When it comes to the 2023 Chevy Colorado towing capacity, the range for the all-new 2.7L turbo engine matches the power for 2022 models, which is a promising start! Find out more below.

- 2.7L Turbo: Up to 3,500 pounds
- 2.7L Turbo Plus: Up to 7,700 pounds
- 2.7L Turbo High-Output: Up to 7,700 pounds
If you think these numbers look awfully familiar, it’s because they are! The Chevy Colorado towing power with the new engine matches the power that’s offered in the 2022 engine options as you can see below:

How Does the 2.7L Turbo Engine Compare to Current Options?

For example, the new base 2.7L Turbo engine offers 18% more horsepower and 36% more torque than the current Colorado’s base engine.
Not to mention, the higher-output versions of the 2.7L engine chunk out more horsepower and torque than the current model’s available 3.6L V-6 and 2.8L turbo-diesel engines. Compare the specs yourself here:
