1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your Chevrolet dealer for additional details. NOTE: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight up to 500 lbs. NOTE: For recreational towing restrictions and availability, consult the Owner’s Manual.
