2026 Chevrolet Colorado towing a boat

Towing well takes more than raw horsepower, and the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado backs up its capability with the trailering hardware and onboard tech to use it confidently. From the engine underneath the hood to the cameras that guide a hitch into place, every part of the towing experience works together. Here’s what the team at Moran Chevrolet Fort Gratiot wants shoppers to know.

Towing Capacity by Trim

Equipped with the available Advanced Trailering Package, the Chevrolet Colorado WT, LT, Trail Boss, and Z71 trims are rated to tow up to 7,700 lbs. The off-road-focused ZR2 trim comes in at 6,000 lbs given its unique suspension, and max payload reaches up to 2,046 lbs on 4WD WT models. Those capacities give you plenty of capability for boats, campers, and work equipment.

Physical Towing Hardware

A 7-wire electrical harness and 7-pin sealed connector come standard for trailer lights and brakes, and the Advanced Trailering Package adds an automatic locking rear differential for extra traction. The bed includes up to 17 tie-downs, and the available StowFlex™ tailgate has a mid-position rated for 500-lbs of longer cargo.

Trailering Technology

Hitch Guidance with Hitch View provides a dynamic guideline and close-up camera feed for solo hitching, while the available In-Vehicle Trailering App® lets drivers build custom trailer profiles and pre-departure checklists. An integrated trailer brake controller, Trailer Sway Control, and available underbody cameras round out the package.
