You can also use this feature to monitor your trailer while driving.

2. Trailering Package

The Silverado 3500’s Trailering Package includes everything you need for the towing process. This package comes with a trailer hitch, trailering hitch platform, a 7-wire electrical harness, and a 7-pin sealed connector for connecting your trailer’s lights and brakes to the truck.

The Chevy Silverado 3500 comes with a 6.6L V8 gas engine that delivers 401 horsepower 5200 rpm and 464 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration. There’s also an available 6.6L V8 Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine for an increased towing capacity of up to 36,000 pounds.

4. Durabed

The roll-formed high-strength steel Durabed is built to withstand any kind of cargo, from abrasive materials to heavy loads. With twelve standard cargo tie-downs rated at 500 pounds per corner, you can rest assured that your truck is ready to tackle the biggest hauls.
