1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated
assuming a base vehicle, except any option(s) necessary to achieve the
rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers
and cargo required will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle
can tow. See your Chevy Truck dealer for additional details.
NOTE: Trailer tongue
weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to
1,500 lbs.). Addition of trailer tongue 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 door frame. Z82 Heavy-Duty
Trailering Equipment Package includes trailer hitch platform, trailer
electrical connector and trailer brake control harness.

1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated
assuming a base vehicle, except any option(s) necessary to achieve the
rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers
and cargo required will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle
can tow. See your Chevy Truck dealer for additional details.
NOTE: Trailer kingpin
weight should be 15 to 25 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to
3,000 lbs. on 2500HD models and up to 3,500 lbs. on 3500 models).
Addition of 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 door frame. Fifth-wheel hitch is available
as a dealer-installed accessory on select models. |
