Required equipment and applicability
- Published comparison rating for this table row. Verify the actual truck's Trailering Information Label and equipment before using the number.
- 2026 Trailering Guide p. 7: the comparison trailer rating uses base vehicle weight plus a 150 lb driver and a 150 lb front passenger. Additional passengers, cargo, options, and accessories reduce available trailering capacity. Do not apply the allowance again to a value already adjusted for the trip.
- Weight distribution is required above 7,000 lb loaded trailer weight; at or below 7,000 lb this table does not require it. 2026 Silverado/Sierra 1500 Trailer Towing Supplement, p. 11 (PDF page 12).
- Use the actual receiver, ball mount, ball, and coupler ratings for the selected WC or WD mode. The guide does not establish their individual capacities.
- Tongue load remains subject to vehicle GVWR, rear GAWR, and the maximum trailer tongue load on the vehicle's Trailering Information Label. Weight distribution does not raise these ratings.
Exclusions
- Fifth-wheel and gooseneck ratings
