The Colorado has a decent motor. It is a version of the VM Motori A428. My liberty has the VM Motori R428 motor, and pulled a full profile HTT without major issues, including 3500 miles in 2 weeks this summer.
I will throw out the Ram 1500 EcoD and V6 Pentastar motors. The Ram rides great (even better with air ride). The Pentastar is a decent motor, and should do fine with a trailmanor. The EcoD will do better, but more expensive. Some will argue about the payload. Towing my HTT, full load of people, and stuff from the bed that use to be in the camper with the liberty, I am probably over payload. But, I am waiting to hear someone say that it is more safe for me to tow with the Jeep at GVW than with the Ram slightly over GVW.
