Anyone towing with 2015 Colorado/Canyon?

[wincrasher65]

I know some are waiting for the diesel version - that won't be out until 2016 models are out.

But has anyone gotten the 2015 V6 gas version and towing a trailer with it? It's rated for 7,000 lbs, but we all know how that usually goes.

But for those that are, can you report on how well it tows, and what kind of MPG you are seeing? Also tell how heavy your trailer is.

Thanks!

Little Guy - T@b is developing a truck camper for the Colorado/Canyon, per this video (about 8 minutes in): Link

Be sure to let us know how it does towing and how you like it in general, please.

I'm impressed with that truck. I think it did well in that test.

Canyon towing. About all you can find for now.

Here is the brochure......HERE

It's got all the bells and whistles and then some. Very nice.
Towing is 7k.
But, more important is PAYLOAD. Depending on model you get either 1670 lbs. or 1428. Of course that's before you load it with passengers and gear...so check your trailer's loaded tongue weight.
