What is The 2023 Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity?

Although it’s a midsize truck, the 2023 Chevy Colorado boasts impressive towing capabilities. In fact, the Chevy Colorado towing capacity reaches up to 7,700 pounds with the right equipment. That’s enough towing power to haul a small camper, a boat, motorcycles, and more in the Matthews area. Read on to learn more about the new Chevy Colorado towing capacity and its tow-ready features from Hendrick Chevrolet Monroe.

2022 Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity & Payload Capacity 

The Chevy Colorado towing capacity reaches up to 7,700 pounds, depending on the configuration. Unlike the 2022 model, the 2023 Chevy Colorado is available with a single turbocharged 2.7L inline-four. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect, based on your engine choice: 

Colorado WT and LT Trim Levels

• Standard 2.7L turbo engine rated at 237 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque
• Available 2.7L turbo engine rated at 310 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque 
• Standard 8-speed automatic transmission 

Colorado Trail Boss and Z71 (AWD Only) 

• Standard 2.7L turbo engine with 310 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque 
• Standard 8-speed automatic transmission 

Colorado ZR2 (4WD Only) 

• Standard 2.7L turbo High-Output engine rated at 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque 
• Standard 8-speed automatic transmission 

The towing rating for the base engine is 3,500 pounds, but as you move up the lineup, you’ll gain access to a more powerful version of the 2.7L engine. 

The maximum towing capacity from the engines that come standard with the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 is 7,700 pounds — which is a considerable feat for a midsize truck. What’s more, that’s about 700 pounds more than the previous model year’s V6 engine could handle. At the same time, the Chevy Colorado payload capacity ranges from 1,310 to 1,610 pounds, giving Waxhaw drivers the ability to haul with ease.
