Towing Capabilities

With the 3.0L Duramax engine, your Silverado 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds and a maximum available payload of 2,260 pounds. The available Trailering Package supports an efficient towing process by including the following features:

  • Trailer hitch
  • Trailering hitch platform
  • 2-inch receiver hitch
  • 4-pin and 7-pin connectors
  • 7-wire electrical harness
  • 7-pin sealed connector

Hitch Guidance is a particularly beneficial feature, as it gives you an enhanced view of your hitch and trailer using rearview cameras and sensors. It also provides guidelines for lining up your trailer and hitch perfectly. The Trailering Package is available on the WT trim and standard on all higher trims.

Exterior Elements

The new Silverado 1500 has 17-inch all-season blackwall tires and ultra silver painted steel wheels that can take on tough terrains. The solar-absorbing glass windows block the sun’s intense rays, protecting both your skin and interior elements. Solar-absorbing glass also prevents your cabin from heating up on sunny days.

Cab-mounted cargo area lamps make nighttime work a breeze by brightening your truck bed. The Silverado’s twelve cargo tie-downs let you haul large loads, with each corner rated at 500 pounds! The available tailgate with EZ Lift comes with assist, power lock, and release functions that allow you to open and adjust your tailgate with the simple push of a button.
