2023 Chevy Suburban Towing Capacity

You want your family to be ready for anything. That’s why you’ve chosen to upgrade with the 2023 Chevy Suburban, a spacious and lushly appointed full-size SUV with tons of seating and cargo space. You can fit up to nine passengers inside the cabin while retaining plenty of room for gear and groceries—and if you need even more capability, you can always hook up a trailer.

If you’d like to learn more about the performance of the Suburban before you get behind the wheel, then read on! We’ve covered everything you need to know.

Chevy Suburban Towing Capacity by Engine

The maximum Chevy Suburban towing capacity varies from model to model, and more to the point, from engine to engine. The Suburban can be optioned with a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8, or a 3.0L turbodiesel. 

Although each engine offers a different max towing capacity, none of your options will disappoint:

• 2023 Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L V8 Towing Capacity: Up to 8,300 pounds
• 2023 Chevrolet Suburban 6.2L V8 Towing Capacity: Up to 8,200 pounds
• 2023 Chevrolet Suburban 3.0L Turbo-Diesel Towing Capacity: Up to 8,100 pounds

Each engine has more than enough strength to get a heavy trailer up to speed on the highways near North Charleston and Mount Pleasant. Plus, you’ll always have plenty of passing power for your daily drives and commutes.

• 5.3L V8: 355 horsepower
• 6.2L V8: 420 horsepower
• 3.0L Turbo-Diesel: 277 horsepower

What Will You Get with the Max Trailering Package?

If you plan on doing a lot of heavy lifting, there’s no reason to overlook the Max Trailering Package. Although it isn’t necessary for towing, you can’t reach the maximum Chevy Suburban towing capacity without it.

The package improves your capacity and adds the following useful features:

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
• Trailer brake controller
• Advanced Trailering System
• Enhanced cooling radiator
• 2-speed transfer case (LT 4WD models)
• Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert (Premier, High Country models)

Getting More Done with the Suburban Cargo Capacity

As we noted from the outset, the Chevy Suburban offers tons of space for cargo. That’s true even if you’re working with a cabinful of passengers. When the situation demands it, you can fold the rear seats flat to access an open area with a volume of nearly 150 cubic feet.

• Cargo Volume Behind 1st Row: 144.7 cubic feet
• Cargo Volume Behind 2nd Row: 93.8 cubic feet
