Explore the dynamic performance of the new Chevrolet Colorado in our comprehensive acceleration test, both with and without a trailer! The cutting-edge 2.7L Turbo Plus engine commands attention, delivering an impressive 310 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque-a remarkable feat for a compact 4-cylinder. With a maximum trailering capacity of 7,700 lbs, this powerhouse sets a new standard in its class.
We conducted our test using an "empty" Ideal cargo trailer weighing approximately 2400 lbs. The trailer was equipped with a custom interior and various options, as highlighted in our detailed review. To achieve optimal performance during towing, it is recommended to activate the Tow/Haul mode. This mode optimizes transmission shift points, throttle response, and incorporates additional calibrations specifically designed for trailering and hauling purposes.
Highlighting advancements, the 2.7L turbo engine surpasses its predecessors, boasting 18% more horsepower and a substantial 36% increase in torque compared to the current base engine. Moreover, the high-output variants of the 2.7L engine outshine the available 3.6L V-6 and 2.8L turbo-diesel engines in both horsepower and torque, showcasing a leap forward in power and efficiency. Elevate your driving experience with the superior performance of the Chevrolet Colorado's innovative engine technology.
