GMC Sierra towing a trailer

If you plan to use your truck for serious towing, the GMC Max Trailering Package is a must-have. Available on select GMC Sierra 1500 models, this package adds mechanical upgrades and towing technologies that make hauling smoother, safer, and more efficient. At Rick Weaver Buick GMC, we’re breaking down exactly what’s included and how it can benefit you.

Rear Axle and Suspension Enhancements

One of the core upgrades in the GMC Max Trailering Package is a 9.76-inch rear axle, paired with a 3.42 axle ratio. These components help improve durability and torque distribution when under heavy load.

The package also includes heavier-duty rear springs and revised shock tuning, which work together to deliver greater stability when towing. An enhanced cooling system is added to help regulate engine temperatures during extended or high-demand hauls.

Power and Brake Support Systems

To support electrical accessories and trailer braking systems, the GMC Max Trailering Package features a 220-amp alternator. This ensures consistent power delivery, even when running additional trailering electronics. An integrated trailer brake controller is also included, offering smooth, responsive control over trailer braking from within the cab.

Visibility and Assistance Features

The GMC Max Trailering Package also unlocks access to key towing assistance features. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View makes it easier to align with a trailer, while Trailer Sway Control helps correct movement automatically if a trailer begins to shift. These features are designed to take the stress out of towing and give you more confidence behind the wheel.
