Chevy Colorado
The Chevy Colorado is a pickup that’s known for its hardworking attitude and the smooth, comfortable ride it offers. It’s got outstanding fuel economy and comes with an engine lineup that includes a 200 horsepower inline-four, a V-6 that puts out 308 horsepower, and a turbodiesel V-6 that offers 186 horsepower. The turbodiesel backs up its power with 369 pound-feet of torque, which contributes to solid towing ability. When properly equipped, it has a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.Chevy Silverado 1500
The Silverado 1500 is among the best in its class for performance among light-duty pickups. It’s in its second year after a full redesign and offers tons of powertrain options, bed and cabin configurations, and lots of comfort and convenience features. When properly equipped, the Chevy Silverado 1500 gives you 12,200 pounds of maximum towing capacity.Chevy Silverado 2500HD
Next up in Chevy’s lineup is the Silverado 2500HD. When properly equipped for towing, this is another near-best-in-class entry in the full-size, medium-duty pickup truck sector. With the right combination of trim level, powertrain, and towing package, the Silverado 2500HD is rated to tow up to 15,400 pounds of cargo. Like the other pickups in the lineup, it combines this performance and spirit of adventure with the ultimate technology offerings and comfort.Chevy Silverado 3500HD
The Silverado 3500HD achieved something few other pickups have — when it came out, it dethroned the Ford F-350 as best-in-class for maximum towing capacity. When you combine it with a regular cab, gooseneck hitch, dual back wheels, rear-wheel drive, and a 6.6-liter turbodiesel engine, you’re getting a maximum tow rating of a mind-boggling 35,500 pounds. Offering the absolute best in safety technology, infotainment options, and a comfortable cabin, it’s among the best pickups on the market today.Honorable Mention: Chevy Tahoe
While the Tahoe technically isn’t a truck, but rather is a sport utility vehicle, it features an old-school design where it’s built body-on-frame like a truck instead of using a crossover car design. That gives it powerful performance on par with some light-duty pickups, while also offering the extra passenger space you want from an SUV. It’s a great entry with its powerful 6.2-liter V-8 engine that delivers 420 horsepower. When properly equipped, it can handle a maximum trailer load of 8,600 pounds. That will get your boat to the lake in style. If you’d like to check out any of these great trucks, Jim Turner Chevrolet is ready to help.
