2026 Chevy Colorado Specs and Features
The 2026 Colorado runs a single powertrain across all trims, the TurboMax 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 430 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm. That impressive torque figure gives the Colorado best-in-class pulling power among standard gas midsize trucks. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine delivers strong low-end grunt for towing and hauling while maintaining smooth highway cruising. Maximum towing capacity reaches 7,700 pounds when properly equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package, edging out competitors like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. Payload capacity tops out at 1,833 pounds, plenty for hauling tools, building materials, or weekend gear. Choose rear-wheel drive for efficiency or four-wheel drive for enhanced traction on jobsites and trails.
The Colorado Crew Cab provides seating for five with two available bed lengths, a 5-foot 7-inch short box for easier parking or a 6-foot 4-inch standard box for maximum cargo space. The StowFlex tailgate includes up to 17 available tie-downs and a mid-position setting that supports 500 pounds, functioning as a workbench or loading ramp. Off-road capability varies by trim, with the Z71 adding skid plates and all-terrain tires, while the ZR2 steps up with a two-inch factory lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, electronic locking front and rear differentials, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires for serious trail performance.
Inside, the 11.3-inch touchscreen runs Google Built-In with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six-speaker audio, and an 11-inch diagonal driver information center. Available upgrades include an eight-way power driver seat, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a Bose premium sound system.
