Can 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Diesel Tow 2021 Heartland Cyclone 4006
Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/07/2025
Question:
Can you help me figure this out? Can I tow a 2021 Heartland Cyclone 4006 with a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 6.6 diesel standard bed. Is the truck ok with the weight and pin weight? I also have the GM installed heavy duty front springs/camper package from the factory. What hitch would be best?

Hey Tim, yes that would work as the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 diesel has a towing capacity of 22,500 lbs and the most the 2021 Heartland Cyclone 4006 can weigh is 20k so you'd be totally fine. We definitely have some great hitch options but my favorite is the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3710 which is widely considered to be the best hitch around because of how well made it is, how easy it is to use and it's made in the USA.
