Has anyone seen the tow ratings for the 2009 Hybrid Silverado?I have heardthe TahoeHybrid has a tow rating of only 6200 lbs., and this is with the 6.0L V8 AFM and a continous electric ratio hybrid transmission with four fixed gears. I would hope the Silveradoi can tow more than 6200 lbs. MPG for the Silverado Hybrid 2WDis said to be 21 city and 22 hwy.

this should tell you

 

Thanks for responding but the given web site did not produce any information regarding towing ability of the Hybrid Silverado.

 

the website states that the towing will be 10,600lbs

 

Do no believe your information is correct. If the 2009 Hybrid Tahoe can only tow 6200 lbs I do not see how the 2009 Hybrid Silverado could tow as much as you report.

 

True, i misread, that is the normal truck with the 4spd. this is the hybrid

"The new 6.2-liter V-8 is rated at 403 horsepower and 417 pounds-feet of torque. Those power figures were previously restricted to the Cadillac Escalade and GMC Sierra Denali. The new engine will only be available with a 3.42 rear axle, and towing will be limited to 9,300 pounds. That’s 900 pounds more than last year’s GMC Sierra Denali, which also used a 3.42 rear axle."
