Not every Oxford, North Carolina truck driver needs a massive powerhouse. The 2026 Chevy Colorado brings midsize truck might and maneuverability at once, along with serious off-road chops. With six available trims, a standard turbocharged engine, and a long list of standard safety and technology features, the Colorado handles a wide range of needs. And if you have a thirst for adventure, it loves that too. Whether you’re hauling gear on the weekend or navigating daily commutes, the Colorado is a power player.

Power and Performance

Every 2026 Chevrolet Colorado comes equipped with the 2.7L TurboMax™ 4-cylinder engine, built to keep up with its V6 siblings in larger trucks. It produces 310 hp and Best-in-Class standard torque at 430 lbs.-ft., enabling an impressive 7,700-lb. towing capacity. It’s a solid choice for drivers who need to haul a boat, camper, or trailer on a regular basis, or who plan to overcome off-road obstacles.

Trim Options for Every Driver

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado lineup spans 6 trims: WT, Custom, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. Each one brings its own personality to the table. The WT is a no-frills workhorse, while the Custom adds a stylish edge with High Gloss Black aluminum wheels and black badges.

The LT brings the EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with built-in StowFlex® storage with a drain, so you can use it as a cooler or toss in muddy gear. The Trail Boss and Z71 trims love to get dirty with their 32” all-terrain tires, 4 selectable drive modes, off-road performance display, and underbody protection. The top of the food chain is the off-road beast ZR2. Equipped with a 3” factory-installed lift, Multimatic DSSV® dampers, 33” mud-terrain tires, and 5 selectable drive modes including a ZR2-exclusive Baja Mode for high-speed desert excursions it cannot be tamed.

The ZR2 Bison Edition deserves a special mention. Made in collab with American Expedition Vehicles, it boasts a Best-in-Class 12.2” of ground clearance, 5 boron steel skid plates, 35” OD MT tires, and jounce control dampers shaping it up to be the most capable midsize truck on the market.

Technology and Connectivity

This cabin is richly-equipped with a standard 11.3” center touchscreen that runs on Google Built-in. That gives you access to Google Maps, Google Play, and Gemini voice command AI assistance to help you do everything from making hands-free calls to setting reminders. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are also included, so staying connected is easy no matter which smartphone ecosystem you prefer.

The Colorado also offers an 11” digital Driver Information Center, available wireless phone charging, and available underbody cameras on the ZR2 a segment first that lets you see the terrain beneath the truck while off-roading. A trailering app is also available for drivers who spend time towing, giving you simple pre-departure checklists and other tools to make the process more manageable.
