What is the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban’s towing capacity?

I want a new car that will fit my entire family but can also help with some work on my property. How’s the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban’s towing capacity?

Sounds like you’ve got a lot of fun plans in the works if you’re looking for a car like that! Depending on the engine and trim configuration, the towing capacity of a 2021
Chevrolet Suburban
ranges from 7,700 to 8,300 pounds.
Look for the 5.3L V8 engine with two-wheel drive and the max trailering package to maximize your Chevy’s towing power, but take note of these other weight limits as well:
  • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
    (i.e. the safe limit for the combined weight of your vehicle and cargo): 7,500 to 7,700 lbs
  • Payload capacity (i.e. the weight limit on cargo): 1,684 to 1,884
While towing capacity tells you how much you can pull, your payload capacity is the limit to look to when
pulling a trailer
that could add weight to your Suburban. Make sure that the weight of your cargo combined with the tongue weight of your trailer (10% to 15% of the total trailer weight) does not exceed the payload capacity to maintain the integrity of your SUV.
