1. Maximum payload capacity includes weight of driver, passengers, optional equipment and cargo.
2. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). When properly equipped, includes weight of vehicle, driver, passengers, optional equipment and cargo.

NOTE: Your vehicle may require additional special equipment to tow the maximum trailer weights listed here. The weight-carrying hitch limit for TrailBlazer is a 4,000-lb. trailer with 400-lb. tongue weight. Weight-distributing hitch and sway control required over 4,000-lb. trailer weight.

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. GCWR: The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment and conversion. A properly equipped tow vehicle and trailer at the maximum GCWR should be able to accelerate and merge with traffic, climb typical interstate grades at highway speeds, handle the combination on most road surfaces and stop adequately within a reasonable distance. The GCWR for your vehicle should not be exceeded. USING GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATINGS (GCWRs) TO DETERMINE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND REAR AXLE RATIOS: You can use your desired GCWR calculation to determine the powertrain you will require to tow a specific trailer with your TrailBlazer. The last column to the right in the chart above shows the maximum allowable GCWR based on all available TrailBlazer engine, transmission, and rear axle combinations. The GCWR includes the total loaded weight of both TrailBlazer and the trailer.

NOTE: Your vehicle may require additional special equipment to tow the maximum trailer weights listed here. The weight-carrying hitch limit for TrailBlazer is a 4,000-lb. trailer with 400-lb. tongue weight. Weight-distributing hitch and sway control required over 4,000-lb. trailer weight.

NOTE: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 750 lbs.). 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 doorframe. Base cooling system includes all content required to attain maximum trailer rating. No optional cooling equipment available.
