Towing Approximations

The following are simply approximations, and should only be regarded as a basis to your research. Speak with a representative at our dealer of the Silverado 1500, if you have questions about towing a certain item. A large travel trailer weighs between 5,000 to 9,000 lbs. of its typical empty weight, which means when nothing is inside the item, This vehicle is even capable of towing an open utility trailer with its typical GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. This would measure at 2,000 to 7,000 lbs. of this item’s weight.

Tips for Towing Safely

With the traffic in North Hills, it’s very important to make each trip as safe as possible. The tires of the trailer are crucial to make this happen. These components don’t last forever, so they may need to be swapped out before you make your way to a camping site. Also, a spare tire can make the difference between continuing a journey or having to ask for outside help. Lastly, it’s never fun to have to halt your trip if the brakes or engine light is one, so it would be wise to have these tasks done before you set out on the road.
