The 2025 Chevy Equinox offers an impressive engine that can power it efficiently and powerfully. When properly equipped, the 2025 Chevy Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds of trailer weight.
With nearly one ton of capability at your fingertips, you’ll be able to move all kinds of things with your Chevy Equinox. Some of the things you’ll be able to pull with the Equinox include:
- Large Toys: Transfer the jet skis, snowmobiles, ATVs, or dirt bikes out for a day of fresh air and adrenaline with the help of a utility trailer.
- Camping Gear: Hitch the family pop-up camper or fishing boat and head out for a weekend in nature. You’ll also be able to pack extra essentials, like the camp stove and tents, inside the cabin.
- Project Supplies: Thinking of revamping your home or your landscaping? Hook up a flatbed utility trailer to the Equinox and load it with fresh mulch, new furniture, or tile for your next home improvement project.
- Boxes: When it’s time to send your teen off to college or you’re ready to move on to your next home, the Equinox is here to help. Use a lightweight cargo trailer to pack up your things, like boxes, small furniture, and more.
- Other Vehicles: Help a friend with a smaller vehicle in need by towing their vehicle to the shop for them. You can also hitch up a box trailer and easily transport your vintage car to your next car show.
As long as you have the right equipment to secure these types of cargo items, the Equinox can do its part in pulling them along.
In order to help you haul all that weight behind you, this vehicle is equipped with a standard 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine. You can expect this engine to achieve up to 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you’ll have a smooth ride every time you hit the gas.
To achieve all that power, this powertrain utilizes turbocharging, which feeds the engine condensed air that helps it make the most of its power. The result is a compact and lightweight engine that’s still able to pack quite a punch.
Then, to help properly manage your engine’s power, you’ll have an 8-speed automatic transmission when configured with the available AWD system. This feature is designed to provide smooth shifting and also to help you keep a steady speed on the highway when you’re towing.
Ramp up the capability in the 2025 Chevy Equinox even more with various driving modes. Using the rotator on the center console, you can enjoy the best of both worlds of all-wheel capabilities with the efficiency of front-wheel drive.
When you’re towing or venturing off the pavement into mud, snow, or dirt, switch into the Off-Road or Snow mode. At this time, the system will monitor your driving conditions and automatically adjust the torque distribution to give you the best grip possible.
When you’re cruising down the highway to work or through the city running errands, switch into Normal mode. This system focuses on maximizing your fuel economy by engaging just the front two wheels.
Another helpful feature too when towing is the HD Surround View. This camera will give you an aerial view of your vehicle, which can make it easy for you to back whatever you are towing safely into your driveway or parking space.
On top of everything that you can move behind the 2025 Chevy Equinox, you’ll also be able to haul all kinds of cargo inside the cabin. The Equinox offers an expansive amount of cargo space starting with 29.8 cubic feet with all five seats upright and in place.
Without folding down any of the rear seats, you’ll be able to pack in a huge haul of groceries, athletic equipment, suitcases, or a weekend’s worth of camping gear.
Fold down the rear three seats and unleash the full potential of the Equinox. With all three rear seats folded down, this model has 63.5 cubic feet of cargo space to offer. That’s more than enough space for boxes for moving, medium-sized furniture, and more.
Keep all of your cargo stationary and organized no matter how bumpy the road under you is with various cargo organization features offered by the Equinox. The hidden rear cargo floor storage space lets you keep essentials in your car out of sight and without taking up room for your passengers to enjoy.
Additionally, you can haul cargo on the roof of the Chevy Equinox with the roof rails. Secure a cargo bin to it in order to carry suitcases or strap your ski gear right to the rack when you head into the mountains for a day on the slopes.
As you can see, the 2025 Chevy Equinox is more than capable of helping you move all kinds of cargo, including big, motorized toys, furniture, boxes for moving, and a variety of supplies for your next home improvement project.
