2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Towing Capacity

Along with the rest of the Silverado family, you can find the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD dominating the off-roads and job sites in and around Schaumburg. The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD doesn’t get its popularity without reason: it’s one of the most powerful pickups on the market today, thanks to its high torque outputs and exceptional towing capabilities. How much can a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD tow? When properly equipped, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 towing capacity maxes out at an astounding 18,500 pounds. In the following guide, we break down the Chevy Silverado towing capacity even further on how you can achieve this maximum towing capacity by identifying the right drivetrains, engine options, and cab sizes.

How to Achieve the Maximum Chevy Silverado 2500 Towing Capacity

As we already established early, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 towing capacity maxes out at a stunning 18,500 pounds. The question of if you can reach this maximum Chevy Silverado towing capacity depends on how you choose to outfit your pickup. That leads into the engine choices. Streamwood drivers can choose either the following:

• 401 hp 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine with 464 lb-ft of torque
• 445 hp 6.6L V8 L5P turbo-diesel Duramax engine with 910 lb-ft of torque

If you haven’t already guessed it, given its high torque capabilities, the maximum Chevy Silverado 2500 towing capacity is made possible with the 6.6L V8 diesel engine. Even if you decide to go with the gasoline engine, you will still be able to tow exceptionally heavy loads of up to 14,500 pounds on the Bartlett jobsite. Still, even with the turbo-diesel engine equipped, you may not be able to max out on your towing tasks. Drivetrain and bed type play a major role. Here are the combinations that can achieve the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 towing capacity:

• Standard Bed Crew Cab + 2WD + Turbo-Diesel 6.6L V8 L5P
• Standard Bed Crew Cab + 4WD + Turbo-Diesel 6.6L V8 L5P
• Long Bed Crew Cab + 2WD + Turbo-Diesel 6.6L V8 L5P
• Long Bed Crew Cab + 4WD + Turbo-Diesel 6.6L V8 L5P

Choosing any of the double cab sizes will lower your towing capacity to 14,500 pounds regardless of the engine and drivetrain, but again, 14,500 pounds is still a very powerful minimum.
