How Much Can the Chevy Silverado 5500 HD Tow?

Determine the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and subtract the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to find the 2024 Chevy Silverado 5500 HD towing capacity.

What is the Chevy Silverado 5500 HD Towing Capacity?

The Chevy Silverado 5500 HD towing capacity is anywhere from 18,000 to 20,000 pounds. Remember, this is based on the GVWR. If you have a lighter GVWR, you could tow more weight. If you have a heavier GVWR, you would tow less weight.

See what the 2024 Chevy Silverado 5500 HD towing capacity is using these simple formulas based on the minimum and maximum GVWR ratings:

  • Maximum GVWR: 19,500 pounds
  • Minimum GVWR: 17,500 pounds
  • GCWR: 37,500 pounds
  1. 37,500 – 19,500 = 18,000 pounds
  2. 37,500 – 17,500 = 20,000 pounds

What do you plan on accomplishing with the Chevy Silverado 5500 HD towing? Make sure to keep the towing weight between 18,000 and 20,000 pounds for the best results. The key is to determine how much weight you’ll put on the rear axle based on the wheelbase and cargo you want to haul.
