The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado’s Specs Allow You to Tow and Go

Need a rugged work truck for towing light loads, hauling massive cargo, and everything in between? The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado might be just what you’re looking for, providing you with specs that include three powerful engine options.

Base Engine for Lighter Work

Standard under the hood of every 2015 Chevrolet Silverado except for the topmost LTZ trim is a 4.3L V6 engine that produces an impressive 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power for most driving conditions, simple hauling tasks, and light tows. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and your choice of standard rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive for towing and hauling over rougher terrain. The Silverado’s maximum towing capacity ranges from 5000 to 7600 pounds when properly equipped, depending on the body style.

Upgraded Powertrain with Power-Saving Capacity

If the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado’s V6 doesn’t provide the power you desire, opt for the 5.3L V8, which is standard on the LTZ trim level and available at all other levels. This engine produces a 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque when equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, and you again can choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. With this engine, maximum tow capacity varies from 6300 pounds to 11,500 pounds. What’s more, the cylinder deactivation system lets the engine switch between four-cylinder and V8 modes, saving power when you don’t need it and enhancing fuel economy.

Premium Engine for Absolute Power

When you purchase the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ trim or the High Country level (featuring cargo box tie-downs, parking sensors in the front and rear, and a spray-on bed liner), you can install the most powerful engine in the lineup—a 6.2L V8 that generates a whopping 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain’s eight-speed automatic transmission tightens gear ratios and makes for smooth shifting. You can choose from rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and depending on the body style, this engine helps you tow anywhere from 9100 to 12,000 pounds.
