Three 2020 Chevy Silverado Models: Choose Your Favorite

Chevy Silverado fans can choose from three different models:

Silverado 1500
Silverado 2500
Silverado 3500
Each model offers different trim levels, cab configurations and bed lengths so consumers can find the exact features they need to get the job done.

Determining Towing Capacity: What You Should Know
Each 2020 Chevy Silverado has a maximum trailer weight rating. For the Silverado 1500, that number is 13,400 pounds while the Silverado 2500 has a maximum trailer weight of 18,510 pounds. Not surprisingly, the Silverado 3500 has the highest weight rating of 35,500.

The maximum trailer weight rating is only one consideration to think about when choosing the right 2020 Chevy Silverado. Other factors also play into the towing capacity determination, including the following:

Axle Ratio

The axle ratio demonstrates the relationship between the revolutions the rear axle makes each minute and the revolutions the driveshaft makes each minute. The ratio that is the most efficient and that provides the power needed depends on the weight that is usually hauled as well as the frequency.

Gross Trailer Weight

This number is the overall weight of the trailer or camper once it is fully loaded.

Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)

As the name suggests, the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) is the combined weight of both the 2020 Chevy Silverado and the fully loaded trailer or camper.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the actual weight of the 2020 Chevy Silverado, along with its occupants, fuel and contents.

Trailer Tongue Weight

The trailer tongue weight represents the amount of weight that can be safely put on the trailer tongue to keep the trailer or camper balanced for safe and well-controlled driving.

Curb Weight

The curb weight is what the 2020 Chevy Silverado weighs with only its fuel, oil, coolant and standard equipment. No payload or occupant weight is used in this figure. Curb weight is also called vehicle weight.
