In 2002, the Chevrolet Tahoe came in 5 different trims with a standard engine output of 290 lbs.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. This SUV can tow anywhere from 7,700 to 8,100 pounds and carry a payload ranging from 2,077 to 3,153 pounds. Understanding your vehicle's towing capacity is crucial for safe towing and to prevent damage from overloading it. Towing capacity refers to the maximum weight your vehicle can pull when hauling a trailer, determined by the manufacturer considering factors like GVWR, GAWR, and GTW. Simply put, it's the weight limit for your trailer. Always adhere to the maximum towing capacity in every towing scenario.
