2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing Features in Leesville, LA

With the discussion of any newly released pickup, the towing and storage capacity are going to come up. The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is no exception. How capable is this truck for heavy-hauling and off-roading? Let’s find out.

What’s the Tow Capacity?

The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a max tow capacity of 9,600 pounds. There are certain conditions that must be met, though, for the truck to have this impressive capacity limit. First, this is provided that you opt or the Crew Cab Short Box model. This in itself increases tow capacity by 2,500 pounds. Regardless of configuration, if you upgrade to the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine, that’s another 1,900-pound increase.

The 9,600-pound tow capacity is sufficient for most truck owners, as 96% from a survey indicated their towing needs never exceed 10,000 pounds. Extensive testing also revealed that the 2.7-liter turbo engine exceeded cooling performances, while the 3.0-liter Duramax engine was praised for its rear axle durability.

Improved Trailering Technology

There are several new trailer features. This includes a trailer length indicator that displays an overlay twice the length of the trailer that shows the presence of nearby vehicles. The other is a jack-knife alert that warns you if trailer jack-knifing is a high probability. Finally, new for 2021 is the cargo bed view enhancement that helps you align and hook up a fifth-wheel trailer.

Additional Add-Ons

There is an assortment of features and packages you can add for modifying and upgrading your truck capabilities. This includes the Custom Trail Boss available when upgrading to 20-inch black wheels.
