2023 Chevy Colorado truck lineup
 

For the 2023 model year, the Chevrolet Colorado is getting quite a significant transformation from enhanced performance to safety and interior features. While not every detail has been released about this midsize pickup, you might be wondering if you can still count on this model to haul for your adventures outside of Tri-Cities. 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.

 

2023 Chevy Colorado Towing Power: New 2.7L Turbo Engine

Chevy towing capacity for the trucks is not to be taken lightly, and that’s exactly what the all-new 2.7L turbo engine reassures Spokane Valley drivers about. As of now, only towing power regarding this engine option is released. When equipped with this new engine, the 2023 Colorado delivers these maximum trailering capacities: 

  • 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: 

Standard 2.5L 4-Cylinder

  • 3,500-Pound Towing Capacity on 2WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab
  • 3,500-Pound Towing Capacity on 4WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab

Available 3.6L DOHC V6 

  • 3,500-Pound Towing Capacity on 2WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab
  • 3,500-Pound Towing Capacity on 4WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab
  • 7,000-Pound Towing Capacity on 2WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab
  • 7,000-Pound Towing Capacity on 4WD w/ Extended Cab or Crew Cab

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

While the new engine option matches in towing power, this engine shines in terms of sheer power. The 2.7L turbo engine delivers more horsepower and torque than the previous three engines offered. 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: 

New 2.7L Turbo Engine (for 2023 Colorado) 

  • Base: 237 hp & 259 lb-ft of torque
  • Plus: 310 hp & 390 lb-ft of torque
  • High-Output: 310 hp & 430 lb-ft of torque
