Can you flat tow a Chevy Silverado?

I love my Chevy Silverado almost as much as I love my RV. I’d love to take my Silverado with me on my next road trip, and I know that my RV has enough power to get the job done. However, I’m not sure if I can flat tow it or if I need a trailer. Can I flat tow my Silverado?

Whether you can flat tow your Chevy Silverado depends on a few factors. If you have a four-wheel-drive Chevy Silverado with a two-speed transfer case, you can definitely tow your Silverado, regardless of the trim or model year.
However, you cannot tow your Silverado if it’s a two-wheel-drive or if it has a single-speed transfer case. You can tell if your Silverado is four-wheel drive by the emblems on the rear tailgate or graphics near the rear fender.
If you’re unsure about the transfer case, look for 4-LO and 4-HI settings on your four-wheel drive stick. If you don’t have them, you have a single-speed transfer case and cannot tow your truck. In this case, you’ll need a flatbed trailer to tow your truck.
If you want to save money for a flatbed trailer or just get some extra scratch for your vacation, cutting your
