towing capacity for every US vehicle, 1991 to today

2000 GMC Savana towing capacity

The 2000 GMC Savana is published in 20 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 4,000 to 7,100 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (7,100 lb) sits in mid-size SUV / pickup territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2000 GMC Savana with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 1999

The 1999 GMC Savana carried a maximum tow rating of 5,500 lb. The 2000 model adds 1,600 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification. See the 1999 GMC Savana page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
