Factors That Affect Towing Capacity
The towing capacity of the new Chevy Silverado 1500 varies based on several key factors. The engine you choose greatly affects how much this truck can tow. Silverado 1500 buyers in Raleigh will find a range of powerful engine options, from the standard 2.7L Turbo to the mighty 6.2L EcoTec3 V8. The drivetrain also impacts towing capacity, with 4x4 models typically able to tow more than 4x2 trucks.
Another factor in towing capacity is the cab and bed configuration you select. Wake Forest truck shoppers can choose from regular, double, and crew cab models, each with different bed lengths available. Generally, regular cab models with long beds will have higher max towing capacities than larger cabs with standard beds.
Towing Capacity by Configuration
So how much can the new Chevy Silverado 1500 actually tow? It depends on how you configure it. But properly equipped, this pickup powerhouse can handle up to 13,300 pounds. That's enough to tow a good-sized camper, boat, or loaded trailer. Drivers in Garner, NC, who plan to do a lot of heavy towing should opt for a Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L V8 engine and Max Trailering Package for the highest towing capacities.
Even entry-level Silverado models are no slouch in the towing department. Regular cab models with the 2.7L Turbo engine can still tow an impressive 9,600 pounds when properly equipped. That's more than enough muscle for most Clayton, NC, drivers' towing needs. From the job site to the campsite, the Silverado 1500 is ready to work.
Towing Technology
Of course, the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers more than just raw towing power. This smart pickup also features a range of advanced towing technologies to provide a safer, easier towing experience. Available features like trailer sway control, auto-grade braking, and a trailer brake controller help keep your load stable and controlled, especially on hilly terrain.
The Silverado's advanced trailering system also includes helpful cameras that provide up to 15 unique views around the truck and trailer. You can even get a cool transparent trailer view that lets you virtually see through your trailer for easier navigation and parking.
