Route 1 Chevrolet - How Much Can the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Tow in Momence, IL?

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is built to work hard and drive confidently on the roads around Kankakee River, the farms outside town, and the job sites across Bourbonnais and Bradley. At Route 1 Chevrolet in Momence, IL, we speak with shoppers every day who want a clear answer about capability, especially when their plans include a boat, camper, or equipment trailer. Here is a straightforward, in-market look at how the Silverado 1500 tows, what affects your exact rating, and which features help you tow with confidence.

When properly equipped, the 2025 Silverado 1500 offers up to 13,300 lbs. of max available trailering and up to 2,260 lbs. of max available payload. That strength comes from a refined engine lineup—TurboMax™, 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel—delivering up to 495 lb.-ft. max available torque. Whether you choose WT, Custom, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, ZR2, or High Country, we can help you configure the right engine, cab, bed, and axle ratio to support your specific trailer in real-world Illinois conditions.

Because towing isn’t one-size-fits-all, your exact rating depends on how your truck is built. Use these quick checks to narrow down the right configuration for your needs before you visit our showroom on N Dixie Hwy.

• Configuration: Engine choice, cab, bed length, axle ratio, and 4x2 vs 4x4 all influence your tow rating.
• Equipment: Packages like the Trailering Package and features such as an integrated hitch and wiring support capability and ease of use.
• Payload: Tongue weight counts against payload, so matching trailer tongue weight to your truck’s payload is crucial.
• Tires and suspension: Off-road hardware and larger tires can change how you set up the truck for towing and payload balance.
• Trailer type: A boat, enclosed cargo, or camper may require different brake setups or weight distribution to stay within ratings.

From hitching to highway, Silverado backs you with proven technology. Up to 14 available camera views help with hitch alignment, maneuvering, and confidence on the move, and the built-in Trailering App lets you create trailer profiles, run pre-departure checklists, and monitor trailer tire pressure and temperature. On High Country, available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology works even while towing on compatible roads—an industry-first combination that underscores the Silverado’s advanced approach to long-haul control.

Off the pavement, Silverado capability continues. LT Trail Boss and Custom Trail Boss bring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and Z71 Off-Road Package with Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case, automatic locking rear differential, and skid plates. ZR2 adds Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, front and rear E-lockers, large underbody aluminum skid plates, and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory® MT tires—excellent for reaching remote campsites before you unload your gear.

In the bed, Durabed is designed around real loading and tie-down scenarios with 12 standard tie-downs, best-in-class 89.1 cu. ft. of standard cargo volume, and an available 120-volt outlet. The available Multi-Flex Tailgate adds even more utility with six functions—from a primary gate load stop to a full-width step rated up to 375 lbs. and an inner gate work surface—so you can secure longer lumber, stage tools, or step in safely to set a weight-distribution hitch.

To make sure your truck matches your trailer the right way, follow a simple game plan. Our team will verify your specific VIN-based ratings at Route 1 Chevrolet and walk through each step with you.

1. Identify your trailer: Know loaded weight, tongue weight, and whether it has its own brakes.
2. Match the powertrain: Choose TurboMax™, EcoTec3 V8, or Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel based on terrain, frequency, and payload needs.
3. Confirm equipment: Ensure the proper hitch, wiring, and trailering features are included for your setup.
4. Validate ratings: Compare your truck’s door-jamb labels and owner’s manual to your actual loaded conditions.

Inside, Silverado makes towing days easier with available Google built-in, a 13.4-inch diagonal color touch-screen, and a 12.3-inch diagonal reconfigurable Driver Information Center. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep directions and playlists at your fingertips while the truck handles the heavy lifting. Standard Chevy Safety Assist adds Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Following Distance Indicator for everyday confidence around Momence and beyond.

Whether your Silverado is Red Hot, Summit White, Riptide Blue Metallic, Slate Gray Metallic, Cypress Gray, or Black, our team can help you dial in the exact combination for work, travel, and weekend toys. Bring your trailer specs when you visit—our advisors will help you compare configurations and verify the details that matter most to your tow plan.
