I am considering a Colorado as a possibility when i replace my older truck. My question is can the long bed Colorado handle an yard of mulch?

How much is a cubic yard?

 

One cubic yard is a three dimensional cube that measures 3 feet long and 3 feet tall

 

How much does a yard of product weigh?

 

Weights for products will vary due to moisture content. Typically, mulch products weigh between 400-800 lbs. per cubic yard; Compost weighs between 1000 – 1600 lbs and soil blends weigh between 2200-2700 lbs.

 

 

Payload of a Colorado. Depending on the cab and drivetrain, most of the Colorado configurations run a payload between 1350lbs, and 1600lbs. So, can it handle 1 yard in the bed? I'd say so.
