I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab and absolutely love the truck. It's a fun truck to drive. We traded a Chevy Outback SUV for this truck and enjoy the truck much more than the SUV, although the Chevy Outback was a great vehicle too:
I've never towed it, but one reason we purchased this specific truck was so, in the future, our lifestyle changed, we could tow it. As it turns out, about 2 months later we traded our travel trailer for a fifth wheel, and not a motor home. But still....
Anyway, according to my Owner's Manual, here is how the truck can be towed 4 down. If the truck is 2 wheel drive, it has to be towed on a tow dolly. 4 wheel drive can be towed 4 down:
