tr ailering b asic s

no t e: Towing a trailer involves all major vehicle systems of your Chevy Truck. Easy and safe trailering requires a properly equipped vehicle, additional trailering equipment and an appropriate trailer. It also requires

loading both the vehicle and trailer properly, using safe driving techniques, meeting regional legal requirements, and following break-in and maintenance schedules. The vehicle owner is responsible for obtaining the

proper equipment (hitch ball, hitch type of the proper size, type and capacity) required to safely tow both the trailer and the load that will be towed. For more information, consult your Owner’s Manual or speak to a

trailering expert at your Chevrolet dealership. These charts will assist in determining how to best equip your Chevy Truck for trailering. To help you understand the charts, consider these trailering factors:

rg aw r a n d g v wr : Addition of trailer hitch weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings can be found on the

certiﬁcation label located on the driver door or doorframe.

gc w r : The Gross Combination Weight Rating is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer.

ma X imum tr a iler r at ing: This rating is determined by subtracting the tow vehicle’s weight (curb weight) from the GCWR. When a base vehicle (curb) weight is used, additional passenger, equipment and cargo

weight reduces this rating.

no t e: The safety steps described here are by no means the only precautions to be taken when trailering. See the Owner’s Manual for your Chevy Silverado for additional guidelines and trailering tips.

tr ail er in g c au t io n: If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive properly, you can lose control of your vehicle when you pull a trailer. If the trailer is too heavy, your vehicle brakes may be less effective.

You and your passengers could be seriously injured. Pull a trailer only after you have taken the following steps.

tr ail er b r a k e s : If your trailer weighs more than 2,000 lbs. loaded, then it must have its own adequate brakes. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brake controller so that it is installed,

adjusted and maintained properly. • Don’t tap into your vehicle’s brake system if the trailer’s brake system will use more than 0.02 cu. in. of ﬂuid from your vehicle’s master cylinder. If it does, neither braking system

will work well. • The trailer brake parts must be able to take 3,000 psi of pressure. If everything checks out thus far, have a qualiﬁed individual make the brake ﬂuid tap at the master cylinder port that sends ﬂuid to

the rear brakes. Use only double-walled steel brake tubing.

hi t c h e s : It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. • If you’ll be towing a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh more than 5,000 lbs.,

be sure to use a frame-mounted, weight-distributing hitch and sway

control of the proper size. • If you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle to install a trailer hitch, be sure to seal the holes if you ever remove the hitch. If they’re not sealed, dirt, water and deadly carbon

monoxide from the exhaust can get into your vehicle.

fi f t h -w he el t r a il er in g: Silverado pickups can be equipped with a ﬁfth-wheel or gooseneck trailer hitch • Follow the manufacturer’s directions for installation, but note that the hitch must be

attached to the truck frame. Do not use the pickup bed for additional support. For proper kingpin tongue load distribution and control of the trailer, the hitch must be mounted so the kingpin load is placed

ahead of the rear axle centerline. • Fifth-wheel trailer kingpin loads are higher than conventional trailer tongue loads, so pay careful attention to the truck’s payload capacity and rear axle weight ratings. Your

Chevy dealer can help you calculate the maximum allowable payload and GVWR required for your ﬁfth-wheel trailering application. The weight of any additional equipment and all passengers other than the

driver must be subtracted from the payload weight to determine the maximum kingpin load available.
