The package includes a tray to accept a ball hitch and drilled box holes with caps, plus a cargo bed-mounted 7-pin trailer harness. DIGITAL STEERING ASSIST Silverado HD models feature the Digital Steering Assist system, which varies hydraulic pressure to tailor steering effort to the situation. The system automatically adjusts power steering assist whether you’re hauling a load in a parking lot or cruising at highway speed on a curving road. The system also corrects when it senses a crown in the road and improves steering wheel returnability. REAR VISION CAMERA SYSTEM This standard feature has grid lines on the screen to make it easier to line up the truck with your trailer when backing up to connect it. BRAKES To accommodate heavier loads, all Silverado models are equipped with front and rear disc brakes that have Duralife™ rotors, which offer up to double the service life compared to previous systems. You can also order the available integrated trailer brake controller, which allows your trailer’s brakes to operate simultaneously with the vehicle’s brakes. TRAILER SWAY CONTROL Integrated with StabiliTrak and the trailer brake controller (if equipped), Trailer Sway Control senses trailer sway and automatically applies the brakes – on the vehicle and trailer – and helps reduce engine power if necessary to set the situation straight again. FRAME CONSTRUCTION The fully boxed frame provides a strong foundation for maximum hauling capability. The high-strength steel frame also provides a sturdy base for noise and vibration isolation and crashworthiness. ‘SMART’ EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEM Included with the available Duramax® Turbo-Diesel 6.6L engine on Silverado HD models, this system uses the turbocharger to create back pressure that helps slow the vehicle, reduce brake use and extend brake life. HILL START ASSIST Now standard on all Silverado pickups and Express vans, this automatic feature momentarily holds the vehicle stationary on grades of 5 percent or steeper, allowing the driver to accelerate before rolling backward. HILL DESCENT CONTROL An available feature that uses the antilock brake system to maintain a moderate vehicle speed when going downhill in forward or reverse while hauling a load. AUTOMATIC LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL This available GM-exclusive feature engages when the system senses a wheel slip. The system channels drive power to the rear wheel with the most grip to help you regain traction. TOW/HAUL MODE Tow/Haul Mode minimizes “searching” for shift points to keep the transmission in the right gear for the load you’re hauling. TRAILERING MIRRORS Heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors with back-up lamps are available on Silverado LD and HD models. The auxiliary back-up lamp and amber clearance lamp in each mirror enhance trailer visibility when backing up. TRAILERING TERMS GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) The weight in pounds each axle is capable of supporting. The load on each axle must not exceed its GAWR. Your Chevy truck’s GAWR is posted on the driver’s door or door-lock pillar panel. GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING (GCWR) The total allowable weight of the loaded vehicle and its trailer combined. The GCWR includes the weight of the driver, passengers, fuel, original equipment and gear you carry. GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT The weight of your loaded trailer. TRAILER WEIGHT RATING The trailer weight rating (in pounds) for any vehicle is determined by subtracting the vehicle’s weight from the GCWR. At the trailer weight rating for a properly equipped vehicle, you should be able to accelerate, merge with traffic, climb a typical grade on a road or interstate at highway speed and, assuming satisfactory road conditions, maintain control on various road surfaces and stop the vehicle within a reasonable distance. GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) This rating is the maximum amount a tow vehicle can weigh. Everything contributing to the tow vehicle’s weight is factored into the GVWR, including the weight of the truck, driver, passengers, fuel payload, tongue load of the trailer, hitch weight and all optional equipment. The GVWR is displayed on the driver’s door or door-lock pillar label. 10 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE SELECTING THE CORRECT VEHICLE FOR YOUR TRAILERING NEEDS 1. What is your trailer’s weight? 2. In addition to the trailer, how much weight will you be carrying? 3. How much time will you spend towing? 4. Which conditions will you most likely encounter? ° Steep grades ° Extreme temperatures ° High altitude 5. Will you tow over short or long distances? 6. Will your towing or payload needs increase in the future? 7. What are your trailer’s height and width? 8. What type of hitch does your trailer require? ° Weight-carrying ° Weight-distributing ° Fifth-wheel ° Gooseneck 9. Is your trailer equipped with trailer brakes? 10. What type of electrical connection does your trailer need? ° 4-wire ° 6-wire ° 7-wire ° 8-wire ° Other Silverado 2500HD with 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine and other optional equipment shown. 2018 COLORADO ENGINE HORSEPOWER, TORQUE AND MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT RATINGS Engine 2.5L I-4 (LCV) 3.6L V6 (LGZ) 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-4 (LWN) Horsepower 200 @ 6,300 308 @ 6,800 181 @ 3,400 Torque (lb.-ft.) 191 @ 4,400 275 @ 4,000 369 @ 2,000 AXLE RATIO RATINGS (lbs) AXLE RATIO RATINGS (lbs) AXLE RATIO RATINGS (lbs) Colorado 2WD 4.10 3,500 3.42 7,000 3.42 7,700 Colorado 4WD 4.10 3,500 3.42 7,000* 3.42 7,600* *Excludes ZR2 model, which has 5,000-lb. towing rating.

