Is the new 2018 GMC Terrain with the 2.0L Turbo 4cyl, 9-speed towable? I tried Remco, but they only go up to 2017 and I tried Motorhome Mag, and just says come back later.

Why don't you Google "2018 GMC Terrain Owner's Manual" and read same?

Can be towed 4 down.

All others need to be towed on a trailer.

I would think the GMC vehicles are the same.

NO THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!! Starting in 2018 GMC went to the 9 speed automatic on all of it's models except the 1.6T Diesel which still uses the 6 speed automatic. However GMC no longer certifies any of it's Terrain models as towable 4 down as per page 339 of the owners manual. The FWD models are towable only on a dolly.

I like the 6 on my Tahoe but nine would be fabulous. So much better than the four on the 2001 and 2007 Tahoes.

I don't think that is a 1.5T Terrain, I believe it is a 2018 Equinox which still uses the 6 speed trans on some models. As of 2018 GMC went 9 speed trans on all of it's Terrain models except the 1.6T Diesel which still uses the 6 speed but is not certified for 4 down towing by GMC.

According to page 339 of the 2018 GMC Terrain Owners Manual all wheel drive models CANNOT be towed 4 down, they MUST be towed on a trailer. The FWD models may be towed on a dolly.

You want my opinion? Why not wait until official information is available?
