One Engine, Plenty of Capability 

Every 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is powered by the TurboMax™ 2.7L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 310 hp and Best-in-Class standard 430 lbs. ft. of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it delivers the kind of low-end strength that’s just as useful pulling away from a stoplight as it is climbing a rocky trail. 

When properly equipped, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 lbs., giving you the freedom to bring along a camper, fishing boat, utility trailer, or work equipment. Depending on the trim, selectable drive modes—including Normal, Tow/Haul, Off-Road, Terrain, and the ZR2-exclusive Baja mode—help the truck adapt to changing terrain with confidence. If you’re comparing pickups for work or recreation, exploring the available new Chevrolet truck inventory is a great place to start. 

A Trim for Every Kind of Explorer 

The Colorado lineup includes WT, Custom, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2, with each trim offering its own blend of capability and comfort. WT and Custom provide a solid foundation for everyday driving and jobsite duty. The LT adds welcome conveniences like remote start and available wireless phone charging, making it an excellent companion for busy days. Trail Boss and Z71 begin to reveal the Colorado’s adventurous side with factory-installed lift components, 18-inch wheels wrapped in 32-inch all-terrain tires, and selectable drive modes designed for changing conditions. 

At the top of the lineup, the ZR2 is ready to venture farther with a factory-installed 3-inch lift, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, 33-inch mud-terrain tires, and full skid plates. Drivers looking for maximum trail capability can also explore the ZR2 Bison, developed with American Expedition Vehicles, featuring 35-inch OD mud-terrain tires, five boron steel skid plates, and 12.2 inches of ground clearance. 

Technology That Helps You Go Farther 

Every Colorado comes standard with an 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen featuring Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay®, and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. An 11-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center is also standard across the lineup, providing key vehicle information in a clear, easy-to-read display. 

Available wireless phone charging, the available Trailering app, and up to 10 available camera views make towing and maneuvering easier. On the ZR2, available underbody cameras offer a unique perspective of the terrain below, helping drivers place the truck more precisely on challenging trails. Routine maintenance through our Chevrolet service center helps keep your Colorado prepared for the next adventure. 

Confidence Comes Standard 

Every 2026 Chevrolet Colorado includes Chevy Safety Assist, featuring Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist. These technologies support drivers during daily commuting, highway travel, and backroad exploration, adding confidence without complicating the driving experience.
