The 2003 Chevy Tahoe's towing capacity ranges from 7,400 to 7,700 pounds, depending on the transmission type. If you opt for the automatic transmission, the capacity is 7,400 pounds, while it goes up to 7,700 pounds with the manual transmission. With the standard 5.3L V8 engine, you'll get a torque output of 290 lb-ft, but if you choose the optional 6.0L V8 engine, it increases to 325 lb-ft. Regardless of the engine, all models have a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds. The payload capacity varies slightly among trim levels, ranging from 1,672 to 1,750 lbs, but the difference is minimal and shouldn't be a major concern.
