The Heavyweight Hauler: Exploring the 2025 Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity and Engine Performance

The Chevy Colorado for 2025 arrived with new color choices, new standard packages, and a more powerful engine that’s sure to impress.

Originally thought to be a consolation prize for those who could not upgrade to a full-size pickup, the Colorado has proven that a smaller build doesn’t always mean less to offer.

In fact, choosing the new Chevy Colorado means opting for a best-in-class heavyweight hauler.

Power and Performance Built for Every Adventure

---

When you have peak performance capabilities delivered in a turbocharged powertrain, you only need one choice under the hood. Every Colorado model is powered by the turbocharged 2.7-liter High Output four-cylinder engine, which offers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.

Providing next-level performance and a near-instant turbo boost, this engine is as capable as it is intuitive–and that’s all thanks to the engineering prowess.

The symmetrical placement of the inline 4-cylinder, down to how the exhaust pulses are separated through the turbine, leaves you with a responsiveness and performance boost never before seen on a Chevy Colorado truck.

The Highest Towing Capacity in its Class

Competing in the same class as the Toyota Tacoma or the Jeep Gladiator is no easy feat. How do you stand out, let alone surpass, these heavyweight hitters?

Easy–by offering the highest towing capacity in the mid-size pickup segment.

The new 2025 Chevy Colorado for sale is capable of towing up to 7,700 pounds when equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package. This package includes a variety of features to make towing simple, including:

• A 2-inch receiver hitch with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors
• Integrated trailer brake controller
• In-vehicle trailering app
• Automatic locking rear differential

Breaking Down the Chevy Colorado Bed Dimensions

Whether you’re heading to the job site or the campgrounds, understanding the limitations of your towing capacity is only half the battle.

The other half? Understanding the limitations of your Colorado truck bed.

With the only configuration being a four-door crew cab, there’s a five-foot-long bed in each trim of the Chevy Colorado.

While that may not seem like much space to work with, the Colorado actually offers a best-in-class bed and tailgate functionality.

Thanks to its design, the tailgate is capable of supporting 500 pounds, offers up to 27 available tie-downs, and has an available StowFlex tailgate. Best-in-class, indeed.
