Select Silverado models and Suburban and Tahoe, above a 1,500-lb. trailer weight on Express Vans, and above a all Suburban and Tahoe models feature a 7-pin wiring harness to streamline hookup 1,000-lb. trailer weight on all other models. (Brake requirements vary by state; of trailer lighting and brakes. consult state laws for actual requirements.) The most common trailer braking systems are surge brakes (found primarily on boat trailers) and electric brakes (often used on travel trailers, horse trailers and car haulers). Surge brakes are a self-contained hydraulic brake system on the trailer, activated during deceleration as the trailer coupler pushes on the hitch ball. An electric trailer brake system uses a brake control unit mounted inside the trailering vehicle; it operates by sensing the vehicle brakes and then applying the trailer brakes.

Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings and Gross Combination Weight Ratings Engineers How to Keep Your Load Within the Capabilities of Your Vehicle It is important that perform extensive testing of acceleration, handling, braking, and thermal and the combination of the tow vehicle and trailer does not exceed any of its weight structural performance to determine the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) ratings — GCWR, GVWR, RGAWR or trailer weight rating. The only way to be sure to and the maximum trailer weight rating for your vehicle. The GCWR is the total not exceed any of these ratings is to weigh the tow vehicle and trailer combination, allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any fully loaded for the trip, getting individual weights for each of these items. You can passengers, cargo, equipment and conversions. You should not exceed the GCWR then subtract the weight of your vehicle from the GCWR. The difference between of your vehicle when you tow a trailer. the two is the capacity you have available for your cargo, passengers, trailer, load and any other equipment you might use to set up your trailer. Put another way, Chevrolet also calculates and publishes a maximum trailer weight rating for most your GCWR should always be greater than or equal to the weight of your vehicle, models or series of Chevrolet vehicles for comparison purposes. The maximum passengers, cargo, trailer (with equipment) and load. trailer weight rating is not specific to an individual vehicle and is most useful for comparing product lines to one another to help you select a product that will meet The tongue weight for your trailer is the downward force of the coupler of the trailer your needs. When you buy a vehicle, you should ensure that the total load (including on the vehicle hitch. You can calculate the tongue weight by placing the tongue of the passengers, cargo and equipment) you intend to pull with it will be less than the trailer on an appropriate scale. For conventional trailering, the tongue weight should maximum trailer weight rating of the vehicle. be 10% to 15% of the loaded trailer weight. For gooseneck/fifth-wheel trailering, the tongue weight should be 15% to 25% of the loaded trailer weight. Because the maximum trailer weight rating is calculated for a line of vehicles, rather than an individual load situation, some standardized assumptions are made when The GVWR is the maximum amount the vehicle itself should weigh, including the calculating the maximum trailer weight rating: that the tow vehicle has a driver, a as-equipped weight of the vehicle plus the cargo, passengers and trailer tongue front seat passenger, and all required trailering equipment. This value represents weight. Put another way, the GVWR should always be greater than or equal to the the heaviest trailer the vehicle can tow, but it may be necessary to reduce the trailer weight of your vehicle, passengers, cargo and tongue weight. weight to stay within the GCWR, GVWR, maximum trailer tongue load, or RGAWR for the vehicle. Gross Combined Weight (GCW) Alert Available on Silverado 1500, the GCW Alert warns the driver if the combined vehicle and trailer weight exceeds the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of the vehicle.

Other factors that can cause sway are crosswinds, poor vehicle Safety Chains Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and your trailer worse. Speed is a major contributor to trailer sway, so you need to slow the vehicle — and cross them under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will be less likely to drop if the trailer should separate from the hitch. Leave enough slack in the chains so you can corner without the chains impeding the movement of the trailer. Do not maintenance and road conditions. Trying to steer out of sway will likely make it braking, however, could lead to a jackknife or other loss of control. To help control sway, follow these steps: • H old the steering wheel as steady as possible allow safety chains to drag on the ground. • R elease the accelerator but do not touch the brake pedal Loading Your Trailer Load your conventional trailer to attain a 10% to 15% tongue • U se the vehicle brakes to come to a complete stop weight. Some specific trailer types (especially boat trailers) fall outside of this range. In these cases, the recommended tongue weight listed in the trailer Owner’s Manual should be observed. A good rule of thumb is to distribute 60% of the load over the front half of the trailer and evenly from side to side. Loads sitting either too far forward or too far back in the trailer can create unstable trailering conditions — such as trailer sway — at highway speeds and during heavy braking. Once the trailer has been loaded and the weight is distributed properly, all cargo should be secured to prevent the load from shifting. Safety Checklist Before starting out on a trip, double-check the hitch and platform, the hitch nuts and bolts, mirror adjustments, safety chains, and vehicle and trailer lights. Make sure that a sway-control device is installed, if required, and that the device is working properly. Check tire pressure on both the tow vehicle and the trailer. If your trailer has electric brakes, test them by manually engaging the brake controller while the vehicle is moving slowly. Check to see that the breakaway switch, if available, is connected and functioning properly. Finally, make certain that all • A ctivate electric trailer brakes (if equipped) by hand, until the sway condition stops You should pull your vehicle to the side of the road and attempt to determine the cause of the instability. Check the cargo load for shifting and improper weight distribution. Check tire pressure on the tow vehicle and trailer and the condition of the suspension and shocks. If the sway was caused by strong winds, wait for conditions to improve before continuing your trip. Finally, some trailers can be equipped with anti-sway devices. Contact the manufacturer of your trailer for availability. Cornering The turning radius of a trailer is typically much smaller than that of your vehicle; therefore, a trailer may hit soft shoulders, curbs, trees or other objects when making tight turns. Taking turns sharply can also cause the trailer to strike against and damage the tow vehicle. When approaching a sharp corner, brake sooner than normal to reduce vehicle speed before entering the turn. Drive the vehicle slightly past the normal turning point, then firmly turn the steering wheel. By cornering at a loads are secure. wider angle, both the vehicle and the trailer should safely clear the inside of the turn. ON THE ROAD Passing When passing, allow additional time and distance to safely pass the other Accelerating/Braking Avoid overworking your engine when trailering by applying after passing, make certain your trailer is clear of the vehicle you have passed. Never gradual pressure on the accelerator. Allow your vehicle to safely reach a comfortable pass on hills or around curves. vehicle. Signal your intention to pass well in advance and, when reentering the lane driving speed. Give yourself extra time and room when merging onto highways. Braking when pulling a trailer requires extra distance. Allow ample room to come to a Backing Up To back up a trailer, place one hand at the six o’clock position on the safe stop. A good measure for determining a safe following distance is to allow one steering wheel. To move the trailer to the left, move your hand to the left. To move vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead of you for every 10 mph the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Back up slowly and move the of speed. When braking, use firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. steering wheel in small increments to help maintain control. To assist in backing up, it is helpful to have someone outside the vehicle to guide you.
