Hello. I just bought this truck (Silverado 1500 LT 2FL Turbomax, 4x4) about 4 weeks ago, this car is beautiful, good, strong engine. I want to buy an RV but I don't know if this vehicle can tow an RV or not? If so, what is the maximum weight of an RV? My Truck: Brand new 2024 Gvwr=7,000lbs. Gcwr=14,500lbs. Rgawr=38,000lbs. Maxpayload=1,966lbs. Curbweight=5,034lbs. Conventional TWR=9,000lbs. Max tongue weight=900lbs. Gooseneck TWR=8,900lbs. Max tongue weight=1,335lbs. Gawr FRT=3,800lbs. Gawr RR=3,800lbs. Tire size: FRT=RR=265/65R18 T. (rim 18x8.5J) SPA=265/70R17 S (rim 17x8J). Font=Rear=Spare=240 kPa, 35Psi. So, Can my truck (GVWR=7,000lbs) tow an RV/Trailer with a maximum load of 9,000lbs? Thanks
Hi There! According to Car and Driver, the max towing capacity of your truck is 9,000 pounds. So, you're correct in assuming that's the maximum load you can tow. I just want to caution that, when looking at RVs, the trailer's dry weight + cargo capacity (all gear loaded in plus the weight of any holding tank contents) should be less than your truck's maximum towing capacity. Generally, the closer you get to that capacity, the more wear and tear on your truck. As a rule of thumb, many RVers try to keep their trailer's loaded weight below about 75-80% of their truck's maximum towing capacity. Hope that helps, but let us know if you have any follow up questions! - Tucker Ballister
