Can a Chevy Colorado be flat towed?

Can a Chevy Colorado be flat towed?
Yes, the 4-wheel-drive version of the Chevy Colorado can be flat towed if it has a neutral and 4WD low setting. This applies to the 2020 Chevy Colorado as well.
For flat towing a 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2, it can be flat towed if it is four-wheel-drive with a Neutral and a Four-Wheel Drive Low setting. Additionally, a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables are needed for flat towing the Colorado ZR2.
It’s important to note that only the 4×4/4WD model of the Chevy Colorado can be flat towed, and the truck must be in neutral. Attempting to flat tow a rear-wheel-drive Colorado can damage the drivetrain and cause significant damage.
In summary, the 4-wheel-drive version of the Chevy Colorado, including the 2020 model and the 2022 ZR2, can be flat towed if specific conditions are met.
