2021 Chevy Equinox Towing Capacity & Engine Specs

The Chevy Equinox engine options are available with two choices on certain trim levels. Depending on which one you choose, you can increase the Equinox maximum payload and specs for towing when vacationing to Oshkosh.

Towing a Trailer with the Chevy Equinox

If you are wondering if the Chevy Equinox specs are enough to tow a trailer to Appleton, other than towing capacity, there are also other things you have to consider. Chevy’s towing guide suggests choosing a trailer with a maximum tongue weight no more than 10 to 15% of the vehicle’s GCWR (gross combination weight rating).

• If the correct hitch is installed, the Equinox towing specs and capacity increase to 4,500 pounds.
• With the 1.5L engine, the Equinox can tow smaller trailers like a teardrop camper. If the larger 2.0L engine is equipped the Chevy Equinox towing capacity increases to be able to haul something larger like an Airstream Caravel.
• Aside from camping trailers, you can tow something like the Big Tex Trailer’s 35SV utility trailer (77-inch x 10-14 feet) with the 2.0L engine. The 1.5L engine can haul this same trailer, just not at maximum capacity.
