The Chevrolet Colorado is a midsize pickup truck that’s designed for every day of the week. It’s comfortable enough for the daily commute but also capable enough for weekend adventures and projects. Whether you are headed to the office, the hardware store, or an off-road trail, the Colorado offers a trim or configuration to suit your needs. The Colorado was redesigned for the 2023 model year, simplifying the body-style offerings to exclusively a quad-cab with a 5’2” bed. The V6 engine was swapped out for a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder powerplants. For the 2024 model year, GM has introduced the trail-ready ZR2 Bison trim.
The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado has a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, which is tied for the most capable in the midsize pickup truck segment with its corporate cousin, the GMC Canyon, as well as the rival Jeep Gladiator pickup. It excels past the Nissan Frontier (6,640 pounds) and the recently redesigned Toyota Tacoma (6,500 pounds). The new-for-2024 Ford Ranger performs nearly as well as the lead pack, with a max tow rating of 7,500 pounds. But not all versions of the Colorado achieve this tied-for-class-leading towing capacity.
