2007 Chevrolet Avalanche
The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche is 8,200 lb, the top of 6 rows transcribed from Chevrolet’s 2007 Trailering with Chevrolet Trucks. That row is printed for the 6.0L V8 (L76/LY6), 2WD, 4.10 axle. Most configurations are rated lower: 5 of the 6 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2007 are below 8,200 lb. Across 6 manufacturer chart rows for 2007, ratings run conventional 7,000 lb to 8,200 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.
The build table for 2007 is not transcribed. This page will not multiply trims, cabs, and engines into trucks the order guide did not list.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 8,200 lb conventional maximum is 820 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

2007 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 6 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
| Engine | Conventional | Chart rows |
|---|---|---|
| 6.0L V8 (L76/LY6) | 7,800–8,200 lb | 2 |
| 5.3L V8 (LY5/LMG) | 7,200–8,000 lb | 2 |

- Did Avalanche towing change for 2007?
- Compare the cited 2007 figures on this page with the 2006 record. They are stored separately.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 8,200 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 6.0L V8 (L76/LY6), 2WD, 4.10 axle.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2007 Avalanche?
- At the cited 8,200 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 820 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
