How Much Can the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Tow?

When properly equipped, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD can tow up to 18,510 pounds of trailer weight. That’s more than enough capability to move the company excavator, a multi-horse trailer or a hard-side camping trailer that fits the whole family and some big toys.

In order to tow more than nine tons of trailer weight, you’ll need the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine pumping out 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.

You’ll also need the standard Trailering Package, which comes with essential trailering hardware. This includes a Trailer Hitch, a trailering hitch platform, a 2.5-inch receiver hitch with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and a 7-wire electrical harness for connecting the trailer’s lights.

Even with the standard 6.6L V8 gas engine, you’ll still get a whopping 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty of power to tow up to 14,500 pounds.

How Much Can the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Haul?

On top of being able to tow a substantial amount of weight behind the vehicle, the 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD is also capable of hauling quite a bit of weight inside the bed of the truck.

When equipped with the largest bed possible, you’ll have 83.5 cubic feet of cargo space to work with, which is more than any of its competitors. Pack up to 3,979 pounds of payload weight inside that bed thanks to the impressive power output of the Silverado 2500 HD.

From a pile of crude rocks to big toys for your weekend adventures, the Silverado’s Durabed can handle it. As the most functional bed in its class, it sports 12 standard tie-downs, available LED cargo area lighting, and available built-in 120-volt outlet.

What Kind of Towing Technology Is Available?

The necessary hardware of the standard Trailering Package is on par with the tech-savviness of the available Advanced Trailering Package with various towing technologies to offer, including:

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View to assist with hitching the trailer
• Advanced Trailering System with in-vehicle trailer checklists
• Integration with the myChevrolet Mobile App for on-the-go trailer monitoring
• Real-time trailer data, like exterior lighting diagnostics & maintenance reminders

That’s just the tip of the trailering tech iceberg for this model, though. You can also opt for the available HD Surround Vision, which includes cameras that provide you a 360° view of your surroundings, including your trailer.
