Check Out The 2024 Cadillac XT6 Towing Capacities

Aside from a handful of new paint options and exterior accent packages, the 2024 Cadillac XT6 has only minor changes and updates over the 2023 model. Previously, Cadillac Society took a deep dive into pricing for the three-row luxury crossover, and today, we’re breaking down the 2024 XT4 towing capacities. 

Before going too much further, let’s revisit the 2024 Cadillac XT6 engine lineup, since towing capacities depend on which of two engines is under the hood. The first is the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 engine (production code LGX), rated at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. This engine is standard on Premium Luxury and Sport models. The second is the turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY), which is rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This option is offered exclusively on the base Luxury trim. Both engines bolt to Cadillac’s nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard, while all-wheel-drive (AWD) is optional.

Additionally, to support towing duties, the 2024 XT6 is offered with the optional Smart Towing Package (production code V92), available on Premium Luxury and Sport trims. Opting for this package enables the XT6 to tow up to 4,000 pounds.

Meanwhile, the 2024 XT6 Luxury, which is not available with the Smart Towing Package, as well as the Premium Luxury and Sport models not equipped with the Smart Towing Package are rated at a maximum of 1,000 pounds in towing capacity.

Cadillac recommends that drivers don’t tow with their XT6 during the first 500 miles (800 kilometers) of vehicle use to prevent damage to the engine, axles or other parts. In addition, owners are advised to perform an oil change before heavy towing and should not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) or make full-throttle starts during the first 500 miles (800 kilometers) of trailer towing. Finally, while the XT6 is capable of towing in Drive, if the driver finds that the transmission downshifts too often, a lower gear can be selected by using manual mode.

Beyond that, Cadillac recommends that owners deactivate several features and technologies before pulling a trailer, including:

  • Park Assist
  • Reverse Automatic Braking
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Rear Cross Traffic Braking
  • Lane Change Alert
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (unless the vehicle is equipped with trailering functionality)
  • Super Cruise (unless the vehicle is equipped with trailering functionality)
