Tow Chart

2021 Chevrolet Silverado 4500 HD/5500 HD/6500 HD towing capacity

The documents we hold for the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 4500 HD/5500 HD/6500 HD do not print a trailer weight rating, so we do not show one. Check the owner's manual for your vehicle.

The top figure belongs to one specific build. Find the row that matches your engine, cab, drive and axle, and check the label on your driver's door jamb. Passengers and cargo in the truck come off what you can tow.

Hitch type not stated

The source gives these trailer weights without naming a hitch type. They are shown as printed.
