Chevrolet Towing Capacities Guide


Your Guide to Chevy Truck Towing Capacities for 2024

When things get down to the nitty-gritty, you need a truck that can haul and tow like a champ. At Berglund Chevrolet Buick Roanoke, we’re proud to say that Chevy trucks meet that demand time and time again. Here’s a look at the real-world numbers that mean the most when it comes to towing.

2024 Chevy Silverado HD: Unmatched Towing Power

Let’s start with the big boys. When you need a truck that puts on its super suit and shows up at the job site (or road trip) to be the unsung hero, the Silverado HD models – that’s the 2500 and the 3500 – are what you’re looking for. The gas-powered models can tow up to 17,400 pounds when properly equipped, and the diesel-powered Silverado HD can tow a mind-boggling 36,000 pounds.

2024 Chevy Colorado: Versatility in Action

Let’s back up a little bit: The Chevy Colorado is – technically – a midsize truck. But its base model uses a 237-horsepower 2.7-liter engine combined with a smooth-as-silk eight-speed transmission. Upgrade to higher trims, and your Colorado produces as much as 310 horsepower, and you’ll be able to tow anywhere from 3,500 up to 7,700 pounds when the Colorado is properly equipped.

2024 Chevy Silverado 1500: Power and Reliability

One of Chevy's most popular trucks is the Silverado 1500. Take your pick of three different powertrains to meet your towing needs. The 5.3-liter V6 is capable of towing up to 11,500 pounds, while the turbocharged four-cylinder can tow up to 9,500 pounds – which matches some trucks’ V8 engines in this class – and the mighty, mighty 6.2-liter V8 tows up to 13,300 pounds.
