Capability
The midsize Colorado has some serious towing power. When properly equipped and powered by the available, fuel-efficient Duramax 2.8-liter Turbo-Diesel engine, it can tow a maximum weight of 7,700 pounds and keep your journeys on track with an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of 30 mpg on the highway (a best-in-class stat) and 20 mpg in the city.
Powertrains
Other powertrains include the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped and powered by this engine, the Colorado can tow 3,500 pounds. The available 3.6-liter DOHC V6 returns a best-in-class horsepower rating of 308 and nets 275 lb-ft of torque. Properly equip a Colorado with the V6 to achieve 7,000 pounds of towing capability.
