2026 GMC Sierra 3500HD Towing Capacity

1,367 of 2,102 live listings carry the Z6A GOOSENECK/5TH WHEEL PACKAGE, read from the window sticker or OEM code. Updated hourly.

Our catalog rates every 2026 Sierra 3500HD trim at 20,000 lb conventional with the Duramax diesel, from the Pro to the Denali Ultimate; axle ratios show a dash where the catalog value isn't confirmed against an OEM source. For gooseneck and 5th-wheel trailers, Z6A, the gooseneck / 5th-wheel package, is rated 21,300 lb, and NHT, the Max Trailering Package listed for the Pro, 36,000 lb. The gap between those two codes is large, so check which one a truck's window sticker actually shows.

One catalog configuration per trim. Each trim comes in several engine, axle, cab and bed combinations with different ratings; a truck's own window sticker has its exact ones. A dash means the figure isn’t in our catalog or isn’t confirmed against an OEM source.

Factory tow packages

Verified packages with an OEM order code and what they change for towing. A rating is shown only where every verified source for that code agrees.
