This chart is for use with a weight-distributing hitch. When using a weight-carrying hitch, the maximum trailer weight is 1,814kg (4000 lbs) with a 181kg (400-lb) tongue weight. A weight-distributing hitch-
and-sway control is required for trailer weights greater than 1,814kg (4000 lbs). NOTES ON Express: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 percent to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (454kg/1000 lbs).
Addition of trailer tongue weight cannot cause vehicle to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The standard base
cooling system includes all content required to attain maximum trailer rating. No optional cooling equipment available. The Heavy-Duty Trailering Equipment Package
(Z82) includes trailer hitch platform and seven-wire trailer wiring harness.

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.
