Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum towing capacity for a Cadillac XT6?

The maximum towing capacity for a properly equipped Cadillac XT6 is 4,200 lbs (1,905 kg) for FWD models and 4,000 lbs (1,814 kg) for AWD models (2024 and newer). Earlier models (2020-2023) have slightly lower capacities.

Do I need a towing package for the Cadillac XT6?

Yes, to achieve maximum towing capacity, your XT6 must be equipped with the factory towing package. This includes an integrated trailer brake controller, enhanced cooling system, and trailer sway control.

How does passenger and cargo weight affect towing capacity?

Your XT6 has a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) that includes the vehicle weight, passengers, cargo, and trailer. Additional weight in the vehicle reduces the available capacity for towing.

The base model XT6 without a towing package has a very limited towing capacity (typically 1,000 lbs or less). For serious towing, the factory towing package is essential.

Are there different towing regulations in different countries?

Yes, towing regulations vary by country. In the EU, requirements for trailer brakes, lighting, and mirrors may differ from North American standards. Always check local regulations before towing internationally.
