The Chevrolet Silverado will be able to tow but if you are looking for a real towing truck, the Chevrolet Silverado might not be the one for you.
While it can do it, it might not be the best option around. That is because the Chevrolet Silverado engine will be fitted with a six-speed auto transmission. The gear ratio of the transmission is just too wide making the Silverado a bad choice when it comes to towing.
If towing is not your main priority, the Chevrolet Silverado is perfect but if towing is one of the main reason why you are getting a truck, you might want to consider getting some other models, for example, the Ford F-150.
The Chevrolet Silverado will be fitted with a 4.3 liter V6 engine that will be pushing out about 285hp and 305lb ft of torque and will return about 18mpg in the city and 24mpg on the highway. The trunk will also come fitted with safety features like stability control, traction control and more.
