Towing with a Colorado or Canyon

rangerhgm · June 29, 2015

I currently have the truck in my sig and tow a bassboat (approx 3000 - 3500lbs).

I'm considering a new Colorado or Canyon (preferably Canyon) with 3.6 engine, but am concerned about towing the boat.....too much boat for not enough truck? I know they are rated to be able to tow more than that, but I'd like some real world insight.

Anyone towing a rather heavy boat with one? Any problems/concerns?

2019 Colorado Z71 4X4 long bed Duramax tow a 4000lb travel trailer with no trouble up or down hills. My only concern is towing up the grapevine during summer my trans heats up to 230 degrees.
