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 Chevrolet dealer for additional details.
NOTES ON AVALANCHE: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total trailer weight (up to 272 kg/600 lbs.). A weight-distributing hitch and sway control is required for trailer weights greater than 2268
kg/5000 lbs. A 7-wire trailering harness is standard on all Avalanche models. (K5L) Heavy-Duty Trailering Package including (KNP) external transmission oil cooler and (KC4) engine oil cooler must be ordered in
order to achieve maximum trailer ratings. Addition of trailer tongue weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Avalanche is
not designed to tow 5th-wheel or gooseneck trailers.
