SRW — Single-Rear Wheel. DRW — Dual-Rear Wheel. 1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s)
necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle
can tow. See your Chevy dealer for additional details. 2 Gross Combination Weight Rating. 3 With Heavy Duty Cooling Package. 4 Interim availability. NOTE:
Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 1,500 lbs. on 2500HD and 3500HD models). Trailer kingpin weight should
be 15 to 25 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 3,000 lbs. on 2500HD and up to 3,500 lbs. on 3500HD models). N Addition of trailer tongue weight/
trailer kingpin weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings
can be found on the certification label located on the driver door or doorframe.
TR AILERING BASICS
N O T E : Towing a trailer involves all major vehicle systems of your Chevy Truck. Easy and safe trailering requires a properly equipped
vehicle, additional trailering equipment and an appropriate trailer. It also requires loading both the vehicle and trailer properly, using
safe driving techniques, meeting regional legal requirements, and following break-in and maintenance schedules. The vehicle owner
is responsible for obtaining the proper equipment (hitch ball, hitch type of the proper size, type and capacity) required to safely tow
both the trailer and the load that will be towed. For more information, consult your Owner’s Manual or speak to a trailering expert
at your Chevrolet dealership. These charts will assist in determining how to best equip your Chevy Truck for trailering. To help you
understand the charts, consider these trailering factors:
R G AW R A N D G V W R : Addition of trailer hitch weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating
(RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings can be found on the certification label located on the driver door
or doorframe.
G C W R : The Gross Combination Weight Rating is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer.
M A X I M U M T R A I L E R R AT I N G : This rating is determined by subtracting the tow vehicle’s weight (curb weight) from the
GCWR. When a base vehicle (curb) weight is used, additional passenger, equipment and cargo weight reduces this rating.
N O T E : The safety steps described here are by no means the only precautions to be taken when trailering. See the Owner’s Manual
for your Chevy Silverado for additional guidelines and trailering tips.
T R A I L E R I N G C A U T I O N : If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive properly, you can lose control of your vehicle when
you pull a trailer. If the trailer is too heavy, your vehicle brakes may be less effective. You and your passengers could be seriously
injured. Pull a trailer only after you have taken the following steps.
T R A I L E R B R A K E S : If your trailer weighs more than 2,000 lbs. loaded, then it must have its own adequate brakes. Be sure to
read and follow the instructions for the trailer brake controller so that it is installed, adjusted and maintained properly. N Don’t
tap into your vehicle’s brake system if the trailer’s brake system will use more than 0.02 cu. in. of fluid from your vehicle’s master
cylinder. If it does, neither braking system will work well. N The trailer brake parts must be able to take 3,000 psi of pressure. If
everything checks out thus far, have a qualified individual make the brake fluid tap at the master cylinder port that sends fluid to
the rear brakes. Use only double-walled steel brake tubing.
H I T C H E S : It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. N If you’ll be towing a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh more
than 5,000 lbs.1 be sure to use a frame-mounted, weight-distributing hitch and sway control of the proper size. N If you have to
make any holes in the body of your vehicle to install a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes if you ever remove the hitch. If they’re
not sealed, dirt, water and deadly carbon monoxide from the exhaust can get into your vehicle.
F I F T H - W H E E L T R A I L E R I N G : Silverado pickups can be equipped with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer hitch. N Follow the
manufacturer’s directions for installation, but note that the hitch must be attached to the truck frame. Do not use the pickup
bed for additional support. For proper kingpin tongue load distribution and control of the trailer, the hitch must be mounted
so the kingpin load is placed ahead of the rear axle centerline. N Fifth-wheel trailer kingpin loads are higher than conventional
trailer tongue loads, so pay careful attention to the truck’s payload capacity and rear axle weight ratings. N Your Chevy dealer
can help you calculate the maximum allowable payload and GVWR required for your fifth-wheel trailering application. The
weight of any additional equipment and all passengers other than the driver must be subtracted from the payload weight to
determine the maximum kingpin load available.
1 Maximum trailer rating may be less depending on powertrain combinations.
