Mark Allen Chevrolet - Can the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tow my boat, camper, or work trailer in Glenpool, OK?

At Mark Allen Chevrolet in Glenpool, OK, one question keeps coming up from truck shoppers who live, work, and play around the Tulsa metro — can the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 confidently handle the mix of weekend toys and weekday work trailers common across our lakes, job sites, and neighborhoods. The short answer is yes. The 2025 Silverado 1500 is engineered for real-world versatility, with the strength, technology, and confidence you want when backing down the ramp at Keystone Lake or merging onto US-75 with a loaded utility trailer.

When properly equipped, Silverado 1500 delivers up to 13,300 pounds of max available trailering, up to 2,260 lbs. of max available payload, and up to 495 lb.-ft. of max available torque. Four powertrains help you tailor capability to your plan — the TurboMax™ engine with 430 lb.-ft. of torque for confident low-end pull, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 and 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management, and the Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel — the only diesel in its class. Add the available 10-speed automatic, the Trailering Package, and Silverado’s in-vehicle trailering tech, and you have a setup that feels as smart as it is strong.

Choosing the right trim is just as important as choosing the right engine. From WT and Custom — our work-ready favorites — to LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country, Silverado offers chassis hardware and tech to match your habits. Up to eight cameras offering up to 14 views are available on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country to help with hitching, lane changes, and tight-quarters maneuvering. For long hauls, available on High Country, Super Cruise® connected by OnStar® brings hands-free driver assistance — now with trailering capability — to compatible roads, helping keep you fresh on those I-44 and I-40 stretches.

To make the decision even simpler, here is how common Glenpool-area loads typically stack up. Always verify your specific trailer’s weight and your truck’s trailering and payload labels before you tow, and account for passengers, cargo, and accessories in your calculations.

• Bass boat on single-axle trailer: often 2,500-3,500 lbs. combined
• 19-22 ft. fiberglass runabout: often 3,500-5,000 lbs. combined
• Compact travel trailer: often 3,500-5,500 lbs. loaded
• Medium enclosed cargo trailer: often 5,000-7,500 lbs. loaded
• Equipment utility trailer with mower or ATV: often 2,000-4,000 lbs. loaded
• Tandem-axle landscape trailer with materials: often 4,000-7,000 lbs. loaded

Once you have a sense of your load, follow a simple plan to outfit your Silverado 1500 for confident towing around Glenpool and beyond.

1. Confirm your truck’s specific trailering and payload ratings on the driver’s door labels.
2. Match the hitch class and ball mount to your trailer coupler and tongue weight.
3. Set up your custom trailer profile in the integrated Trailering App, including pre-departure checklists.
4. Use the available camera views to line up the hitch and verify safety chains and electrical connections.
5. Balance cargo to maintain proper tongue weight and minimize sway.
6. Enable trailer brake gain and test lights before you roll.

Silverado’s technology removes guesswork from that routine. The available Trailering App supports customized trailer profiles, pre-departure checklists, and available trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring. Up to 14 available camera views — including Hitch View, Surround View, and Transparent Trailer View on compatible setups — help you see more of what is happening around and behind your truck. Durabed brings 12 standard tie-downs and best-in-class standard cargo volume at up to 89.1 cu. ft., and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate adds six configurations to make loading, stepping, and working easier at the ramp or job site.

Every 2025 Silverado 1500 includes Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of advanced features designed to add confidence to your drive — Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Following Distance Indicator. As always, driver attention and judgment are essential, and weather, visibility, and road conditions can affect performance, so use these systems to support safe, attentive driving.

If you want to test your specific scenario, bring your trailer specs — or even your hitch setup — to Mark Allen Chevrolet. Our team will help you select the right engine, axle, and trailering equipment, demonstrate the camera views, walk you through the Trailering App, and set you up for a no-stress test drive that mirrors your real-world towing needs in Glenpool, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, and greater Tulsa.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which 2025 Silverado 1500 configuration do I need to reach max available trailering?

Max available trailering of up to 13,300 lbs. requires a properly equipped Silverado 1500 with the right engine, axle ratio, Trailering Package, and hitch hardware. Because ratings vary by cab, bed, drivetrain, and options, we will verify your VIN-specific limits using the truck’s trailering and payload labels and build sheet before we recommend a configuration.

Is Super Cruise® with trailering available on Silverado 1500?

Yes. Available on High Country, Super Cruise® connected by OnStar offers hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads — even while towing. It can help manage speed and steering to reduce fatigue on long drives. We will review coverage maps, setup requirements, and best practices with you during your demonstration.

How should I set tongue weight for stable towing?

As a general guideline for conventional trailers, target approximately 10-15 percent of the trailer’s total loaded weight on the hitch and confirm your Silverado’s payload capacity is not exceeded. Use the Trailering App checklists, distribute cargo evenly, and consider a weight-distributing hitch when needed. Our team can help you select hardware and dial in trailer brake gain for smooth, confident stops.
