Crucial Towing Tips For the Chevrolet Colorado
Models equipped with the 2.7L Turbo High-Output or the older Duramax Diesel V6 reach the maximum 7,700 lb capacity; standard models are capped lower.
Utilize the built-in Tow/Haul mode to adjust transmission shift points and prevent shifting hunting on inclines.
Install a weight distribution hitch with sway control for trailers over 4,000 lbs to keep steering tires planted.
Verify rear leaf spring condition; mid-size trucks will sag significantly under heavy tongue loads unless helper springs are installed.
