2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CAB towing capacity
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CAB is published in 14 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 8,900 to 13,100 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (13,100 lb) sits in half-ton plus / heavy-duty truck territory.
The table below lists every trim of the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CAB 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
Ratings in this range are typically achievable with a weight-distributing hitch and the appropriate tow package. The conventional bumper-pull rating without weight distribution will be lower than the headline figure shown here — usually 5,000 to 8,000 lb. Confirm the hitch class on your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing at the upper end.
How this year compares to 2023
The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CAB carried a maximum tow rating of 12,900 lb. The 2024 model adds 200 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification.
