Year after year, the pickup truck segment seems to have better towing capacities than ever before. The Silverado 1500 follows suit. It can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped.

Imagine what you can move with that much muscle! Hitch up your family boat or even a camper trailer and plan your weekend—or longer!—away from it all. When Monday makes its return, you’ll also be able to pull your supplies to the jobsite.

The strength of the Chevy Silverado starts under the hood. If you’re looking to haul its maximum towing capacity, you’ll need the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8. It kicks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque .

The Chevy Silverado ZR2 is the most off-road-ready trim level. It’s designed to provide a commanding ride when the trails get rough. If you’re going off the grid, the ZR2 can answer the call with off-road performance features, such as:

• Multimatic DSSV™ dampers
• High-approach front bumper
• Front/rear full-locking differentials
• 2-speed transfer case
• Underbody skid plates
• Dual-outlet exhaust

The Multimatic DSSV™ dampers are some of the most advanced on the market. They have three separate spool valves to control damping and three connected chambers for fluid flow. Whether you’re crawling over big boulders or jumping in and out of deep gullies, these will smooth out the ride so you can enjoy supreme comfort and control.

If you’re looking to get into the rough stuff, you can also opt for the Silverado ZR2 Bison Edition. It comes with unique design elements including AEV® Bison front and rear bumpers, black vertical front tow hooks, and gloss black 18-inch AEV® unique wheels.

When you tow in the Silverado 1500, you can count on an assist from a range of advanced towing technologies.

This pickup makes every towing job easier with up to 14 available camera views. From a top-down, bird’s-eye view to a close-up look at the receiver hitch, you’ll have all the angles you need to tow with confidence.
