2024 CHEVY SILVERADO TOWING CAPACITY

With the newest-gen Chevy Silverado pickup truck out and eager shoppers flocking to showrooms, it's worth discussing the towing capacity of this ever-loved model. Whether you need a new truck for work or leisure or are curious about this pickup's towing/payload capacity based on the engine, we're here to clear things up. There are quite a few configurations for the 2024 Chevy Silverado, so keep reading to see their respective towing figures!

2024 Chevy Silverado Towing Capacity by Engine

The Silverado 1500 towing capacity figures will change depending on which truck you get. For example, your base 2.7-liter TurboMax engine will see the lowest towing capacity, while higher configurations with 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engines will tow upwards of 13,000 pounds. Which Silverado you choose for 2024 will be based on your everyday towing habits and how you plan to use your vehicle.

2.7L TurboMax

As your base engine option, the 2.7-liter TurboMax Chevy Silverado 1500 towing capacity is 9,500 pounds (2WD). Even then, it leads its class in standard towing capability.

5.3L EcoTec3 V8

Moving up in engine configuration, the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 has a towing capacity of 11,300 pounds (2WD), making it an excellent fuel-efficient option.

6.2L EcoTec3 V8

The highest-liter Chevy Silverado 1500 engine configuration is the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8, with a towing capacity of 13,300 pounds (4WD). With this engine, you jump 2,000 pounds from 11,300, making it a decent workhorse.

3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel

This is one of the more advanced engine options in the lineup. It boasts 13,300 pounds (2WD) of towing capacity. Again, unlike the others, this engine configuration will be diesel.

2024 Chevy Silverado Payload Capacity by Engine

Payload capacities for the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 also vary by engine type. Although these figures won't be as skewed, top-line trims will offer the lowest payload capacity, while base models provide the most.

2.7L TurboMax

This base engine has a payload capacity of 2,260 pounds.

5.3L EcoTec3 V8

Your next engine option has a payload capacity of 2,080 pounds, down 180 from the base configuration.

6.2L EcoTec3 V8

Moving to the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine, this truck's payload capacity is 1,980 pounds (4WD). You move down in payload from the previous engine, which is worth noting.

3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel

Lastly, the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine sees the lowest payload capacity, at 1,970 pounds (2WD). This is your best choice for towing but not for payload.

Towing and Performance Features

In addition to anywhere from 9,500 to 13,300 pounds of towing capacity, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 boasts plenty of performance advantages. With base models seeing 310 horsepower and a robust 430 pound-feet of torque and top-line Silverados boasting 305-420 horses and 460-495 pound-feet of torque, there's little left to the imagination.

Other must-mention features include:

  • Supercruise GPS driver assistance technology
  • Driver Information Center
  • HD Surround Vision
  • Outboard monitor 
  • Adaptive Ride Control
  • Bose audio system
  • Power sunroof

Again, this pickup is a desirable choice for drivers this year.
