Protected by StackPath Work Truck 1WT 4x2 Regular Cab 6.6 ft. box 119 in. WBMaximum Towing Capacity - 6400 lbThe maximum weight that Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is allowed to tow. The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3280 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. With increasing altitude the engine power and therefore the car's climbing ability are impaired because of the reduced air density, so the maximum trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly. The weight of the car and trailer must be reduced by 10% for every further 3280 ft (1,000 m) (or part thereof). Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - 6500 lbThis is the maximum amount of weight Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is rated to carry (engine, chassis, fluids, passengers, cargo, load - everything). It is often determined by the manufacturer and is indicated in the owner's manual or on the inside of the drive's door panel. Curb Weight - 4387 lbThis is how much Chevrolet Silverado 1500 weighs sitting on the curb with no driver, passengers, no cargo and no load with all standard options. Payload Capacity - 2113 lbPayload is considered all the extra stuff you put inside your vehicle, whether it be passengers or a pile of rocks, that weight is all considered payload. You can increase it by:
Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - 3200 lbIt is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a front axle of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - 3800 lbIt is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a rear axle of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Without the max towing package, the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 can tow up to 5,800 – 10,200 lbs and up to 12,000 lbs with the Max Trailering Package. Any trailer over 2,000 lbs requires its own braking system and any load over 7,000 lbs requires a weight-distributing hitch. If you are looking for the towing capacity of your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500, look no further, this article will give you the towing capacity for each model. Though I tried to make this information as accurate as possible, you should always check your manual or contact your local dealer to determine the appropriate towing capacity of your vehicle and necessary equipment.

Before you read on to find your specific towing capacity by engine, you should know that this information is used for comparison purposes. You will find the appropriate towing capacity by calculating it yourself or by looking at your individual trailering sticker. The max towing capacity without the max trailering package is 5,800 – 10,200 lbs.

If you are new to payload capacity, read: What is GVWR? to get a better understanding. Similarly, even if you know your towing capacity and don’t exceed it, you need to make sure you are not exceeding the payload capacity at the same time. I explain this in more detail in How towing capacity is calculated? Payload capacity refers to the amount of weight that can be safely carried in a truck (including cargo and passengers). Curb weight is the amount of weight that the truck weighs without anything in it and is used to calculate towing and payload capacity. Without any package, the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 payload capacity is 1,577 – 2,108 lbs. The curb weight of a pickup truck is based on the cab type, bed size, drive train, and engine.

For fifth-wheel/ gooseneck trailering, a minimum loaded trailer weight of 15% to 25% is used. How can you make sure you don’t exceed this value? You can make sure of this by weighing the tongue weight of your trailer. Not sure how? Check out What is trailer tongue weight? & How to Measure It CONCLUSIONThough this guide provides good guidance on how much you can tow with your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500, you should always calculate your own towing capacity.
