When it comes to pickup trucks here in America, they’re consistently some of the most popular and best-selling vehicles throughout the industry. This is thanks in large part to “the big three,” of which the Chevy Silverado is a member. The Silverado has been around since just before the turn of the century, but it was built off the back of decades of experience building other trucks throughout the company’s history. Today, without a doubt the most capable vehicle on the Chevy lineup is the biggest version of that iconic truck, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500HD. We thought you might be interested in learning about the towing capacity of this vehicle, so we’ve put together some data into the table below and went on to detail other important information regarding towing in the Silverado HD.

You probably already know the difference between 2WD and 4WD – two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive – but just in case you aren’t aware of what SRW and DRW mean, they stand for single rear wheel and dual rear wheel. To get even more capabilities, some truck owners prefer their heavy-duty pickup trucks to have four rear wheels instead of the traditional two. You might have heard of these trucks referred to as duallies. Hopefully, this table helps you determine which 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500HD is the right fit for your trailering needs.
