Towing Capacity: Chevy Silverado HD

The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD offers two different configurations resulting in two different towing capacity ratings. When properly equipped, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 can tow up to 18,510 pounds of trailer weight.

With more than 18 tons of towing capacity on your side, you’ll be able to conquer the weekend with confidence. Move the family fishing boat or hard-side camping trailer without breaking a sweat. Or, set out for adventure with a few snowmobiles, ATVs, or jet skis strapped to a flatbed trailer.

For the biggest possible projects, consider the Chevy Silverado 3500, the heaviest of the heavy-duty pickup trucks Chevy has to offer. With this Chevy Silverado HD iteration, you’ll be able to move a whopping 35,500 pounds of trailer equipment when properly quipped.

The Equipment that Makes It Possible

The Chevy Silverado HD, which is comprised of the 2500 model and the 3500 model, can be equipped with two optional engines. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine makes an impressive 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque.

For even more power, swap this engine out for the Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine with a segment-exclusive air induction system. This engine pairs with an all-new Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission expertly delivering power so you can tow and haul at peak performance.

Both engines are available for both models, but the configurations and available towing features of either model makes all the difference when it comes to how they perform.

Silverado HD: Maximum Payload Capacity

The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD can also handle quite a bit of weight inside the bed of the truck. The Chevy Silverado 2500 is rated to handle up to 3,991 pounds of weight when it’s properly equipped. For maximum payload capability, consider the Silverado 3500, which can handle up to 7,442 pounds of payload weight when the vehicle is properly equipped.

From bricks to ATVs and full-size furniture and boxes when moving, the Chevy Silverado HD is more than capable of moving it and getting the job done.
