All figures in pounds, from the Chevrolet 2025 Trailering Guide, page 41. Hitch: The 8,400 lb maximum is the 2WD Tahoe with the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 3.23 axle and the Max Trailering Package (GCWR 14,500 lb); trailers over 5,000 lb or 600 lb tongue weight require a weight-distributing hitch with sway control. Ratings assume a properly equipped vehicle and a trailer with brakes where required by the manufacturer. "n/a" means the manufacturer does not publish that figure in this document.

How to read these numbers

Towing capacity assumes a lightly loaded truck. Passengers, cargo and the trailer's tongue weight all count against payload, which usually runs out first.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe tow?

Up to 8,400 lb when properly equipped. The lowest-rated configuration listed (6.2L EcoTec3 V8, 420 hp, 4WD) is rated at 7,600 lb, and the highest (5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 355 hp, 2WD) at 8,400 lb.

What is the payload capacity of a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe?

Chevrolet does not publish payload in the document we used; the figure for your exact vehicle is on the tire and loading placard on the driver's door pillar. Payload includes passengers, cargo and the trailer's tongue weight, so it is usually the limit you reach first. The Chevrolet document we used does not list GVWR; yours is on the certification label in the driver's door jamb.

Does the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe need a tow package to reach its maximum rating?

The 8,400 lb maximum is the 2WD Tahoe with the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 3.23 axle and the Max Trailering Package (GCWR 14,500 lb); trailers over 5,000 lb or 600 lb tongue weight require a weight-distributing hitch with sway control. Configurations without the package carry a lower rating; see the note column in the table above.

Can a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe tow a travel trailer?

A configuration rated at 8,400 lb can handle a trailer with a loaded weight of roughly 6,700 lb while keeping a 20% safety margin, provided passengers, cargo and tongue weight stay within the payload on your door-pillar placard. Run your exact numbers in the towing calculator.
