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 Chevy dealer for additional details.
NOTE: Trailer tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight up to 500 lbs.
NOTE: Equinox Sport models with the standard six-speed automatic transmission have the ability to be flat or "dinghy" towed. For recreational towing restrictions and availability, consult the Owner’s Manual.
