Sitting just below the full-size Silverado in Chevrolet’s pickup truck lineup, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado features a remarkable list of strong points. These include a 7,700-lb towing capacity, best-in-class tailgate functionality, and unmatched off-road capabilities.
3 Strong Points of the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado
Impressive Towing Capacity
When equipped with the available Advanced Trailering Package, the Chevrolet Colorado tows an impressive 7,700 lbs. Its muscle comes from a 2.7L TurboMax inline-4, which kicks out 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
The engine’s diesel-like low-end torque makes handling heavy loads feel effortless, and the large charge air cooler ensures that towing capability remains consistent during the warmer months. To reduce shift cycling when pulling a load, the standard 8-speed automatic transmission features a special Tow/Haul mode.
Versatile Bed and Tailgate
You can haul up to 41.9 cubic feet of cargo in the Colorado’s 61.7-inch-long bed, which means that you can easily fit building materials, weekend adventure essentials, or even a kayak. To help you secure the payload in place, the pickup truck’s bed offers 17 available tie-downs. You can upgrade the space with a bedliner and integral storage compartments, further boosting its versatility.
The Colorado comes with a remote-locking tailgate that is operated using the key fob. It can be locked in a middle setting to support loads of up to 500 lbs, allowing you to haul longer items like lumber or ladders. It also features a built-in measurement tool that improves everyday convenience and a 120-volt outlet that can power equipment. Upgrading to the available StowFlex tailgate adds an integrated storage compartment to the tailgate, allowing you to securely stow away tools.
Unmatched Off-Road Capability
Three off-road trims are included in the Colorado lineup to meet the demands of trail riders and 4×4 enthusiasts. For casually traversing rugged terrain, the Trail Boss and Z71 trims are the right choice. Both models come with 18-inch wheels, 32-inch all-terrain tires, and an off-road performance display. The Trail Boss also offers a 2-inch lift, a 2-speed auto transfer case, and a transfer case shield.
For more serious off-roading, the ZR2 trim offers 17-inch wheels, 33-inch mud terrain tires, high-performance suspension, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and a 3-inch lift. The base ZR2 can be upgraded to the ZR2 Bison Edition to maximize the pickup truck’s all-terrain capability. The Colorado ZR2 Bison comes with 5 boron steel skid plates protecting the underbody, 35-inch OD mud terrain tires, a best-in-class 12.2-inch ground clearance, a steel bumper with heavy-duty cast recovery points, and much more.
