Colorado

If there’s one thing Chevy owners in and around Metairie and Harvey love about their trucks, it’s the famous Chevy towing capacity. The 2020 Chevy Colorado is no exception. This truck has three engine options, depending on what your towing needs are. The friendly folks at Leson Chevrolet can walk you through each of those options. But in the meantime, let’s take a look at the Chevy Colorado towing capacity for each engine size.

2.5L 4-Cylinder (Standard)

With 191 lb-ft of torque, even the 4-cylinder engine has enough power to tow a fishing boat. If you’re more concerned about fuel economy (without getting a diesel engine), and don’t have to tow heavier loads than a boat and trailer, then this may be the option for you. Here are the specs:
  • 200 horsepower
  • 191 lb-ft of torque
  • 3,500-pound towing Chevy Colorado capability
  • 20 mpg city/26 highway

3.6L DOHC V6 (Available)

Just one step up in engine size doubles the towing capacity of the new Chevy Colorado. Towing capacity isn’t the only significant improvement. There’s also a big difference in horsepower between the 4-cylinder and V6 engines. Here are the specs:
  • Best-in-class 308 horsepower
  • 275 lb-ft of torque
  • Up to 7,000-pound Chevy Colorado towing capability
  • 18 mpg city/25 highway
Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel (Available)
This engine is the monster of the three options, with 369 lb-ft of torque. This diesel engine increases the Chevy Colorado towing capacity to a maximum of 7,700 pounds without sacrificing fuel economy. So if you need to tow a big camper, this might be the option for you. Here are the specs:
  • 369 lb-ft of torque
  • 7,700-pound Chevy Colorado towing capability
  • Best-in-class 30 mpg highway
