Part of our 2027 Chevrolet Suburban buyer’s guide from Webb Chevy Plainfield.
What is the 2027 Suburban tow rating?
Chevrolet rates the Suburban at up to 8,300 pounds when properly equipped. The exact number for any vehicle is printed on its trailering label and depends on engine, drivetrain and options.
What trailers fit within 8,300 pounds?
Most mid-size travel trailers, pontoon boats, fishing boats and utility trailers used by Plainfield-area families fall under that limit. Always add the weight of cargo and water in the trailer when you check.
A common local trip: hitching a camper in Plainfield and heading down I-55 to state parks along the Illinois River.
Which towing aids are available?
Super Cruise can detect a trailer and extend following distance, Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering helps on lane changes, and the in-vehicle trailering app stores trailer profiles and walks you through pre-trip checks.
Which Suburban setup tows best?
The Duramax 3.0L for torque and range, or the 6.2L V8 for maximum horsepower. The Z71 adds a two-speed transfer case for slippery boat ramps.
