Yes-the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV is engineered for serious hauling. It delivers up to 12,500 pounds of towing capacity, making it a genuine workhorse for trailers, boats, and weekend toys.

This capability comes from the truck's Dual Motor 4WD system, which delivers nearly instant torque to all four wheels for confident traction. When equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode, the Silverado EV generates up to 775 lb-ft of max available torque-the muscle needed to handle big tasks without compromise.

As a bonus, available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology can even support hands-free towing, adding comfort and confidence to your driving experience.
