How Much Can the 2021 Chevy Equinox Tow?

If you’re interested in a new SUV, you are probably thinking about things like space, comfort, and drivability. Towing, however, may not have crossed your mind. But some SUVs – even some crossovers – have exceptional tow ratings. In fact, the Chevy Equinox

towing capacity is probably a lot higher than you realize.

How Much Can the Chevy Equinox Tow?

Though it will never be confused for the Chevy Silverado 1500, the Chevy Equinox has good towing ability. When properly equipped, you will be able to tow up to 3,500 pounds. This will allow you to tow a trailer or a small camper.

Other Things to Love About the Chevy Equinox

Great Power and Fuel Economy

The Chevy Equinox has a 1.5-liter engine that generates 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The other option is a turbocharged 2.0-liter configuration that produces 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, combined with a 9-speed automatic transmission. For its class, the Chevy Equinox gets very good gas mileage: 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

Tons of Space

Up to five people can enjoy the Chevy Equinox, and both rows offer ample head- and legroom. This is why it’s such a good family vehicle.

You’ll have lots of room for cargo, too: 63.9 cubic feet when the rear row is down. With that row up, you’ll get 29.9 cubic feet behind it. You can also opt for a power liftgate or a hands-free liftgate.
