Chevrolet Silverado: Driving and Operating / Trailer Towing
General Towing Information
Only use towing equipment that has been designed for the vehicle. Contact your
dealer or trailering dealer for assistance with preparing the vehicle to tow a trailer.
Read the entire section before towing a trailer.
To tow a disabled vehicle, see Towing the Vehicle. To tow the vehicle behind
another vehicle such as a motor home, see Recreational Vehicle Towing.
Warning
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in the vehicle. Static
electricity discharge from the container can ignite the fuel vapor. You or others
could be badly burned and the vehicle could be damaged...
Warning
You can lose control when towing a trailer if the correct equipment is
not used or the vehicle is not driven properly. For example, if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are inadequate for the load, the vehicle may not stop
as expected...
