The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 can tow this much weight, thanks to the available 6.2L V8 engine. This engine makes an outstanding 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty of muscle for moving trailers big and small.

While the engine is the star of the show when it comes to towing, it doesn’t work alone to make it happen. In order to move the maximum towing capacity, this vehicle needs to be equipped with the Max Trailering Package. With this package, you’ll get an array of necessary features, like an automatic locking rear differential, Handling/Trailering Suspension Package, trailer brake controller, and more.

To make towing as easy and convenient as possible, you can also opt for several additional features, including an Advanced Trailering System and a Tow/Haul mode, which will enhance your driving response for smoother towing.
