The incredible strength of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 makes it more than equipped to handle some massive loads. You still need to use caution when towing and hauling, though. Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet is sharing our top tips to tow and haul safely.
Know Your (Truck’s) Limits
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 has an incredible towing capacity – 36,000 pounds to be exact. However, you need the right engine and equipment to tow that much. Before you attempt to tow anything, carefully review your owner’s manual to see the specifics for your truck and don’t exceed them.
Utilize the Trailering Technology
With its innovative technology, the heavy-duty truck makes every towing job easier. Don’t forget to utilize all those extra resources. Its many smart trailering features include an in-vehicle Trailering app with step-by-step pre-departure checklists, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert®, eight available cameras with up to 14 views, and more.
Secure Everything
The Chevy truck offers more cargo volume than any other competitor, with 83.5 cubic feet available. Before you haul, always ensure everything is secure. Luckily, the heavy-duty truck makes it easy with options such as 12 tie-downs and the Multi-Flex Tailgate™. It’s also available with integrated BedSteps™ and a CornerStep™ rear bumper, so you can easily access your truck bed.
Drive Carefully
Whether you are towing or hauling, it can certainly impact your driving. When you’re towing, the extra weight can increase your stopping time, so keep a safe following distance. Hauling can obstruct your vision, so utilize your mirrors and take turns with caution.