SILVERADO FEATURES GOOSENECK/FIFTH-WHEEL PREP PACKAGEThe available Gooseneck/Fifth-Wheel package includes a hitch platform in the cargo bed for 2500HD and 3500HD models to help ensure strength and dependability when towing. The package includes a tray to accept a ball hitch and drilled box holes with caps, plus a cargo bed-mounted 7-pin trailer harness.
DIGITAL STEERING ASSIST Silverado HD models feature the Digital Steering Assist system, which varies hydraulic pressure to tailor steering effort to the situation. The system automatically adjusts power steering assist whether you’re hauling a load in a parking lot or cruising at highway speed on a curving road. The system also corrects when it senses a crown in the road and improves steering wheel returnability.
REAR VISION CAMERA SYSTEMThis standard feature has grid lines on the screen to make it easier to line up the truck with your trailer when backing up to connect it.
BRAKES To accommodate heavier loads, all Silverado models are equipped with front and rear disc brakes that have Duralife™ rotors, which offer up to double the service life compared to previous systems. You can also order the available integrated trailer brake controller, which allows your trailer’s brakes to operate simultaneously with the vehicle’s brakes.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROLIntegrated with StabiliTrak and the trailer brake controller (if equipped), Trailer Sway Control senses trailer sway and automatically applies the brakes – on the vehicle and trailer – and helps reduce engine power if necessary to set the situation straight again.
FRAME CONSTRUCTIONThe fully boxed frame provides a strong foundation for maximum hauling capability. The high-strength steel frame also provides a sturdy base for noise and vibration isolation and crashworthiness.
‘SMART’ EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEMIncluded with the available Duramax® Turbo-Diesel 6.6L engine on Silverado HD models, this system uses the turbocharger to create back pressure that helps slow the vehicle, reduce brake use and extend brake life.
HILL START ASSISTNow standard on all Silverado pickups and Express vans, this automatic feature momentarily holds the vehicle stationary on grades of 5 percent or steeper, allowing the driver to accelerate before rolling backward.
HILL DESCENT CONTROLAn available feature that uses the antilock brake system to maintain a moderate vehicle speed when going downhill in forward or reverse while hauling a load.
AUTOMATIC LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIALThis available GM-exclusive feature engages when the system senses a wheel slip. The system channels drive power to the rear wheel with the most grip to help you regain traction.
TOW/HAUL MODETow/Haul Mode minimizes “searching” for shift points to keep the transmission in the right gear for the load you’re hauling.
TRAILERING MIRRORSHeated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors with back-up lamps are available on Silverado LD and HD models. The auxiliary back-up lamp and amber clearance lamp in each mirror enhance trailer visibility when backing up.
TRAILERING TERMS GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) The weight in pounds each axle is capable of supporting. The load on each axle must not exceed its GAWR. Your Chevy truck’s GAWR is posted on the driver’s door or door-lock pillar panel.
GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING (GCWR) The total allowable weight of the loaded vehicle and its trailer combined. The GCWR includes the weight of the driver, passengers, fuel, original equipment and gear you carry.
GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT The weight of your loaded trailer.
TRAILER WEIGHT RATINGThe trailer weight rating (in pounds) for any vehicle is determined by subtracting the vehicle’s weight from the GCWR. At the trailer weight rating for a properly equipped vehicle, you should be able to accelerate, merge with traffic, climb a typical grade on a road or interstate at highway speed and, assuming satisfactory road conditions, maintain control on various road surfaces and stop the vehicle within a reasonable distance.
GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)This rating is the maximum amount a tow vehicle can weigh. Everything contributing to the tow vehicle’s weight is factored into the GVWR, including the weight of the truck, driver, passengers, fuel payload, tongue load of the trailer, hitch weight and all optional equipment. The GVWR is displayed on the driver’s door or door-lock pillar label.
