Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Forum : “bed capacity”

i would say 8500 to 10,000 lbs towing.

the bed capacity is around 1500lbs hence the 3/4 ton weight rating, however without a load leveling system like rear airbags the back of your truck will sit very low

the owners manual says payload is 1850 pounds, and tow 12,000 pounds
