TOW GENIUS

Tow vehicle model guide

Chevrolet Tahoe towing guide by model year

Tahoe towing capacity depends on engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, cooling and trailering equipment, and how much payload remains after the family and cargo are aboard.

maximum available towing on selected properly equipped configurations

Up to 8,400 lbMaximum or component ratings are not the rating for every configuration. Verify the exact vehicle and load.

Why the number changes

  • Engine, two- or four-wheel drive, axle ratio, trim, and Max Trailering Package determine the applicable chart value.
  • Passengers, third-row use, cargo, accessories, hitch hardware, and tongue weight all consume the vehicle’s labeled payload.
  • The exact trailering label, owner’s manual, receiver limits, trailer brakes, and weight-distribution requirements must agree.
