2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Towing Capacity

841 of 3,766 live listings carry the Z6A GOOSENECK/5TH WHEEL PACKAGE, read from the window sticker or OEM code. Updated hourly.

The 2026 Silverado 2500HD is rated 18,500 lb conventional on the Work Truck, Custom, LT, High Country and ZR2 in our catalog; the LTZ's figure isn't confirmed against an OEM source yet, so it shows a dash. The Duramax trims run a 3.42 axle and the gas Work Truck and Custom a 3.73. Z6A, the gooseneck / 5th-wheel package, is rated 18,100 lb gooseneck, and NHT, the Max Trailering Package, 20,000 lb conventional and 21,180 lb gooseneck. Both codes are counted above from window stickers and OEM codes only.

Live listings with tow equipment

Counted only when the package shows on the truck's window sticker or in its OEM option codes, not in dealer text.

One catalog configuration per trim. Each trim comes in several engine, axle, cab and bed combinations with different ratings; a truck's own window sticker has its exact ones. A dash means that figure isn’t shown until it’s confirmed against an OEM source.

Factory tow packages

Verified packages with an OEM order code and what they change for towing. A rating is shown only where every verified source for that code agrees.
