  • I used to tow my Jayco 17Z with a 2006 Colorado, but I had the 3.5 Vortec (4000-5000 capacity depending on the year)

    I didn't have any trouble pulling the trailer and didn't have any sway issues. Tractor trailers passing me pulled the camper much more than my bigger truck though.

    I seem to remember the Colorado/Canyon V8 having a 6000 lb towing capacity. I think weight wise your within limits, but Based on me towing with the Colorado, I wouldn't have been comfortable towing more than the 17Z that I towed due to the light weight of the truck itself.
