2024 Chevrolet Silverado Towing Capacity

The towing capacity you’ll get with your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado can vary, depending on your cab configuration. Here are more details about this vehicle’s towing capacity by cab type.

Regular Cab

You’ll get two engine options when you choose the regular cab configuration. But whether you opt for the 6.6-liter V-8 L8T or the turbodiesel 6.6-liter V-8 L5P engine, you get 14,500 pounds of towing capacity when you pair the cab with a long bed configuration. This capacity remains the same with either a two- or four-wheel drive.

Double Cab

The double cab configuration with a standard bed offers the same 14,500-pound towing capacity as the regular cab, whether you have a two- or four-wheel drive. But matching the double cab configuration with the long bed will increase your payload to 16,000 pounds with the 6.6-liter V-8 L8T engine and 17,900 pounds with the turbo-diesel 6.6-liter V-8 L5P. And if your Silverado has a turbo-diesel engine, four-wheel drive, and a long bed, you’ll get a whopping 17,600 pounds of towing capacity.

Crew Cab

A crew cab offers the most variety in towing capacity, as you can make many customizations to increase your payload. For instance, while a 2024 Silverado with a crew cab and standard bed tows up to 16,000 pounds with the 6.6-liter V-8 L8T, this jumps to 18,500 pounds with the turbo-diesel 6.6-liter V-8 L5P engine. You can also achieve an even higher towing capacity by adding the NHT towing package, which will bump up your payload for this configuration to an astounding 20,000 pounds with the turbo-diesel engine.

Seating

The number of people you can fit in your 2024 Silverado also varies depending on your cab configuration. For example, the regular cab typically seats three, using a vinyl bench in the single front row. In contrast, the double or crew cab fits five or six if you add a bench accommodating three more in the second row or captain’s chairs that can seat two.

Price

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado has a starting MSRP of $36,800. Remember that the precise cost will vary depending on your trim level and add-ons.

Trim Levels

The cab and bed configurations you want for your 2024 Silverado determine the trims you can choose. For instance, you can only select the WT trim if you want a regular cab or standard bed configuration. But if you upgrade to a double cab with a standard bed, your choices expand to the WT, Custom, LT, and RST trims. Luckily, they all provide great perks, including rubberized vinyl floor coverings on the WT, an infotainment system in the Custom and higher trims, a larger diagonal touch screen on the LT, and bright silver-painted aluminum wheels on the RST.

Moreover, a crew cab gets you a more extensive choice of trims. Along with all the options we just mentioned, the list will include the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country, and ZR2 trims. These models add even more luxury to your ride with a powerful 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine, front bucket seats, and an Electronic Precision Shift.

Performance

The standard engine on the 2024 Silverado is the 6.6-liter V-8, producing 401 hp and 463 lb-ft of torque. Do you want even more power? If so, upgrade to the 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V-8 engine, issuing 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. While the Silverado’s standard transmission is an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, you can add integrated power take-off.

Safety Features

The 2024 Silverado provides plenty of standard safety tech on all trims. These include a suite of Chevy Safety Assist features such as automatic emergency braking, following distance indicators, and forward collision alerts. With an upgrade, you can add front and rear parking assist and HD surround vision to increase automation and visibility.

Exterior and Interior Design

The Silverado’s base model includes 17-inch silver-painted steel wheels, black door handles and bumper, and a standard tailgate. Stepping inside, you get a four-way manual driver and front passenger seats on a 20/20/20 split bench with under-seat storage. If you upgrade to a crew or double cab, you can get a whole extra seat row for two or three more passengers.

Colors

You’ll get eight striking color options for your Silverado’s exterior. Here are the colors you can choose from:

  • Dark Ash Metallic.
  • Red Hot.
  • Summit White.
  • Black.
  • Glacier Blue Metallic.
  • Slate Gray Metallic.
  • Sterling Gray Metallic.
  • Lakeshore Blue Metallic.

Technology

There’s no shortage of technology on the 2024 Silverado. The base trim comes with a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with a 7-inch diagonal color touch screen, which you can make larger by choosing a higher trim. You’ll also get a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth capabilities, and an HD rear-vision camera.
