- 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.
- 2 Gross Combination Weight
Rating.
- 3 QUADRASTEER will reduce trailer
weight ratings. See your Chevy dealer for additional details.
- NOTE: Gross Combination Weight Rating. Trailer
tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 1,000
lbs. on 1500 models and up to 1,500 lbs. on 1500HD models). • Addition of trailer
tongue 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 door frame. • Z82 Heavy-Duty
Trailering Equipment Package includes trailer hitch platform and trailer electrical
connector.
| SILVERADO 1500 AND
1500HD FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILERING |
| Fifth-wheel trailering with a
Silverado 1500 or 1500HD requires Z85 Increased Capacity, ZX3 Manual Select Damping or
Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package (4x4 only). Please read the Trailering Basics before
towing a trailer with any Chevy Truck. |

- 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.
- 2 Gross Combination Weight
Rating.
- 3 QUADRASTEER will reduce trailer
weight ratings. See your Chevy dealer for additional details.
- NOTE: Gross Combination Weight Rating. Trailer
tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 1,000
lbs. on 1500 models and up to 1,500 lbs. on 1500HD models). • Addition of trailer
tongue 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 door frame. • Z82 Heavy-Duty
Trailering Equipment Package includes trailer hitch platform and trailer electrical
connector.
