Silverado: Maximum Towing Capacity

The 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 can tow quite a bit of trailer weight, no matter which of its six engine options you choose. When it’s properly equipped, though, this model can tow up to 13,400 pounds of maximum trailer weight.¹

With more than 13 tons of towing capability on your side, you’ll be able to move all kinds of things with ease, including:

• Full-size excavators from one worksite to another
• All but the largest hard-side camping trailers
• Massive fishing boats for tranquil days on the water
• Multi-horse trailers to safely move your animals
• Box trailers housing race cars & vintage cars

This is just a smattering of items that the Chevy Silverado 1500 can move. What you conquer and accomplish behind the wheel of this model is limited only by your imagination and ambition.

Payload Capabilities for Work & Play

When properly equipped with the Long Bed option, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers up to 89.1 total cubic feet of cargo space in the bed of the truck. Pack this space with a payload of up to 2,250 pounds when the vehicle is properly equipped.²

Take on any DIY home improvement project with confidence. Fill the bed of the Silverado with all the supplies you need: like bricks, mulch, lumbar, and more. Don’t forget the tools you’ll need, which can be secured by a rack accessory to make the most of your bed space.

Heading out for a weekend of exploring on your ATVs? Load them into the bed of the Silverado and get going without a hitch.

The Equipment That Makes It Possible

The towing and hauling capabilities of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 are made possible by the incredible power coming from under the hood.

In order to tow the maximum capacity, you’ll get the Max Trailering Package, as well as the 6.2L V8 engine, which pumps out a whopping 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The Silverado’s payload capacity, on the other hand, is made possible by its 4.3L V6 engine, which offers 305 lb-ft of torque.

The Silverado doesn’t stop there, though. This model also offers a handful of available features that will make towing and hauling easier than ever. The available In-Vehicle Trailering System keeps you up-to-date on your trailer’s stats, while the 15-camera Surround Vision system maximizes visibility while you’re hitching the trailer.
