Chevrolet Tahoe Towing by Year

The Chevrolet Tahoe’s listed towing capacity ranges from 4,500 to 8,700 pounds across the catalog years shown. Treat this as a range across model years and configurations, not as one rating that applies to every Tahoe. The figures indicate how much towing capacity varies; they do not establish the rating for a particular vehicle.

The catalog covers model years from 1999 through 2023. Capacity can change by year and engine, so use the range as a general guide rather than assuming that every year or trim has the same rating. The listed facts do not specify individual ratings by year, engine, or trim, or identify equipment that may affect a particular vehicle’s rating.

For the exact towing capacity of a Tahoe, confirm the figure on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual. Check the information for your specific vehicle rather than relying on the overall catalog range.

Which catalog years and configurations store the highest towing ratings. These are stored min/max values, not a certified model maximum.

The largest stored change occurs between 2017 and 2018, when towing decreases.
