To find the exact towing capacity for your specific 1997 Chevy Tahoe, you should:
* Check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker usually lists the vehicle's specifications, including the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and the towing capacity.
* Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual will definitively state the towing capacity for your specific vehicle configuration.
* Check the VIN: Using your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), you can look up its specifications through the manufacturer's website or a third-party vehicle history report service. These services often list the original specifications and options.
Without this information, any number given would be an unreliable guess.
