When properly equipped with its Duramax® 2.8-liter Turbo-Diesel Engine, a Chevy Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds, which is ideal for most utility trailers, small and midsize boats, ATVS and dirt bikes, and even most small to midsize camping trailers.

The Chevy Colorado features two cargo box options.

• A 61.7-inch short box
• A 74-inch long box

When properly equipped, the Chevy Colorado has a total cargo bed volume of nearly 50 cubic-feet, allowing it to handle payloads up to 1,574 pounds.
