How much can a Colorado tow?
I want to buy a pickup, but I don’t need a gargantuan one. The Chevy Colorado looks like a great option for me, but I want to make sure it can tow to my liking. What’s the towing capacity of a Colorado?

If you want a light-duty truck that doesn’t skimp on power, the
Chevy Colorado
is an amazing option. Depending on the engine, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds—which is ideal for trailers, boats, or even campers.As mentioned, your total towing capacity will depend on your engine choice. Here are your options:
- 200-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine: 3,500 pounds of towing capacity
- 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6: 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, 7,000 pounds of towing capacity when equipped with the Trailering Package
- 181-horsepower DuraMax 2.8-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine: 7,700 pounds of towing capacity
Despite the smaller size of the DuraMax, it’s diesel-powered. Diesel fuel burns more efficiently, providing more torque than gas-powered engines and increasing your overall towing capacity.
After taking a few minutes to find out how much the Colorado can tow, why not take a few extra minutes to save on your car insurance policy with the
