Chevrolet towing capacity, by configuration

Common questions
How much can a Chevrolet tow?
It depends entirely on the exact configuration, not the model name. Across the 15 Chevrolet vehicles published here there are 197 distinct configurations ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 lb. Find your own model in the table on this page, then your exact engine, drivetrain, cab and bed combination on its page.
Why does one Chevrolet model have more than one tow rating?
Because the rating is set by the configuration, not the badge. The Chevrolet Traverse is the clearest example here: it spans 1,500–5,000 lb, a 233% difference between its lowest and highest published configuration. Two trucks with the same name on the tailgate can be thousands of pounds apart.
Where do these Chevrolet numbers come from?
Each one is read positionally from Chevrolet's own published towing chart or specification page, linked on every vehicle page. We publish no figure we cannot point at a manufacturer source for. See how this is made.
Why is there no payload figure for Chevrolet here?
Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model — it is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Your tongue weight counts against it, which is why it matters when you tow.
