Best Trucks for Towing and Hauling in Nova Scotia
If you live in Nova Scotia, chances are your vehicle does more than just daily commuting. Whether you’re hauling gear to your cottage, towing a camper through Cape Breton, or handling worksite loads, you need a truck that’s built to perform. At O'Regans Chevrolet in Halifax, NS, we carry a lineup of Chevrolet and GMC trucks that are more than ready for the task. Here’s a closer look at the best options available for towing and hauling in Nova Scotia, and why they’re trusted by drivers across the province.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Everyday Strength with Impressive Capability
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a reliable all-around workhorse that blends everyday usability with serious strength. With several available engines, including the 5.3-litre V8 and the 6.2-litre V8, the Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 lbs when properly equipped. That’s more than enough to pull a mid-size camper or a trailer loaded with supplies.
Its available advanced trailering system includes in-vehicle trailering profiles, pre-departure checklists, and trailer tire pressure monitoring, which makes towing easier even if you’re newer to the process. If you need a capable truck that’s just as comfortable running errands in Halifax as it is heading out on a weekend adventure, the Silverado 1500 is a great choice.
GMC Sierra 1500: Smart Towing Meets Luxury Touches
If you're after rugged performance with a touch of refinement, the GMC Sierra 1500 delivers. Under the hood, you can choose the available 6.2-litre V8, which gives the Sierra 1500 a towing capacity of up to 13,300 lbs, matching its Silverado sibling.
But what really sets it apart is the available ProGrade™ Trailering System, which includes a trailer light sequence, maintenance reminders, and a suite of up to 14 camera views for confident towing. Inside, premium materials and advanced tech, like the available 13.4-inch infotainment screen, make every ride, workday or weekend, a comfortable one.
Chevrolet Silverado HD (2500 & 3500): Heavy-Duty Muscle
When the job gets bigger, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD step up. These heavy-duty trucks are designed for maximum strength, with available Duramax® 6.6-litre Turbo-Diesel V8 engines delivering up to 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque.
The 2500 HD can handle a max towing capacity of up to 22,070 lbs, while the 3500 HD with a gooseneck hitch pushes that number up to a staggering 36,000 lbs. This is the kind of pulling power Nova Scotia’s farmers, contractors, and trailer haulers depend on every day.
GMC Sierra HD (2500 & 3500): Built for Nova Scotia's Biggest Loads
Need the ultimate hauling capability? Look no further than the GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD. These tough trucks share the same powerful engine options and towing ratings as their Silverado counterparts, with the 6.6-litre Duramax Diesel offering top-tier pulling strength.
On the Sierra 3500 HD, the gooseneck towing maxes out at 36,000 lbs, making it an excellent choice for hauling large boats, heavy trailers, or commercial equipment. Available features like the Transparent Trailer View and Trailer Length Indicator give you next-level visibility and control, even with the heaviest of loads.
