Towing and Hauling Power

The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers an impressive max towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds and a payload capacity of up to 2,280 pounds making it a remarkably capable light-duty truck that supplies plenty of the extra muscle you need to haul big toys or tow heavy trailers around Calabasas.

Multi-Flex Tailgate

One of the things that set the Chevy Silverado 1500 apart from rivals like the F-150 is the Multi-Flex Tailgate. This handy feature is available on all eight of the Silverado 1500 trim levels, and it supplies six functions to make getting cargo into and out of the truck bed easier than ever. The Multi-Flex Tailgate can be used to:

  • Secure extra-long items and keep them from sliding out of the truck bed
  • Provide easy access to the truck bed so that you can reach in with little effort
  • Create a step capable of holding up to 375 pounds to make it easier to access the truck bed
  • Create a workspace that supplies a spot for a laptop or other work materials so that you have somewhere to set your things while you work
  • And more!
