Does the Chevy Trailblazer come with a tow package?
The Trailblazer can be equipped with a factory Trailering Package on select trims, enabling towing when properly configured. Availability depends on the trim and engine; confirm with the dealer or the vehicle’s window sticker for the exact build.
What the Trailering Package includes
The Trailering Package provides the hardware and supporting systems needed for towing and is typically offered on mid- to high-level trims. Below are the core components you’ll commonly find.
- Heavy‑duty cooling components for the engine and transmission to handle the extra load
- A trailer hitch receiver paired with a trailer wiring harness for trailer lights and braking signals
- Software and hardware support for towing stability, including integration with trailer sway control
Note: Exact contents can vary by model year and regional specifications. Check your vehicle’s build sheet or ask a Chevrolet dealer to confirm what’s included on your Trailblazer.
Which Trailblazer trims offer it
The Trailering Package is not available on every configuration. It is generally offered on mid‑ to higher trims and may require the available turbocharged engine. Here’s the typical pattern you’ll see in recent model years.
- LT and higher trims are commonly eligible for the Trailering Package when paired with the 1.3L Turbo engine
- Higher trims such as Activ, RS, and Premier are commonly compatible with the package, subject to regional options and year
- The base LS with the smaller engine is generally not paired with the Trailering Package
Because Chevrolet occasionally revises option availability, it’s important to confirm on your specific build sheet or with a dealership.
How to verify for your vehicle
To be sure your Trailblazer has or can have a tow package, check these sources:
- Window sticker or Monroney label showing the optional Trailering Package
- Build sheet or order sheet from the dealer
- Chevrolet’s official website or your VIN’s owner portal for current specs
If in doubt, ask your local Chevrolet dealer to confirm compatibility with your engine choice and trim level.
Towing capacity and practical notes
Even with the Trailering Package, the Trailblazer’s towing capacity depends on the engine, drivetrain, and other equipment. Use the correct hitch and wiring, respect payload and tongue weight limits, and follow the towing guidelines in the owner’s manual. If you tow regularly, verify the maximum rating for your exact configuration and ensure your setup complies with safety requirements.
Summary: The Chevy Trailblazer can be equipped with a factory Trailering Package on select trims, enabling towing when properly configured. Availability varies by model year and trim; always verify with the dealer and consult the official specs for your exact build.
