Towing capacity of a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT?

Answer 1

this is directly from the 2002 grand am owners manual. "How heavy can a tailer safely be? It should never weigh more than 1000 lbs.(454 kg). But even that can be too heavy. It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temp and how much your vehiclre is used to pull a trailer are all imnportant. And any special equipment that you have on your vehicle." what i got from all that lingo from gm is max weight is 1000 lbs. i would not go over 1000 lbs. just remember that the grand am gt does not produce very much touque at low speed and rpm. the engine in the grand am gt is a mid range engine. if you are gonna tow in a area with a lot of upward grades your tranny is gonna work overtime. (make sure you have good clean oil, good clean coolant, tranny serviced- next to the engine it's gonna do most of the work.) good luck and i hoped this helped. vince
