Two engines are available, starting with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque.

The Colorado is one of the most comfortable trucks on the market, no matter how rough the pavement is. It’s maneuverable in parking lots and busy city streets alike. Off-road, the Colorado can tackle unforgiving terrain, especially with enhancements like front and rear differentials, a heavy-duty suspension, and hill descent control. Several off-road packages are available, including the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison.

    Colorado Towing Capacity

    The Colorado can tow up to 7,000 pounds with the V6 engine and up to 7,700 pounds with the diesel engine and the Trailering Equipment package. With the four-cylinder engine, the Colorado can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Dependent on the configuration, the Colorado can haul up to 1,550 pounds.

    A trailer sway control feature is standard for more confidence and security while towing. This feature applies the truck and trailer brakes if the system detects swaying, which helps you keep control of your outfit and lowers the risk of rollover.
