Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 2.7L Engine Can Tow Up to 9,200 Pounds, but Wildwood FSX Trailer May Exceed Payload Limit
Original source: Torque News

A 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Double Cab with a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine is hitched to a Forest River Wildwood FSX travel trailer. Chevrolet rates the truck's maximum towing capacity at 9,200 pounds for two-wheel drive and 9,000 pounds for four-wheel drive, but actual capacity depends on configuration, passengers, and cargo. The Wildwood FSX is a product family with floorplans ranging from 21 to 36 feet, and its loaded weight can approach the truck's payload limit, especially considering tongue weight and axle loads. The owner's question about the combination's viability requires specific data from the truck's door labels, the trailer's weight label, and a scale ticket.

Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Towed a 3,014-Pound Camper, But the 355-Pound Tongue Weight Is the Real Story

A 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD with the 4K Tow Package towed a single-axle camper weighing 3,014 pounds dry on 55-mph roads. After adding 450 pounds of cargo to the trailer and 200 pounds in the truck bed, the total combination approached the vehicle's limits. The tongue weight of 355 pounds, near the 400-pound maximum, raised concerns about using a weight-distributing hitch on the unibody Maverick. The owner opted for a sway bar kit instead.
