2020 Chevy Colorado Towing by Engine

Your Chevy Colorado towing specs will depend on your trim and engine, but no matter what model you choose, you can expect heavy-duty power on the road. Here’s a brief breakdown of the different options:

• 3.6L V6: The optional 3.6L V6 engine also has a 3,500-pound capacity, but when you add the available towing package, you’ll increase that number to 7,000 pounds.
