Who is towing with a Chevy Colorado?
I have a friend considering a TT and wants to know about towing with his Chevy Colorado. His truck has the tow package with the bigger engine (not diesel). Thanks, TD

From 2016 to 2019 my GMC Canyon (see my sig below) was able to pull my 7K TT up a long 7% grade at 70+ MPH in cruse control. In 2019/2020 GMC remapped the computer so now I pull the 7K TT up a 7% grade at only 60 MPH with cruse control failure. (I need a better fuel map). Most loaded semi's will be doing only 35 MPH on a 7% grade. I still can do 8% grade at 40 MPH (loaded commercial trucks are normally detoured around roads having an 8% grade). The posted speed limit on 8% roads is usually about 35 MPH or less.
Yes, I still recommend a GMC Canyon/Chey Colorado WITH TOW/HAUL enabled for pulling 7K TT on mountain roads. It does a great job (70-80 MPH) pulling on flat roads and has enough weight and wheel base to handle cross winds with a WDH.
