The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD delivers impressive towing capability across its lineup. The 2500 HD can tow approximately 18,500 pounds, while the 3500 HD reaches up to 36,000 pounds when properly equipped-ideal for heavy commercial loads and large trailers.

The 3500 HD's optional dual rear wheels increase stability and control during demanding towing. Both models feature integrated trailering tech, including the Trailering App and multiple camera views, so you can monitor loads and navigate with confidence. Advanced braking systems and chassis engineering keep rides composed and controlled even under heavy loads.

Payload capacity on the Silverado HD also exceeds competitors-the 3500 HD offers over 7,200 pounds. For details on specific towing configurations, weight limits, and how to properly set up your Silverado HD for your exact job, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or visit our inventory online.
