Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity

The 2022 Chevy Colorado’s towing capacity ranges from 3,500 pounds to 7,700 pounds, depending on your choice of engine and configuration. Even if you stick with the base-level model, you’ll have more than enough power to tow a small pop-up camper or a lightweight fishing boat—and moving down the lineup will give you the ability to handle a lot more weight. If you’re ready to learn more about one of the most capable pickups in the midsize segment, we’ve got you covered!

Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity by Configuration

As with most pickups, maximum Chevy towing capacity depends on the trim level you choose. You’ll also need to equip yours with the right towing-specific accessories to make the most of that raw Chevy Colorado towing power. Here’s what to keep in mind as you explore the Chevy Colorado towing capacity by trim:

• Colorado w/ 2.5L 4-Cylinder – Models with the base 2.5L 4-Cylinder engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Colorado w/ 3.6L V6 – Opt for the V6 engine upgrade plus the Trailering Package to reach a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. Without the Trailering Package, this engine also tows 3,500 pounds.
• Colorado w/ Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel 4-Cylinder – To reach the maximum 7,700-pound Colorado towing capacity, equip your truck with the Duramax® diesel engine.

If your trim of choice is the luxurious and off-road-ready Colorado ZR2, Chevy towing capacity will hit a ceiling at 5,000 pounds. That’s plenty for most drivers, and easily enough to tow a small boat or RV trailer out to Williamstown.

Still, some drivers may be looking for a higher Chevy towing capacity to pair with off-road capabilities. If that’s you, learn more about the Chevy Silverado 1500!

• With the 2.5-Liter 4-Cylinder engine that comes standard. You can always tow up to 3,500 pounds, regardless of whether or not you add other packages.
• The available 3.6-Liter V6 delivers the same 3,500-pound maximum unless you choose to upgrade with the towing package. In that event, your towing capacity will double to 7,000 pounds.
• The real star of this show is the Duramax® 2.8-Liter Turbo-Diesel, which can tow up to 7,700 pounds with 4×2, or 7,600 pounds with 4×4.
• If you’re looking for a model that’s perfectly-suited to off-road performance, choose the luxurious Colorado ZR2. Its towing capacity is topped at 5,000 pounds, which is still more than enough for a lot of outdoor gear.
