What is the towing capacity of a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I just got a new truck for work, but I don’t know how much weight it can handle. How much can a 2008 Silverado 1500 tow?

Excellent choice of work vehicle! Your Silverado 1500 ought to be able to handle any load you throw at it because it has a towing capacity of 4,400 to 7,500 lbs. If you want a more precise weight rating than that, you’ll have to:
- Check your truck’s VIN sticker for the curb weight.
- Subtract that number from the truck’s GCWR, which is normally found on the door sticker.
Following these steps will give you a clear idea of how much weight your Silverado 1500 can handle. However, you’ll also need to pick up the right kind of
commercial truck insurance
before you can take your work vehicle on the road. To get the insurance you need without overpaying, let Jerry
