The Chevrolet Colorado has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped – which is perfect for hauling trailers, small boats, and campers. It’s one of the highest performing models in the mid-sized truck segment, and is known for its impressive design. It can also haul up to 1,680 pounds in the cargo bed, to transport furniture, lumber, and construction materials.
The maximum towing capacity of the Colorado depends on the engine and which trim level is selected. The 2024 Chevy Colorado offers the 2.7-liter Turbo engine and the 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, both of which are turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The WT and LT trim levels come with the base engine (237 hp) and have rear-wheel drive. The other trim options use the 2.7-liter TurboMax engine (310 hp) and have four-wheel drive. It is important to keep this in mind because it does affect the towing capacity.
Discover the differences between the available trim levels:
Trim Levels and their Towing Capacities
Trail Boss and Z71: Maximum of 7,700 pounds
ZR2: Maximum of 6,000 pounds
ZR2 Bison: Maximum of 5,500 pounds
WT (Work Truck) and LT: Maximum of 3,500 pounds
Even the trim levels with lower towing capacities of 3,500 pounds, can get most jobs done by pulling fishing boats, pop-up camping trailers, and more.
