The highest documented maximum in this reviewed catalog is 12,500 lb, shared by properly equipped 2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV configurations. Check the exact trim and equipment in the rows below. This is not a complete market ranking, a universal buying verdict or a measure of towing range.
Start with the fully loaded trailer weight. This comparison shows the highest sourced towing rating in our reviewed catalog for each model’s latest year with verified towing data. Figures can require specific equipment. A missing rating means our catalog has not verified it, not that the truck cannot tow.

Passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight all matter to the tow vehicle’s load. Check the actual vehicle’s labels, owner’s manual, hitch limits and required towing package. Do not combine a model’s maximum towing and maximum payload as though both apply to the truck you are buying.
A towing-capacity rating describes a weight limit, not the distance possible with a trailer. There is no single range-loss percentage that fits every truck, trailer and route. Use our estimator for scenarios, then plan charging access, arrival reserve and whether you can charge with the trailer attached.
