The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe carries a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class IV hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2022 Chevrolet Tahoes on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart.
