TRAILERING –

TO THE MAX

What makes Silverado such a capable tow vehicle? You can

start with the strength of its three-piece modular frame.

Then factor in a series of standard trailering features,

such as Trailer Sway Control that keeps your truck and

trailer heading in the proper direction automatically, and

a Tow/Haul mode transmission that reduces shifting to

maintain power and torque. The available Trailering

Special Equipment Package adds such useful features as

a weight-distributing trailer hitch platform with a 51 mm

(2 in.) receiver and a 7-wire harness. The available MAX

Trailering Package takes towing to the max, with a

403 horsepower Vortec

V8 and a long list of heavy-duty

components that make it possible for Silverado to tow up

to 4853 kg (10,700 lb.).

REAR VISION CAMERA

The available rear vision camera, integrated into the rear-view mirror

or the navigation system, if so equipped, makes hooking up the easiest

part of trailering.

TOW/HAUL MODE

Standard Tow/Haul mode

adjusts the shift schedule

on the automatic transmission so it isn’t “hunting” for

the correct gear while towing or hauling.

STABILITRAK® WITH TRAILER SWAY CONTROL

The StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System works in conjunction with Trailer Sway Control

to keep your vehicle –

and your trailer – on the path being steered by sensing a loss of lateral traction and responding by adjusting the engine

output and brakes accordingly. And when you’re trailering in hilly terrain, Hill Start Assist

holds the truck stationary for

about a second after the brake is released, giving you time to accelerate before the truck can roll backward.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL

This GM segment-exclusive feature – available on 2WD and 4x4

models– directs power to the wheel that has the most traction on

slick or slippery road surfaces.

POWERTRAIN GRADE BRAKING

This advanced system automatically downshifts the 6-speed

automatic transmission to help slow the truck and preserve brake

pads on long, steep descents. An available trailer brake controller

is fully integrated with the anti-lock brake system (ABS).

MAX TRAILERING PACKAGE

The MAX Trailering Pack, available with the Vortec

6.2L V8, gives

Extended Cab models the capability to tow up to 4853 kg (10,700 lb.)

(4808 kg [10,600 lb.] on Crew Cab models).

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 Not available on Silverado Hybrid.
