The 2026 Colorado Lineup at a Glance
The 2026 Colorado is available in multiple trims that suit a range of needs, from hardworking base models to trail-ready performance versions. The 2026 Colorado is powered by a 2.7L TurboMax® engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, the Colorado has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, offering genuine midsize truck capability.
Trim Highlights
2026 Colorado WT: Designed for dependable daily work duty, the WT includes 17-inch Ultra Silver Metallic wheels, standard Safety Assist, and an 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen with Google built-in, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility — giving you essential functionality without unnecessary extras.
2026 Colorado Custom: Adding style to capability, the Custom trim features 18-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels, black exterior badging, and the same connectivity and safety technology found on higher trims.
2026 Colorado LT: Balanced for comfort and capability, the LT builds on the WT with EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with StowFlex® storage, remote start with Keyless Open & Start, and available wireless phone charging for added convenience.
2026 Colorado Trail Boss: For drivers who want added off-road readiness, the Trail Boss adds 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires and other trail-oriented equipment to help you tackle rugged terrain with confidence.
2026 Colorado ZR2: At the top of the lineup, the ZR2 delivers enhanced off-road performance with a factory-installed 3-inch suspension lift, Multimatic® DSSV™ dampers, 33-inch mud-terrain tires, and up to 5 selectable drive modes, including Baja mode for sandy conditions. It also includes an off-road performance display and segment-first available underbody cameras to help monitor terrain beneath the truck.
Features That Make the Colorado Stand Out
The 2026 Colorado isn’t just capable; it’s well-designed for everyday use and adventurous pursuits alike:
- Cargo Bed Utility: Up to 17 tie-down points, a StowFlex® tailgate with mid-position support up to 500 lbs, built-in bed measurement tools, cargo-bed lighting, and a 120-volt outlet make loading and organizing gear easier than ever.
- Connectivity: Standard 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment with Google built-in, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ keeps you connected on the go. Wireless phone charging is available on select trims.
- Underbody Cameras: A segment-first feature on certain trims like the ZR2, underbody cameras provide real-time forward- and rear-facing views beneath the truck — especially useful off-road.
- Safety: Every 2026 Colorado includes Safety Assist, a suite of six active safety technologies: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams.
Which Trim Is Right for You?
Choosing the right Colorado starts with how you plan to use it:
- Work and Daily Duty: WT or Custom trims offer solid capability and value for job-site use or regular commuting with modern tech features and essential safety.
- Comfort Meets Capability: The LT adds convenience features that make longer drives more comfortable without sacrificing performance.
- Off-Road Enthusiasts: Trail Boss and ZR2 trims bring added ground clearance, aggressive tire options, and drive modes designed for muddy paths, rocky trails, and unpaved adventures.
