Yes-the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a true work-ready truck with impressive towing capability. It can tow up to 12,500 pounds, giving you the strength to handle trailers, boats, and weekend toys with confidence.

The dual-motor 4WD system delivers nearly instantaneous torque to all four wheels, enhancing traction and control when towing in changing conditions. For added convenience, the available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology can even support hands-free towing, making long hauls easier and more comfortable.

With its combination of electric power and genuine truck capability, the Silverado EV proves that going electric doesn't mean compromising on work. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to learn how the Silverado EV fits your hauling needs.
