The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD offers towing capability ranging from 18,500 lbs on properly equipped 2500 HD models to a maximum of 36,000 lbs with the right 3500 HD gooseneck configuration. At Goodwin Chevrolet Oxford, we help Maine drivers choose the Chevy Silverado HD setup that fits their work demands — whether for construction, agriculture, or commercial use.
Towing Capacity Built for Maine Work
The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with a conventional hitch can tow up to 18,500 lbs, making it well-suited for equipment trailers, utility loads, and jobsite hauling throughout Oxford County. Moving up to the 3500 HD increases capability even further, with single rear wheel models offering up to 20,000 lbs of conventional towing and dual rear wheel configurations reaching as much as 22,500 lbs. For drivers who rely on gooseneck or fifth-wheel trailers, properly equipped 3500 HD models deliver a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 lbs — ideal for large equipment, commercial trailers, and demanding work applications across Maine.
Duramax® Diesel Power You Can Rely On
The available 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 power delivers 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, providing strong, consistent pulling power under load. Paired with the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, the Chevy Silverado HD manages power smoothly when accelerating, climbing grades, or maneuvering through work zones. This drivetrain is designed to support heavy towing while maintaining confidence and control in real-world working conditions.
Technology Designed for Confident Towing
The 2026 Chevy Silverado HD offers advanced trailering technology to help make towing safer and more manageable. Available Transparent Trailer View uses multiple camera angles to create a virtual view behind the trailer, which is especially helpful when navigating tight job sites or narrow roads. An integrated trailer brake controller helps coordinate braking between truck and trailer, while trailer sway control can detect instability and apply selective braking to help maintain control when conditions change.
