Get the Right Build for the Right Pull

However, the weight you can pull around is still affected by a few more factors.

The stronger the cab and truck bed configuration, the more easily you’ll be able to tow around your cargo. Pick between the four options of:

Regular cab with a long bed
Double cab with standard bed
Crew cab with short bed
Crew cab with standard bed

On top of that, your cab and bed will rest upon the strength of your four wheels. Choose between 17-, 18-, 20-, and 22-inch wheels to find the support your need. Remember, the bigger the wheel, the more stable the whole truck will stand.

Trailering Packages

Last but not least, there are features to take into consideration of your towing capacity, like the trailering packages. The first optional trailering package gives you features like a trailer hitch, a 2-inch receiver hitch, a 7-wire electrical harness with a 7-pin sealed connector, and more to make hooking up a trailer a breeze.

With the maximum trailering package, though, you can also enjoy a trailer brake controller to simplify red lights as well as heavier duty rear springs and increased Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating to haul your load.

It’s time to hitch up some serious cargo, because when you configure your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD with the:

6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine;
Double cab and standard bed;
20-inch wheels; and
