Silverado Maximum Towing Capacity

The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 can tow with any one of its six available engines under the hood. However, when properly equipped with the available 6.2L V8 engine and the Max Trailering Package, you’ll be able to tow up to 13,300 pounds of trailer weight.

With this kind of trailering capability at your fingertips, you’ll be able to pull anything from a multi-horse travel trailer to the company excavator. Hitch the heaviest hard-side camping trailer for a weekend of fun or hitch a flatbed trailer to the rear to load up with home improvement project supplies.

If you don’t need the maximum trailering capacity, any other engine will do just fine:

	Horsepower	Torque	Max. Trailering
2.7L Turbo I4	310 HP	348 lb-ft	9,600 lbs.
3.0L Turbo-Diesel	277 HP	460 lb-ft	9,500 lbs.

5.3L V8	355 HP	383 lb-ft	9,700 lbs.
