Reviewing the 2021 Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity

The new Chevy Colorado might be listed as a midsize pickup, but it’s no exaggeration in saying that it can handle anything you throw at it, whether on the job site or out playing around Bakersfield. The Chevy Colorado towing tops 7,700 pounds, meaning it can pull plenty, and drivers who select this powerhouse of a truck will be able to power through all sorts of hazards and adventures.

Differences in Chevy Colorado Towing by Configuration

In order to reach the maximum of the Chevy towing capacity, you’ll need to make sure you have all the right equipment, but each trim is capable of putting out respectable numbers on its own. Here’s what you can expect when you select a model and engine type: 

• Colorado w/ 2.5L 4-Cylinder – The baseline Colorado engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Colorado w/ 3.6L V6 – Upgrade to a V6 engine without the Trailering Package, this engine tows 3,500 pounds. However, with the Trailering Package, it can reach a 7,000-pound maximum towing capacity. 
• Colorado w/ Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel 4-Cylinder – Equip your truck with the Duramax® diesel engine to reach the maximum Chevy towing capacity. All models so outfitted can tow up to 7,700 pounds!

Porterville drivers who opt for the Colorado ZR2 trim will have their Chevy Colorado towing capacity maxed at 5,000 pounds. That’s still more than enough power to bring a couple of ATVs out on the weekend getaway or to take a small boat out on the water, with the additional off-road capabilities of the trim.
