Official-source quick answer

Chevrolet's 2024 chart lists 13,300 lb maximum trailering for the 3.0L Duramax (crew cab short bed 2WD, Max Trailering Package and 20-inch wheels) and 13,100 lb for the 6.2L V8 (crew cab 4x4, RST with Max Trailering Package and 20-inch wheels). The highest conventional towing row extracted here is 13,300 lb. That is not a universal rating; it depends on the exact engine, axle ratio, cab, bed, drivetrain, tow equipment, payload, and hitch setup.

Use the trailering information label, tire and loading label, certification label, owner manual, and hitch label for the exact truck. Official Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trailering chart. The chart states max ratings are for comparison and that passengers, cargo, options, accessories, and owner-manual limits can reduce usable trailer weight.
