So I for the life of me cant find the max towing weight/capacity for my dads truck

Its a 2012 Chevy Colorado Z71

Would this be able to tow a 98 Saturn Sl2?

My car weighs with all my shit that ill be moving, just around 2300-2400 pounds

would this be a problem?

We would be using one of the FWD Uhaul Trailers to carry it.

Edit: just called him and he said his truck is the 3.7L 5cyl

It depends on which engine it has. The towing capacity varies from 1900lbs to 6000lbs. If you aren't climbing any mountains and you take it easy it will be fine.

yeah i edited right before you posted so you may not have seen it

Its the 3.7L 5cyl

I know the Vortec V8 is the 6000 weight limit.

And I think we'll be crossing at most 2 or 3 mountain passes since its going from Colorado to Washington

He called Uhaul and they said hes approved for up to 3500Lbs, but i couldnt find any of that info online lol

ur pushin it.....


who the fuck buys a fullsize truck with anything less then a v8 (unless diesel)


and I had no idea they even offered a 5 cyl in a full size truck LOL

His exact truck, except his is black lol

its a mid size truck, not a fullsize lol

towing with a v6 through mountains is gonna be rough, idk if i would do it, unless i had a tranny cooler on the truck i wouldnt not attempt it

we can always bypass the mountains lol

edit: i mean obviously we have to go through the rockies, but we can avoid the cascades

no way in hell i would try it though the mountains lol, you would be at the limit pulling it but it should make it

Uhaul said hes okay for up to 3500 pounds

and with all my if any going in the car, maybe just my tv, its going to be ~2300ish

You should be fine, just take it easy. Most of the mid size trucks are geared for towing anyways.
