Maximum towing capacity for the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado
Chevrolet’s own FAQ asks what the maximum Chevy Colorado towing capacity is. The answer is 7,700 lbs max available trailering weight. That is Chevy Colorado towing at the brochure ceiling. Properly equipped means the right hitch, cooling, axle, and trailer setup for that rating. A WT without the trailering hardware will not match the published Chevy Colorado towing capacity.
Engine specs
Every 2026 Chevy Colorado uses the 2.7L TurboMax I-4. Chevrolet lists 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. That is 430 lb-ft of torque on the published engine specs. Chevrolet says there is no V6 on this model year. The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado page does not list a diesel engine. If you want a diesel pickup truck, that is a different Chevrolet model, not this new Chevy Colorado.
Fuel: Regular unleaded, 87 octane minimum.
Unloaded weight: 4,340 to 5,260 lbs. Payload capacity is not published as a single number on the public FAQ we used. Read the door label for payload capacity on the VIN you buy.

Chevy Colorado towing package and hitch notes
People search Chevy Colorado towing package and trailering package as if every truck leaves the factory ready for 7,700 lbs. Chevrolet’s public number is “when properly equipped.” This page does not invent a Chevy Colorado towing package contents list. Ask the desk if the new Chevy Colorado you want has the trailering package sold on that VIN.
Receiver hitch: Confirm a receiver hitch is on the truck. A brochure max without a hitch is not towing power you can use today.
Lights: Trailer brake lamps and parking lamps need a working connector. Check the trailer’s lights in the lot before you leave.
How much weight: Weigh the trailer. Count passengers and cargo in the Chevy Colorado. Heavy loads in the bed cut what you can put on the hitch. Towing capability on paper is not a license to ignore payload.
What changes Chevy Colorado towing
People search year-by-year Colorado towing numbers. This guide stays on 2026 Chevy Colorado towing capacity from Chevrolet.com. Older Chevy Colorado trucks need the door-jamb label and owner’s manual for that VIN.
Equipment: Hitch class, transmission cooler, axle ratio, and trailer brakes change Colorado towing in the real world.
Drive modes: Chevrolet lists an available Tow/Haul mode that changes shift and throttle behavior. It does not raise the published maximum towing capacity.
Chevy Colorado models and Trail Boss
Chevy Colorado models on the lot can include work-oriented trucks and off-road trucks. Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 add lift, tires, and armor. Trail Boss can help on dirt. Lift and tires can cut payload or Chevy Colorado towing versus a work setup. Read the sticker on the Chevrolet Colorado you want. Do not copy one Trail Boss rating onto every Chevy Colorado.
Is this the right pickup truck?
The Chevrolet Colorado is Chevrolet’s midsize pickup truck. Chevy Colorado towing at 7,700 lbs max can cover a small camper, a utility trailer, or jet skis for weekend adventures if the VIN is rated for that weight. A job site trailer that sits over the max needs a different truck. If 7,700 lbs is not enough, step to Silverado 1500 or Silverado HD. Sheridan already has a live Silverado towing capacity page. Use Colorado vs Silverado when you are still choosing the right pickup truck.
