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 Gross Combination Weight Rating. 3 Maximum payload capacity includes weight of driver, passengers, optional equipment and cargo. 4 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). When prop-
erly equipped; includes vehicle, passengers, cargo and equipment. NOTE: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight. Trailer kingpin weight should be 15 to 25 percent of total loaded trailer weight.
• Addition of trailer
tongue weight/trailer kingpin 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.
• Fifth-wheel hitch is available as a dealer-installed accessory on select models. See the Trailering Basics for more trailering information. 5 Maximum trailer rating may be less depending on powertrain combination.
