The best place to look would be in the owner's manual. But if you do not have a manual keep reading. The towing capacity of a vehicle is dependent on a few factors. The first is the suspension system, the second is the vehicle weight, the third is the drivetrain capability (engine power, transmission strength, axle gera ratio and strength). A stiffer suspension will allow more tongue weight while stlil providing safe handling characteristics, a heavier vehicle will resist forces from the trailer. A stronger drivetrain can provide and handle more power. If any of these items are worn-out or compromised, your safe towing capacity is also effected. Do not confuse "payload" (what a truck can haul in its bed) with towing capacity. The term "half-ton" truck refers to payload. (In the old days a "half-ton" truck could hold half a ton (1000 pounds) in its bed, today's half-ton trucks can hold much more.)Although a truck with a higher payload capacity will probably have a higher towing capacity, do not think a half-ton truck can only tow 1000 pounds. Many modern half ton trucks are rated to tow between 7,500 and 10,000 pounds. I own a 1990, 1500 Chevy Suburban with a 3.73 differential and it is rated to tow approximately 9200 lbs. I probably would never go above 9000 to be safe. Remember to always tow in DRIVE. NEVER TOW IN OVERDRIVE. The Chevy Truck/Suburban manuals from 1985-1990 tell you to pull in Overdrive but that is false. I have an 89 Suburban 2500 (3/4 ton) with 4.10 gears. It is also rated to tow around 9000 punds.
what is the towing capacity for chevroledy truck 2008 v6
help
The towing capacity of a 5.3 liter Chevy truck is close to 11,500 pounds. The amount will vary slightly for each vehicle.
Get a real truck!
The towing capacity of a 1988 3500 Chevy 1 ton truck is close to 10,000 pounds. The trucks are heavy-duty trucks.
no more then what the truck weighs it self
The towing capacity for the vehicle is 6,800 pounds. The truck is a V-8 and has a horse power of 200 hp.?æ
Up to 12,000 lbs when properly equipped/options.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado The 3500 is a Heavy Duty truck by default, towing capacity should be over 16k pounds.
7,000 lbs. can be towed safely with a 1977 Chevy truck. More can be towed if a good receiver hitch is installed instead of a bumper hitch.
how much can a cheve s10 1992 pull ?
The engine doesn't have a capacity, the truck does. Depends on the truck.
