This towing package adds upgraded cooling capacity, stiffer rear springs, revised axle ratios, and integrated trailer brake controls to ensure stability when hauling heavy loads.

To complement its towing capability, Chevrolet builds every Silverado with the roll-formed high-strength steel Durabed. The bed offers up to 89 cubic feet of cargo volume on long bed variants along with 12 standard tie-down points rated at 500 pounds per corner. Available trailering features include:
