How Much Does a Silverado Weigh?
The Chevrolet Silverado is one of the most popular trucks on the market today. With a variety of Silverado options available and a wide range of colors, there’s something for everyone! It’s very ideal for people looking for trucks for sale in Clinton TN. One question we often get from prospective buyers is: How much does a Chevy Silverado weigh? Or rather how much can a Silverado tow or pull? Well, we know what you’re thinking – that’s an easy question to answer. But it turns out, the answer isn’t so straightforward.
The weight of the Chevy Silverado varies depending on the specific Silverado model. There are currently three Silverado models: Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500HD, and Silverado 3500HD. The exact weight will also depend on several other factors including the cab type (regular cab, double cab, or crew cab), drivetrain (2WD or 4WD), the engine specs, and the truck bed length (standard, short, or long). Here we’ll talk specifically about the 2021 Silverado. If you’re ready for a 2022, check out our stats on weight of the 2022 models by clicking here.

Chevrolet Silverado Weight – Base Curb Weight and GVWR
If you’re a first-time truck buyer, you may not be aware that there are two types of weight that have to be considered when it comes to a vehicle: Base Curb Weight and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). What’s surprising is that many vehicle owners are also not aware that there is a huge difference between these two terms.
When we talk about the Base Curb Weight of the vehicle, this number refers to the weight of the vehicle with its standard equipment, but without the weight of any items or passengers loaded into it. To put it simply, this is the weight of the vehicle when parked or unused.
On the other hand, GVWR refers to the maximum weight that your vehicle can safely handle – including payload capacity, passengers, cargo, fuel, etc.
Based on GVWR, below are the maximum GVWR of the Silverado models:
- 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Weight – 7,300 lbs.
- 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Weight – 11,350 lbs.
- 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Weight – 14,000 lbs.
In the following sections, we will list down the base curb weight and GVWR of the different 2021 Chevy Silverado models and trims.
