What is the 2020 GMC Terrain towing capacity?

My youngest child finally shipped off to college and for the first time in decades, my wife and I are free to do what we want. We’ve always dreamed of bringing a camper to various national parks, but first I need a car that can tow. Will a 2020 GMC Terrain tow a small camper?

The 2020
GMC Terrain
is a top-rated car that’s a great reward for years of parenting. So if you want to camp at national parks, you’ll be excited to know that the 2020 GMC Terrain towing capacity is up to 3,500 pounds.
However, you need to upgrade to the larger engine to achieve this towing capacity. The GMC Terrain comes with a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. This enables the Terrain to tow 1,500 pounds.
But with the available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Terrain is good for 252 horsepower, 262 pound-feet of torque, and 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.
