2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing Features

While pickups can be great daily drivers and even perfect family cars, they are still made to be workhorse vehicles. If you’re looking for a truck that likes to get dirty, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is it.

Here we go over why this is a very sought-after pickup by construction crews and other people who need to do a lot of towing:

Power
The Chevy Silverado 1500 comes with a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. If those numbers aren’t enough, you can instead opt for one of four other engines:

• 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder: 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque
• 3.0-liter turbodiesel six-cylinder: 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
• 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower: 383 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower: 460 lb-ft of torque

You can get either an eight- or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel drive is an option.

Towing Capability
Few models can compete with the Chevy Silverado 1500 when it comes to tow rating. While the base V6 can tow between 7,200 and 7,900 pounds (based on cab and trim), those numbers get increasing higher with the other engines:

• Turbo-4: 9,000 to 9,600 pounds
• Turbodiesel: 9,000 to 9,500 pounds
• 5.3-liter V8: 9,300 to 11,500 pounds
• 6.2-liter V8: 9,100 to 13,300 pounds

There are also several towing features you can add, such as hitch guidance, a multicamera trailer system, and a trailer sway controller.
If this has convinced you that the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the right truck for you, come down to Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River, NJ to see what it can out on the road.
