I have a 18 z71 colorado for my company vehicle and went to pick up an opus op4 I bought with it. Trailer weighs around 3k dry. The colorado is such a turd. I pulled it about 250 miles from eastern pnhandle of WV back to other side where I live. I couldn’t get back fast enough to get out of it!I towed a fully, fully loaded uhaul 6x12 from NC to GA a little over a week ago, but I used my father’s 18 Z71 Colorado this time. It definitely has more power, but I think my Gladiator tows better. It’s probably the extra weight and longer wheelbase. I’ve done the same thing in my Gladiator before and it felt more stable. I mean the Colorado tows pretty well, but it didn’t handle the windy conditions or construction zones as well. I had a similarly spec’d Canyon before my Gladiator and I thought it towed and hauled pretty well, but the Gladiator is more stable.
I disagree. I loved my 17 Canyon all terrain (same thing). It was way more powerful and handle fantastic for a truck. I used to tear up mtn road in it. I love my gladiator, but the Canyon/Colorado handle better and have considerably more power.I have a 18 z71 colorado for my company vehicle and went to pick up an opus op4 I bought with it.

I was way overloaded. it was over 6k lbs. I stopped at a Pilot and used their scale. It was within the truck’s 7k lb tow rating, but way over the trailer’s payload.
That was a good looking chevy. I really like the 19 I tesst drove.Had a zr2 duramax that towed really nice. My jtwd towed just as well if not better. But the suspension on the zr2 was Far better then anything jeep puts out. Sorry Mohave guys burn me if you will but zr2 is still a better ride. Lol
Here is the zr2 at the top of whiteface mt and my jtwd with the old tt and the new tt
We leave Friday for myrtle towing the nobo.

Half regret trading it in but that goes away when I take my roof off and doors off. Then I say man I love this truck!!That was a good looking chevy. I really like the 19 I tesst drove.
That’s good to know actually. I HATE my z71, but it’s a company truck so can’t complain much. I’m due for a new one this year. Was pushing for a raptor, but don’t think it’s gonna happen, so the zr2 diesel is my next option.Had a zr2 duramax that towed really nice. My jtwd towed just as well if not better.
