What can a Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon (2.8 Duramax) ('15-22) actually tow?
The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight (water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear), and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 1730 of 5150 campers fit a Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon (2.8 Duramax), and 44 more fit if you buy the right years.
The number that quietly binds is payload, 1,496 lb (Crew Cab short box 2WD, 2.8L Duramax with the Trailering Package - the configuration rated 7,700 lb (GVWR 6,000 lb, GCWR 12,700 lb). 4WD Crew Cab short box is 1,460 lb.): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.
Loaded estimate: dry weight + full fresh tank + propane, battery and gear for 2. Headroom is against the rating less 10%.
These changed their published weights mid-run: some model years clear a Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon (2.8 Duramax), others don't. A listing site treats them as one trailer. They aren't.
