How much does a Chevrolet Colorado weigh?

I recently got a flat tire on my Chevrolet Colorado and I need to change it. I have an old jack from a different vehicle that supports up to three tons – how much does a Chevy Colorado weigh and will my jack support it?

typically weigh between 3,950 and 4,730 pounds. So in this case, the three-ton jack you have won’t support the weight of your vehicle.
Before you try to perform any maintenance on your truck yourself, keep these things in mind:
  • Check your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s exact weight and specifications
  • Check and see if your vehicle came with a jack and spare tire – the jack from the manufacturer would be guaranteed to hold the weight of your truck
  • If your tire isn’t severely damaged, try a tire service kit to patch any leaks long enough to get your truck to a mechanic
