2013 GMC Acadia: What is the towing capacity including torque, payload, and tongue weight?

The 2013 GMC Acadia houses a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 288 horsepower and is paired to a SRX-speed automatic transmission. This allows it to produce up to 270 foot-pounds of torque. This allows the Acadia to tow up to 5,200 lbs of weight. As a general guideline, the tow tongue capacity of most vehicles is ten percent of the amount of weight it can tow. For this reason, the tow tongue of the Acadia falls at 750 lbs. Trailer weight usually refers to the weight that can be towed by the car entirely. The tongue capacity, on the other hand, is the weight that transfers onto the tongue of the towing system in the car.
