Silverado’s Combination include that the powerful Vortec V-8 engines and six-speed automatic transmissions offer a maximum trailering capacity up to 10,700 pounds.The unique Silverado returns for 2011, delivering a 25-percent improvement in overall fuel economy while offering the Silverado’s traditional capabilities – including a 6,200-pound (2,812 kg) towing capacity.
The Silverado frame is all new and is now fully boxed for greater strength and rigidity. The truck is available in 11 different configurations, and the frame has been designed for easier mounting of a fifth-wheel hitch in the bed. Maximum towing capacity is said to be a nice round 20,000 pounds with the fifth wheel—16K with the standard hitch—while payload capacity tops out at 6335 pounds. Ford has yet to release its ratings for the ’11 Super Duty, but the 2010 Dodge Ram HD is capable of carrying up to 5130 pounds in the bed and towing up to 17,600 pounds.
