What is the towing capacity of a Chevrolet Silverado?

The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck has a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds. This requires the trim level with the EcoTec3 6.2L V8 engine. The Chevrolet special edition Silverado SS is named the Intimidator SS, and the 3500 Heavy Duty model can tow 16,700 pounds.

There are three generations of the Chevrolet Silverado, starting with the 2003 Silverado SS.
