Chevrolet SUVs Ranked by Towing Capacity

When it comes to SUVs, Chevrolet has a lineup that's as diverse as your friend group: there's the sporty one, the reliable one, the one that thinks it's truck, and, of course, the one that's secretly a family minivan in disguise. But what is one thing they all have in common? They can tow. Whether you're hauling a boat to the lake or need to pull a hefty trailer for your next DIY project, Chevrolet SUVs are here to help. At Milton Ruben Chevrolet in Augusta, GA, we're ranking these SUVs by how much they can tow.

Chevrolet Tahoe

Let's kick things off with the big boss of Chevy's SUV towing lineup -- the Chevrolet Tahoe. This full-size SUV is like the high school quarterback who peaked in his senior year and is still coasting on that glory. With a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 pounds, the Tahoe can tow everything from a camper trailer to a small planet. If you've got big toys or even bigger ambitions, the Tahoe is your go-to.

Powered by either a 5.3-liter V8 or an optional 6.2-liter V8 engine, the Tahoe doesn't just make you feel like a king of the road -- it also has enough power to back it up. Plus, with a spacious interior, you can comfortably fit your entire extended family (and maybe a few stray pets) for that cross-country adventure. Just remember to keep snacks handy -- because a road trip without snacks is like a car without wheels.

Chevrolet Suburban

Next up is the Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe's larger sibling. If the Tahoe is the high school quarterback, the Suburban is the one who went on to become a successful entrepreneur -- still great at towing (up to 8,300 pounds) but also knows how to handle a board meeting.

With its cavernous cargo space, you can load up for a weekend getaway or transport a drove of children to soccer practice. The Suburban is perfect for those who think, "Why not take the whole family AND the kitchen sink?" With its robust V8 engine options and top-notch towing capacity, the Suburban is ready for anything. Just keep the kids from knowing about the snacks in the back; it could turn into a food fight on wheels.

Chevrolet Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse is the overachiever of the SUV class -- perfect for families who don't want to feel like they're driving a bus. With a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, this midsize SUV has plenty of muscle for the weekend warrior. It's like that friend who's always down for a hiking trip but also knows where to find the best taco truck in town.

With seating for up to eight people, the Traverse is great for those family road trips where you're not just transporting people but also their luggage, sports gear, and the occasional pet. It's surprisingly spacious, but make sure you have a strategy for the inevitable "Are we there yet?" chorus from the back seat. Because if you think towing is tough, wait until you hear that for the fifth time.

Chevrolet Blazer

The Chevrolet Blazer is here to remind you that you can have style and substance. With a towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds, it's perfect for those who want to look good while still being practical. Think of it as the fashionable friend who also happens to have a side gig as a personal trainer.

The Blazer has that sporty look and feel, making it an excellent choice for those who want a touch of excitement on their daily drive. It's not just about getting from A to B; it's about making an entrance (or at least a stylish turn into the grocery store parking lot). Just be careful with that towing capacity; you want to avoid overloading it while trying to impress your neighbors with your brand-new jet ski.

Chevrolet Equinox

Last but not least, we have the Chevrolet Equinox, the compact SUV that's ready to tow but knows its limits -- up to 3,500 pounds. It's the little engine that could, proving that size only sometimes matters. Perfect for those who only need to haul a small trailer or a couple of bikes, the Equinox is excellent for weekend warriors who want to keep it light and fun.

With its spacious interior and a surprisingly good amount of tech features, the Equinox is ready to tackle daily errands, road trips, and everything in between. Just don't get too ambitious with the towing; remember, it's more of a weekend getaway kind of SUV, not a "let's move the entire house" kind of vehicle.
