If your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 has the max towing package, 2 wheel drive, and a short bed the max fifth wheel towing capacity would be 11,600 lb. I would recommend confirming this with your owners manual or with you local Chevy dealer.

I attached a link to a page that will allow you to select your bed length and see all of the available options.
