WILL USING THE 2026 GMC SIERRA EV AT4 MAKE MY BOAT TOWING EXPERIENCE BETTER OR WORSE?

EV Channels Review

The 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 demonstrates impressive power and capability for towing, offering 725 horsepower in its maximum mode and a theoretical towing range of approximately 246 miles with a 6,000 lb boat. The reviewer highlights its excellent charging speed, achieving a 40% charge in about 27 minutes at a Level 3 DC fast charger. However, the experience is marred by several drawbacks. The reviewer notes significant noise from the hitch banging, a less comfortable ride due to a firm suspension, and issues with driver aids at the boat ramp, such as persistent parking sensor warnings and the truck shutting off when doors are opened after shifting gears. While Super Cruise is praised for its ability to function while towing, the overall driver aid experience is rated a 'B' due to these cumbersome interactions. The reviewer concludes that while the Sierra EV AT4 is a very close contender for being one of the best trucks, these refinements, along with the broader charging infrastructure challenges for towing, prevent it from achieving that title.
