How Much Can the Chevy Silverado 3500 Tow?

The black Silverado 3500 is towing a boat.

Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re looking for muscle, then you can’t afford to overlook the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD. Armed with either a gas or a diesel engine, this rough-and-ready pickup can tackle any challenge head-on—and that means it’s perfect for the North Charleston region’s hardest-working drivers.

Most shoppers will want to answer at least one question before they commit: how much can the Chevy Silverado 3500 tow? With the right equipment, this truck can handle cargo weighing up to 36,000 pounds. That’s more than enough strength for the vast majority of personal and commercial towing jobs.
