Truck shoppers looking for a model with serious towing and hauling chops turn to the Chevrolet lineup before all others. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is one of the most popular trucks on the market, and with its impressive engine selection, customization options, and technology, it’s easy to see why. Its little brother, the 2024 Chevy Colorado, isn’t far behind with a midsize body that appeals to everyday drivers and light-duty tradesmen alike. The Silverado HD models, on the other hand, are made for tackling tough jobs. If you’re eyeing one of these mighty trucks with the intent of taking full advantage of their incredible towing capabilities, consider equipping your new Chevy with one of the brand’s trailering packages detailed below.
For the 2024 model year, the Chevrolet Colorado claims the top spot among mid-size pickup trucks, out-towing all but its corporate cousin the GMC Canyon. They both have a max-towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The Chevrolet Advanced Trailering Package can help you make the most out of the Canyon’s abilities. The package includes:
