Towing capacity of Chevrolet SUVs

2026 Chevrolet Trax

The towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax is not the central argument for this model. As the brand's smallest SUV, the Trax is designed for urban agility and driving enjoyment, reasonable fuel use, and practical utility volume for its size. Given its dimensions, towing is not recommended.

In other words, if you want a practical city vehicle, it is a smart choice, offering maximum usefulness in a very compact package. However, if you plan to pull a trailer, you will need to move up the lineup.

2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer can reach 1,000 lb. (453 kg), depending on equipment. It is modest, yes, but sufficient for very light needs. With a starting price of $31,825, an available AWD trim, and up to 1,540 L of maximum cargo space, the Trailblazer balances compact size and versatility. It is a logical pick if you want a small, nimble SUV with a little weekend flexibility.

Red 2026 Chevrolet Equinox with the trunk open in the city, a versatile SUV with a towing capacity suited to light needs.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox can reach 1,500 lb. (680 kg) on all-wheel drive trims, depending on equipment. The 1.5 L turbo engine develops 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, and the manufacturer's price starts at only $37,425.

For many families, it is a very attractive model: more spacious than a Trailblazer, more versatile than a Trax, yet still accessible. For a small trailer, bikes, or occasional use, the Equinox is ideal.

2027 Chevrolet Bolt

The towing capacity of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is not specified by Chevrolet Canada, but the model stands out for other strengths. Its accessible entry price, an estimated range of 422 km, a 65 kWh LFP battery, a standard NACS port, and improved fast charging make it a very practical EV.

It also delivers a modern experience with Google built-in, digital screens, and several driver assistance systems that are useful every day, making it a simple, tech-forward EV well suited to daily travel.

2026 Chevrolet Blazer

Depending on the engine, the towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer tops out at 4,500 lb. That already works for a small camper or a recreational trailer. With safety technologies, all-wheel drive as standard, and a format that suits various needs, the Blazer is a good choice for those seeking an SUV that is practical, capable, and visually more dynamic.

It stands out with confident styling, a modern cabin, solid comfort levels, and broad versatility, plus a starting price of $47,425.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV tow rating reaches 1,500 lb. (680 kg). It is not a towing champion, but it is appreciated for a compact electric SUV. The Equinox EV also offers up to 513 km of range in front-wheel drive, up to 1,620 L of maximum cargo space, and a starting price of $49,625.

It mainly targets those who want to go electric without giving up a small towing capability, while enjoying many standard features and technologies, broad versatility, and strong comfort.

2026 Chevrolet Traverse

At 5,000 lb. (2,268 kg), the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse's towing capacity impresses. It is a clear step up. Driving is lively thanks to the 2.5 L turbo engine that develops 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, and you will enjoy a particularly spacious interior with seating for up to 8.

For active families, it is one of the lineup's strongest balance points: three rows, generous cargo room, and a very useful towing capacity.

2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV

The towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV can reach 3,500 lb. (1,588 kg), which is generous for an electric SUV. It also stands out with bold styling, a versatile midsize format, a tech-forward cabin, and strong performance depending on the trim. You also get up to 502 km of range and up to 615 horsepower in the SS trim!

You will appreciate the large 17.7-inch central display, assertive design, modern technologies, and the remarkable balance between comfort, power, and electrification.

This Chevrolet SUV suits active families as well as drivers who need a full-size SUV that can work hard. With numerous driver assistance systems, camera views that help with towing, and long-distance comfort, the Tahoe is an excellent option for those who want space, versatility, and confidence at the wheel.

2026 Chevrolet Suburban

With the 3.0 L Duramax, the towing capacity of the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban reaches 7,800 lb. (3,538 kg). Its big strength is space. With up to 4,092 L of maximum cargo space, the Suburban is built for big families, long trips, and substantial loads. In short, if you want to tow heavy and carry a lot at the same time, it is hard to beat.
