The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe is more than just a full-size SUV—it’s a powerhouse built to move gear, trailers, boats, and recreational toys without compromise. Thanks to its robust ladder frame construction, strong powertrain lineup, and advanced trailering technologies, the Tahoe offers the kind of towing confidence most SUVs simply can’t match. Whether you’re heading out with a camper trailer, hauling a pair of ATVs into the forest, or backing a fishing boat into the water, the Tahoe delivers strength and control in equal measure.

Multiple Engines, One Purpose

Towing in the 2025 Tahoe starts with choice—specifically, your choice of three highly capable engines. The standard 5.3-litre V8 delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, a proven workhorse well suited for typical trailer loads like pop-up campers or utility haulers. For those demanding more grunt, the available 6.2-litre V8 boosts output to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, ideal for heavier setups like dual-axle cargo trailers, enclosed haulers, or full-size boats. The 3.0-litre Duramax® turbo-diesel inline-six rounds out the powertrain lineup, offering 305 horsepower and a generous 495 lb-ft of torque. What makes the Duramax option so compelling is its broad torque band and superior fuel economy when towing at highway speeds—especially beneficial for long hauls or extended backcountry trips.

All three engines are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and are available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configurations. When properly equipped, the 2025 Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds—making it one of the most capable SUVs in its class. Integrated trailer brakes, tow/haul mode, and an advanced cooling system help manage the stress of sustained towing, even over mountainous terrain or during extreme summer heat.

Technology That Simplifies the Task

Towing can be a source of anxiety, especially for those new to trailering. That’s why the 2025 Tahoe includes a full suite of available towing-focused technologies to make the process easier and safer. The Advanced Trailering System, accessible through the infotainment screen, lets drivers create custom trailer profiles, run a pre-departure checklist, and monitor trailer tire pressure and temperature (when properly equipped). Multiple camera views—including hitch guidance, hitch view, and even rear trailer view—allow precise hook-up and confident backing into tight campsites or launch ramps.

Trailer Sway Control works with the vehicle’s stability system to help keep trailers tracking straight under windy conditions or during evasive manoeuvres. An integrated trailer brake controller is available and works with electric or electric-over-hydraulic braking systems, ensuring smoother stops and greater control. Tahoe also features hill start assist and available hill descent control, especially helpful when towing over gravel access roads or sloped cottage driveways.

Chassis and Suspension Tailored for the Task

Beyond power, the Tahoe’s towing capability is underpinned by a chassis engineered for load handling. The independent rear suspension provides better articulation, increased ride comfort, and improved stability while towing compared to traditional solid-axle setups. Available Magnetic Ride Control and Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension enhance stability further by automatically adjusting damping or ride height to maintain level posture under load. With the air suspension engaged, the Tahoe can lower for easier hitching, raise for better ground clearance when off pavement, or automatically balance itself while towing heavy cargo to reduce squat and bounce.

The available Max Trailering Package takes this a step further, bundling upgrades like a 3.23 rear axle ratio, enhanced cooling, and trailer brake controller with a high-capacity suspension system to ensure you get the most out of the Tahoe’s towing limits.

Interior Versatility That Complements Capability

While the Tahoe’s towing strength is impressive, it doesn’t come at the expense of passenger or cargo space. With seating for up to eight and class-leading second- and third-row legroom, the Tahoe makes it easy to bring family or friends along for the trip. When it’s time to pack up, the Tahoe offers up to 3,480 litres of cargo space behind the first row with seats folded flat—room enough for camping supplies, coolers, tents, and more. Roof rails come standard on most trims, and accessories like crossbars, hitch-mounted cargo carriers, and bike racks expand hauling flexibility for gear that doesn’t go on a trailer.

Chevrolet’s rear-seat media system, available on higher trims, includes dual 12.6-inch HD touchscreens with HDMI and wireless device pairing, so rear passengers can stay entertained on long drives to the lake or trailhead. Meanwhile, built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi, multiple USB ports in all rows, and wireless phone charging keep everyone connected.

Confident Towing in Any Season

The Tahoe’s available four-wheel drive system includes a two-speed transfer case with selectable drive modes that adjust throttle and traction settings for snow, sand, and off-road terrain. Combined with automatic locking rear differentials and 20-inch all-terrain tire options on Z71 and other off-road trims, the Tahoe is ready for every season. Snowy boat launches, muddy cottage roads, and icy gravel trails are easily managed with the available traction aids, and heated mirrors, a heated steering wheel, and remote start ensure a comfortable start no matter the weather.

With its robust engine lineup, high tow ratings, advanced trailering tech, and everyday comfort, the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe is a top-tier choice for anyone who tows regularly—whether it’s campers, boats, sleds, or work trailers. It’s an SUV that understands the demands of recreation and responds with engineering built to handle them all.
