2013 GMC Savana 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What can I tow in a GMC? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Savana 1500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your GMC, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
