  • How much can I tow in a GMC Sonoma? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Sonoma's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your GMC Sonoma’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your GMC's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC Sonoma leak transmission fluid? Yes. GMC Sonoma transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
