Wilcoxson GMC - Can the 2027 GMC Acadia Tow a Small Camper for Pueblo, CO Families? The 2027 GMC Acadia can be a strong fit for Pueblo, CO families who want one SUV for weekday driving, passenger space and light recreational towing, including many small campers, utility trailers and gear trailers when properly equipped. For shoppers comparing three-row SUVs around Pueblo, the real question is not just whether the Acadia can tow. It is whether the Acadia can tow in a way that still works for everyday life. You may need room for kids, sports bags, groceries from the north side of town, a cooler for Lake Pueblo State Park or supplies for a weekend toward Beulah, Canon City or the San Isabel area. That is where the 2027 GMC Acadia becomes especially compelling. It combines seating for up to eight, a 2.5L Turbo engine, available all-wheel-drive confidence, smart trailering capability and a flexible cargo area in a mid-size SUV that still feels manageable around Pueblo streets and parking lots. How Much Can the 2027 GMC Acadia Tow? The 2027 GMC Acadia offers up to 5,000 lbs. of max trailering* with the standard Trailering Package. That number places it in a practical range for many real-world family towing needs, especially for shoppers who are not looking for a full-size truck but still want the ability to bring extra equipment along. A small camper, pair of personal watercraft, small fishing boat, enclosed utility trailer, dirt bike trailer or compact cargo trailer may fall within this capability depending on the trailer’s loaded weight, passengers, cargo and equipment. The Acadia’s 2.5L Turbo engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and delivers 328 hp and 326 lb.-ft. of torque. For Pueblo drivers, that matters because many trips are not perfectly flat or empty. Heading west on US-50, merging onto I-25 or traveling with passengers and luggage puts more demand on a vehicle than a simple spec sheet suggests. The Acadia’s turbocharged powertrain gives this SUV confident everyday response while also supporting its available towing capability. Why the Tow Rating Is Only Part of the Answer When you are deciding whether the 2027 GMC Acadia can tow your camper, the loaded trailer weight matters more than the empty trailer weight. A camper listed at a modest dry weight can gain weight quickly once you add water, propane, food, bedding, tools, camp chairs and outdoor gear. Pueblo families often use an SUV for several roles at once, so it is important to think through the total ownership setup before hitching up. A practical towing check should include: Loaded trailer weight: Confirm the trailer’s expected weight after gear, fluids and accessories are added. Passenger load: Account for adults, kids, pets and personal items inside the Acadia. Cargo placement: Keep heavier items properly secured and avoid overloading the rear cargo area. Hitch equipment: Use the right hitch, wiring and towing accessories for your specific trailer. Owner’s Manual guidance: Review GMC towing instructions, weight limits and safety procedures before towing. At Wilcoxson GMC, we can help you compare your camper or trailer details against the 2027 Acadia’s capability so you can shop with confidence. If you already own a trailer, bring the specifications with you. If you are still shopping for one, we can help you understand what numbers to look for before making a decision. How the 2027 Acadia Helps with Pueblo-Area Towing The 2027 GMC Acadia includes a Traction Select System with up to six available distinct drive modes, allowing you to tailor the SUV’s behavior to different driving conditions. Available modes can include Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, AWD on AWD models and Tow/Haul*. For towing, Tow/Haul* is especially useful because it is designed to support more confident performance when pulling a trailer. This matters around Pueblo because local drives can change character quickly. A normal weekday may include school drop-off, work parking downtown, errands near Pueblo Mall and a highway run toward Pueblo West. A weekend towing trip might include longer grades, crosswinds on open roads or tighter parking at a campsite or boat ramp. The Acadia gives drivers tools to adapt without having to step up to a larger vehicle than needed. For shoppers who also spend time on unpaved access roads, the 2027 GMC Acadia AT4 adds capability-focused equipment such as an Active Torque Control AWD system, off-road tuned suspension, lifted ride height, 18" dark machined aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires, steel skid plates and AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode. That does not make it a substitute for careful driving or proper trailering practices, but it can be a smart choice for owners whose plans include more than pavement. Passenger and Cargo Space Still Matter When You Tow A major advantage of the 2027 Acadia is that it does not ask families to choose between towing capability and usable interior space. The Acadia offers seating for up to eight, which is helpful for Pueblo households that need a true three-row SUV. Depending on trim and seating configuration, it can support school routines, after-school activities, visiting relatives and weekend travel without feeling like a single-purpose tow vehicle. Cargo flexibility is another big part of the equation. The 2027 Acadia offers 23.00 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the third row, 57.30 cu. ft. behind the second row and up to 97.51 cu. ft. of max cargo volume behind the first row. That gives owners options. You can keep the third row up for people and still use the rear cargo area for everyday items, or fold seating to create more space for bulky gear when fewer passengers are coming along. The AutoSense Power Liftgate also adds convenience. When your key fob is in your pocket or bag, you can open the liftgate hands-free by walking up to the rear of the Acadia. That is a simple feature, but it becomes valuable when your hands are full with camping supplies, a child’s backpack, folding chairs or grocery bags. Camera Views and Driver Assistance for More Confidence Towing is easier when you can see more of what is happening around your SUV. The 2027 GMC Acadia offers up to 10 available camera views*, depending on trim. Elevation and AT4 list HD Surround Vision* and 9 camera views*, while Denali adds 10 camera views*. For owners who plan to tow occasionally, camera technology can make hitch alignment, parking and low-speed maneuvering feel more manageable. The Acadia also offers over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies*. Important features include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian & Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Alert. These features are designed to support driver awareness during daily driving and longer trips, including routes with changing traffic flow around I-25, US-50 and surface streets throughout Pueblo. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information. Which 2027 GMC Acadia Trim Makes Sense for Towing? The right trim depends on how you plan to use your Acadia. The Elevation trim brings a strong standard feature set, including the 2.5L turbo engine, Traction Select System, Bose* Premium 12-speaker audio system, 15" diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System*, 11" diagonal Driver Information Center, AutoSense Power Liftgate, HD Surround Vision* and over 19 safety and driver assistance technologies*. For many Pueblo families, Elevation may cover the essentials beautifully. The AT4 is the trim to consider if your towing plans often include unpaved roads, outdoor recreation or rougher access points. Its Active Torque Control AWD system, lifted ride height, all-terrain tires and AT4-exclusive Terrain Mode give it a more adventure-focused character. If you like the idea of towing a small camper toward mountain roads or bringing gear to less developed areas, AT4 deserves a close look. Denali and Denali Ultimate add more premium comfort and technology. Denali includes leather-appointed first- and second-row seats, heated and ventilated front seats, a configurable 8" diagonal Head-Up Display, 10 camera views*, wireless charging* and third-row power-folding seats with second-row one-touch folding seats. Denali Ultimate adds features such as Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology* with a 3-year OnStar® One plan*, heated and ventilated Woodland Mahogany full-leather massaging front seats, Bose* 16-Speaker Performance Series sound system and a panoramic sunroof.
