you can go to Uhaul.com and pretrend you are going to rent one of there aluminum trailers. If will go through a set of questions to see if you qualify to tow there trailer with your tow vehicle. If they say NO, then I would listen to what they say. I have a Dodge Dakota with a V-8 and it qualifies to pull the trailer with the weight of a Boxster, 2 people and luggage. I have a tow package with tranny cooler and Class V tow package. It is not a full size pickup and it just qualified for this weight. The Dakota with the V-8 and Tow package is rated at just over 5,000 lbs. I would think a Colorado would be borderline especially on hills.
