  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your C2500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
