At Moran Chevrolet Fort Gratiot, we know drivers put their trucks to real work, launching boats on Lake Huron, hauling campers up north, and pulling equipment to job sites. The 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 was designed for exactly that life. The Chevy Silverado 1500 towing capability backs it up with the right combination of powerful performance and technology.
Up to 13,300 Pounds of Capability
The 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers four engine choices to match your towing demands. The 2.7-liter TurboMax™ handles up to 9,500 pounds, that’s plenty for a fishing boat or utility trailer. The 5.3-liter EcoTec3® V8 tows up to 11,300 lbs, and both the 6.2-liter EcoTec3® V8 and available Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel reach a maximum of 13,300 lbs when properly equipped with the Max Trailering Package. The diesel delivers 495 lb-ft of torque for effortless low-end pulling power on long hauls.
Technology That Works as Hard as You Do
Raw capacity is only part of the story. Tow/Haul Mode adjusts transmission behavior and adds engine braking on downhill grades. Trailer Sway Control works with StabiliTrak® to detect and correct unwanted trailer movement automatically. The available In-Vehicle Trailering App® lets you build custom trailer profiles and pre-trip checklists right from the infotainment screen. For highway towing, available Super Cruise® on the High Country trim allows hands-free driving on compatible roads.
