Well my concern is I have a Chevy Colorado 4x4 and am wanting to tow my samurai but i dont know if it'll be able to tow it. my samurai is going to have 33's and has the TT yj conversion. Would my colorado be able to handle that and a small trailer?

what is the towing rating on your Colorado?

Samurai weigh in at 1800-3000 pounds depending on the mods.

Add a 1500 pound 2-axle trailer and you are up to as much as 4500 pounds.

When you add in the vehicle weight of a Colorado, you might find that what you are towing weighs more than the Colorado!

Of course all of this is speculation because I don't know anything about a Colorado - you do though.  The answers are in the Owner's Manual or at your local Chevrolet dealer.

I'm not trying to be a smart-$%* here, it's just that an Internet forum is the worse place to ask this type of question.  All you'll get is opinions.  You need facts.  Those are often a scarce commodity here...

I hope that this helps!
