Performance & Capability
Every 2026 Chevy Colorado is powered by the same 2.7L TurboMax™ engine, which means you get 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque regardless of which trim you choose.

When properly equipped, the Colorado tows up to 7,700 lbs, enough for most boats, campers, side-by-sides, and work trailers. The ZR2, built for extreme off-road performance, has a 6,000 lb towing rating due to its specialized suspension setup. Two-wheel drive is standard on the WT and LT and keeps fuel economy up to 19 city / 24 highway MPG. The Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 come standard with 4WD and trim-specific off-road hardware for drivers who spend serious time off the pavement.
