Can you flat tow a 2021 Chevy Colorado 4x4?

I’m itching to take my Colorado 4x4 on some off-road tracks. The only problem is that my favorite tracks are a few hundred miles from my home. I’d prefer to tow the truck with my RV so I can camp. Is it possible to flat tow a 2021 Chevy Colorado 4x4?

According to the owner’s manual, you can flat tow a 2021 Chevy Colorado 4x4. While you should never flat tow a two-wheel-drive Colorado, the 4WD is equipped with the correct platform that makes flat towing a breeze.
Here’s how to do it:
  1. Position the vehicle being towed behind the tow vehicle. Make sure it’s facing forward and on a level surface.
  2. Connect the Colorado to the towing vehicle.
  3. Apply the parking brake and start the engine.
  4. Shift the gear to neutral, then turn the engine off.
  5. With the engine off, leave the key in ACC mode to prevent the steering column from locking.
  6. Next, disconnect the negative battery cable.
  7. Shift the truck into park.
  8. With your foot on the brake pedal, release the parking brake.
  9. Keep the ignition key in to prevent the steering column from locking.
