Towing Power That Works Where You Live

With up to 13,200 lbs. of max towing capacity, the GMC Sierra 1500 is built to tow in the real world—not just the showroom.

Springdale drivers use their trucks for more than errands. From towing a fishing boat to Beaver Lake to hauling equipment through the Boston Mountains, the Sierra 1500 makes it easy with features like:

• ProGrade Trailering System

• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View

Even if you’re new to towing, these smart features help you hook up confidently and head out with ease.

Ready for All Seasons in Northwest Arkansas

The weather in Springdale can flip from sunny to stormy in a matter of hours. That’s why drivers appreciate the Sierra 1500’s available 4WD system and Terrain Mode, giving you extra control during wet, icy, or uneven road conditions.

Want even more off-road capability? Consider the AT4 or AT4X trims, which offer a 2-inch factory lift, skid plates, and off-road suspension. These trims are built to tackle mountain trails or muddy job sites with confidence. They also come equipped with a steel front bumper that enhances their ruggedness and functionality, making them ideal for serious trail driving and outdoor adventures.
