Based on the various manufacturer's ratings, the Colorado/Canyon diesel should tow a 5k-6k TT comfortably. Yes, this diesel is a bit lacking in raw HP (181 @ 3.4k), but it makes up for it with 369 lb. ft. of torque at 2k. As for towing stability, the Colorado/Canyon is similar in weight to Ford's 1/2-ton aluminum F150 (slightly less than 5k) . . . so my guess there shouldn't be any stability issues.
IMO, the real issue in many of these discussions is the realworld weight (both pin and tow) of any given TT. Many of these discussions are based on the weight of an empty, bare-bones, low-ball, option-free, TT. Not the kind of weight figure I'd want to base a sizable monetary purchase, or my family's safety, on.
