Check your owner's manual. Some Silverados came from the factory with a tow package. My Nephew's '03 has it. His truck came with the square trailer hitch just under the rear bumper & a plug for the trailer brake lights. Sounds like yours is equipped for light duty towing though. HTH. -Jim

It should be stamped in the bumper the load weight and the tongue weight capacities. Sounds too heavy to be towed by a bumper hitch, I'd spring for a good class 3 or 4 hitch.

Looked on the bumper but could not find anything. However, i noticed that the bumper is bolted to the frame in three (3) different areas.

That sounds like an aftermarket bumper set up to me, could be a DeeZee or someone like that. Check on the backside or underneath of the bumper to see if there any specs on it. I still don't think it is strong enough to trust to tow your boat.

Thanks, I will check with the Chevy dealer. I have a hitch on order just in case.

Hi I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado with the gas 6.0 and is a towing machine. It has a 4 inch lift with 35" tires. We had a 2008 bumper pull comfort trailer dry weight was 7770 and it towed it fine but lagged going up hill. I had the stock gears changed from 4:10 to 4:86 and it brought it back to normal. My question is I am looking at purchasing a new travel trailer bumper pull and it's dry weight is 8320 that's a 550 lbs difference. So will I be fine towing this trailer. 2 answers
