<span class=copy1><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>1 Maximum trailer weight
ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except any option(s)
necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional
equipment, passengers and cargo required will reduce the maximum trailer
weight your vehicle can tow. See your Chevy Truck dealer for additional details.
</span></span></p>


<span class=copy1><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NOTE:</span></span> <span
class=copy1><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Trailer tongue weight should be 10
to 15 percent of total loaded trailer weight (up to 1,500 lbs.). Addition of
trailer tongue weight cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle
Weight Rating (RGAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings
can be found on the certification label located on the driver door or door
frame. Z82 Heavy-Duty Trailering Equipment Package includes trailer hitch
platform, trailer electrical connector and trailer brake control harness.</span></span>
