What is the Diesel Chevrolet Colorado’s Towing Capacity?
So my stubborn friend’s ‘99 Ford F-250 is stuck in a ditch. Being the good friend I am, I offered him my diesel Chevrolet Colorado to tow it out, but he laughed in my face, saying it’s not powerful enough! So tell me Jerry—what’s my diesel Colorado’s towing capacity?

Well, good friend (and you are a good friend), your diesel Chevrolet Colorado is more than capable of towing your pal’s ‘99 F-250 out of that ditch—the diesel Colorado has a max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds with the Trailering Equipment Package, significantly more than the ‘99 F-250’s roughly 6,800-pound curb weight.
Granted, even if you had stepped down a notch in towing capacity by going with the V6 Colorado, you’d still be able to pull that old F-250 out of harm’s way, with the Colorado V6 having a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds.
Now, if you happened to be in the unfortunate position of owning the base 4-cylinder Colorado, your friend would have permission to mock you mercilessly—the base Colorado has a towing capacity of just 3,500 pounds.
But being the diesel-fiend you are, you are more than welcome to puff out that chest of yours when you roll up to your friend and their ditched F-250, waving your mobile phone with this piece of Jerry-sanctioned diesel Colorado towing capacity information displayed prominently on the screen. Who’s laughing now—amiright?!
Of course, we here at Jerry recommend always treating your friends with respect, even if they have no clue about the Chevrolet Colorado’s towing capacity (amateurs). Just make sure that you protect your Colorado with a robust
