There’s nothing like a day on the water. Whether you’re casting a line or catching some rays, boat days are the best days. But before you pack the cooler and load up the car, make sure you have the right vehicle for the job.

Here at Burns Chevrolet of Rock Hill, YOUR Chevy dealership, we believe that getting to the lake should be as carefree as floating on it. So we’ve outlined which SUVs are best for boat towing. 

Can an SUV Tow a Boat? 

Some drivers assume that only heavy duty pickup trucks are equipped to tow a boat, but that’s not the case at all! In fact, our huge selection includes a variety of Chevy SUVs that can tow your boat.

Best Chevrolet SUVs for Towing a Boat 

These Chevy SUVs’ towing capacities have earned them a spot on our list!

Suburban

With plenty of space for passengers and lake essentials, the Chevy Suburban is ready to ride. Although its standard towing capacity is 6,300 pounds, its maximum towing capacity tops out at 8,300 pounds with the Max Trailering Package. Plus, the Advanced Trailering System’s in-vehicle app provides custom profiles and more to make sure your vehicle is as ready for the drive as you are.

Tahoe

Like the Suburban, the Chevrolet Tahoe provides comfortable seating for up to nine passengers. Towing capacity is comparable as well, with 6,600-pound capacity coming standard. Up the ante with the Max Trailering Package and two-wheel drive – and haul up to 8,600 pounds with ease. In terms of towing capacity, the Tahoe beats the Jeep Grand Cherokee hands-down.

Traverse 

While technically a mid-size SUV, the Chevy Traverse has room for eight – and plenty of power to get you where you want to go. With a standard V6 engine, the Traverse can tow up to 1,500 pounds. Adding the Trailering Package achieves a maximum towing capacity up to 5,000 pounds.

Blazer

The Chevy Blazer, despite its smaller size, can still reach an impressive towing capacity – up to 1,500 pounds with a V4 engine. Upgrade to the Trailering Package and a V6 engine (with all-wheel drive) to tow up to 4,500 pounds. The Blazer boasts great cargo space, too, and can comfortably transport five passengers.
