When it comes to towing, the available 3.0L Duramax turbodiesel can tow up to 13,000 pounds thanks to its 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. With trims like the ZR2, you can get up to 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque to get even more towing power. The new Silverado 1500 is capable of a max of 13,300 pounds of towing with the proper equipment.

It can also take advantage of safety features such as Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, and Auto Grade Braking to help make towing easier.
Camera technology available on the Silverado 1500 can help you when connecting a trailer with four different views, including a hitch view, HD Surround View, Rear Top-Down View, and Bed View to help you see the hitch or fifth wheel.
There are also six different driving views and four different parking views available to reduce blind spots and maneuvering when driving around Charlotte, MI. These different camera angles come from eight cameras that can be equipped on the Silverado 1500.
