9. Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon
When General Motors launched its range of mid-size pickup trucks in 2015, it revived a segment that had lost much of its shine. Today, the Colorado and the Canyon are offered in a few different versions, powered either by a 2.5L 4-cylinder, a 3.6L V6 or a small 2.8L 4-cylinder turbo-diesel. The latter engine is actually quite a beast as it can pull up to 7,700 lbs, while the gasoline-fed 4-cylinder can only muster 3,500 lbs (although that does make that version the most powerful in its class), and the V6 7,000 lbs. Your local Chevy and GM dealers will be able to fill you in on exactly what equipment is required for each version to pull their maximum weight.
