In order to maximize your Chevy Colorado towing and payload capacity, you’ll have to choose certain Colorado trim configurations equipped with certain engines. The diesel-powered Colorado hauls the most. Meanwhile, the V6-powered model offers the highest available towing capacity:

• Colorado w/ Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel 4-Cylinder – The Duramax® diesel engine lends the Colorado a 5,000-pound towing capacity and a payload capacity of 2,181 pounds.
• Colorado w/ 2.5L 4-Cylinder – This Colorado engine allows for a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and a payload capacity of 1,716 pounds.
• Colorado w/ 3.6L V6 – Upgrade to a V6 engine with the Trailering Package to reach the peak 7,000-pound maximum towing capacity* and a payload capacity of 1,774 pounds. Don’t want the Trailering Package? The Colorado with this engine still can tow 3,500 pounds in that case.

Choosing the upscale and off-road-ready ZR2 trim will get you a maximum Colorado towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, meanwhile. That’s still more than enough power to tow a small boat or a couple of ATVs. Looking for greater than 7,000 pounds of towing power? No problem! Just upgrade to a Chevy Silverado 1500!
