The information you seek is in the recreational towing section of the owner's manual for the 2011 Chevy Silverado:
Use the following procedure to dinghy tow a four-wheel drive vehicle:
1. Position the vehicle being towed behind the tow vehicle and shift the transmission to P (Park).
2. Turn the engine off and firmly set the parking brake. See “Parking Brake” in the owner manual.
3. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle.
4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). For more information on “Shifting into N (Neutral)”, see
“Four Wheel Drive” in the owner manual.
5. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the towing vehicle.
6. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF and remove the key — the steering wheel will still turn.
Consult your manual to confirm this procedure.
