Silverado 1500 Towing
Anyone know the towing capacity for a 2013 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 5.3 engine with 3.42 rear end with trailer package? Can't find anything on line. Dealer says 9600 pounds but not sure about that....

Wow Guys, that is a bunch of info for me to infuse into this old head but thanks.
Some of the weights were in my thinking, so thanks for verifying those for me.
If the salesman had said Yes, 9600 and then subtract for, I don't think I would have bought the truck
If he had told me that the cgwr was 15000 I would not have bought the truck. Truck is 6800 actual gross weight on the trailer is 8500. I figure I am closer to 7000 lbs. If not, then off to Trailer Weight Watchers.
I didn't realize the payload for the truck was so small.
Lot's of "ifs" but I relied on the salesman. Should have known better.
I am trying to get a guy to hook up my wdh. Has to be adjusted to the new truck. Once that is done, I plan on getting the whole rig weighed (as suggested).
I don't mind towing at low speed. I generally tow between 60 and 65. Getting too old for the fast stuff. besides, I am retired and in no hurry.
Again, thanks all and as soon as I get it weighed I will be back.
