Chevy’s powerful trucks have class-leading tow ratings, and the brand has created trailering packages to help you take full advantage of them. Each package is designed to augment your vehicle's towing capacity, offering a suite of features tailored for this purpose.
The Colorado Trailering Package includes a 2" receiver hitch, which is fundamental for attaching trailers. For electrical connectivity, the package provides both 4-pin and 7-pin connectors. These connectors are part of a 7-wire electrical harness and a 7-pin sealed connector, essential for linking your trailer's lights and brakes with your vehicle. Additionally, there's a 4-way sealed connector designed for trailers that lack brakes, facilitating the connection of parking lamps, brake lamps, and turn signals. Another significant feature of this package is the automatic locking rear differential, which enhances towing stability and control.
An Advanced Trailering package is also available for the 2024 Colorado that may require additional optional equipment. Ask your Jay Taylor Chevrolet representative to find out how you can upgrade your trailering package.
Key components of the 2024 Silverado 1500 Trailering Package include a trailer hitch and a trailering hitch platform.

Hitch Guidance is also included and assists in easier connection and towing. It's important to note that this package might necessitate the purchase of extra optional equipment to utilize its capabilities fully.

Additionally, the package includes a 3500 HD Shock Package, which helps in maintaining ride quality and control during towing.
For versatility in towing, the package offers Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep provisions, making it suitable for a variety of trailer types. This includes bed-stamped holes with caps installed, which facilitates the attachment of different towing equipment. It's important to note that to leverage the capabilities of this package fully, additional optional equipment may be required.
