2026 Chevrolet Colorado

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is available in six distinct trims: WT, Custom, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. Each model builds on the Colorado's midsize truck capabilities while emphasizing different combinations of value, comfort, style, and off-road performance.

WT:

The Work Truck provides a straightforward approach to Colorado ownership. It includes the TurboMax engine, 17-inch wheels, Chevy Safety Assist®, an 11.3-inch center touchscreen, and an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center.

Custom:

The Custom adds exterior style and additional equipment, including 18-inch High Gloss Black aluminum wheels, black badges, Chevy Safety Assist, and the same 11.3-inch touchscreen and 11-inch digital Driver Information Center.

LT:

The LT emphasizes everyday comfort and convenience. It adds features such as an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with built-in StowFlex® storage, Remote Start, Keyless Open & Start, and available wireless phone charging.

Trail Boss:

Built with off-road driving in mind, the Trail Boss features 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires, a factory-installed 2-inch lift, four selectable drive modes, an off-road performance display, and a 2-speed automatic transfer case.

Z71:

The Z71 blends off-road capability with additional style and comfort. Standard features include 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires, a Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red accents, four selectable drive modes, an off-road performance display, and LED headlamps, taillamps, and fog lamps.

ZR2:

The Colorado ZR2 is the performance-focused off-road model. It features 17-inch wheels with 33-inch mud-terrain tires, a 3-inch factory-installed lift, high-performance suspension, Multimatic® DSSV dampers, five selectable drive modes, and an off-road performance display. Available underbody cameras provide additional visibility when navigating challenging terrain.

Every 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is equipped with the 2.7L TurboMax® I-4 engine, giving the lineup a consistent foundation for performance. The engine produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, with Chevrolet identifying its 430 lb.-ft. output as best-in-class standard torque.

The TurboMax engine is paired with an enhanced 8-speed transmission. Whether you're commuting, hauling equipment, or heading beyond paved roads, the Colorado's powertrain provides the low-end torque expected from a capable pickup while maintaining the more manageable proportions of a midsize truck.

The Colorado is designed to provide truck capability in a midsize package. Properly equipped, the 2026 Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds, giving it enough capacity for many recreational trailers, equipment, and other loads.

Selectable drive modes allow the Colorado to adjust its performance for different situations. Depending on configuration, available modes include Normal, Off-Road, Terrain, and Tow/Haul, while the ZR2 adds a Baja mode designed specifically for sandy terrain.

Drivers looking for additional off-road capability can move into the Trail Boss, Z71, or ZR2. The ZR2 takes the Colorado's off-road hardware furthest with its 3-inch factory lift, 33-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, full skid plates, rocker protection, and electronic off-road technology.

Inside, the 2026 Colorado provides a technology-focused cabin designed to keep drivers connected while they work or travel. An 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen serves as the centerpiece of the dashboard, while an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center provides key vehicle information directly in front of the driver.

Standard Google built-in, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility make it easier to access navigation, communication, and entertainment features from the cabin. Available wireless phone charging adds another layer of convenience for compatible devices.

The Colorado also offers useful cargo solutions. Depending on configuration, drivers can take advantage of the available StowFlex tailgate, up to 17 available tie-downs, cargo-bed lighting, a built-in tailgate measurement tool, and an available 120-volt power outlet. The mid-position tailgate can support up to 500 pounds.

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist®, a package of six advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies. These include Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic high beams.

Available technology can further enhance visibility and confidence when maneuvering the truck. Colorado offers up to 10 available camera views, including available underbody cameras on the ZR2, along with an available Trailering App for drivers who regularly tow.

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado brings together the versatility of a midsize pickup with the torque, towing capability, technology, and available off-road equipment needed for a wide range of driving needs. With six trims and a standard TurboMax engine, Colorado gives drivers plenty of ways to choose the right balance of everyday comfort and truck capability.

At Matt LaFontaine Chevrolet, the 2026 Colorado is a compelling choice for drivers who want the utility of a pickup while maintaining a more manageable midsize footprint. From the practical WT and comfortable LT to the adventure-ready Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2, there is a Colorado designed for a variety of work and recreational lifestyles.
