2022 Cadillac XT5 Smart Towing Features

As we outlined above, how much a 2022 Cadillac XT5 can tow isn’t determined by the engine: both the turbo-4 and the V6 upgrade can handle weights of up to 1,000 pounds. That said, you’ll still need to upgrade to the Premium Luxury AWD or Sport AWD configuration in order to equip the XT5 with the necessary equipment for towing.

Then, opt for the Smart Towing package for a hitch, hitch cover, 7-wire harness, 170-amp alternator, a heavy-duty cooling system to help the engine dissipate heat, and the following advanced towing technologies:

• Hitch Guidance – Displays guidance lines via the Rear Vision Camera when the vehicle is in Reverse for fast and easy trailer-hitching.
• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View – Displays guidance lines via the Rear Vision Camera when the vehicle is in Reverse and offers a close-up Hitch View. When Hitch View is in use, it automatically applies the electric parking brake when shifting to Park.

What’s more, the XT5 comes standard with driving mode selection to match the vehicle’s performance with Lady Lake driving conditions in real time. FWD models come with Tour, Sport, and Snow/Ice; AWD models add Tour, AWD, Sport, and Off-Road modes.
