The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado driving in sand

Like many Chevrolet trucks, the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is durable and offers plenty of power for towing heavy loads. It also appeals to drivers seeking a vehicle that can handle challenging off-road terrain for work or recreational tasks. Lester Glenn Chevrolet has the details on the performance features that help it stand out.

A Turbocharged Powertrain

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is equipped with a 2.7-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. It offers smooth acceleration for daily commuting and towing at the worksite. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that provides seamless gear shifts on any pavement.

Dynamic Towing Capacities

One of the main appeals of the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is its ability to tow heavier loads, such as large campers or a trailer with construction tools. Most trims can tow up to 7,700 lbs. when properly equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package. The ZR2 trim can tow up to 6,000 lbs.

Drive Mode Selector

With the available Drive Mode Selector, you can adjust your performance for specific driving scenarios. For example, Off-Road Mode provides extra traction on various types of terrain, including grass, deep snow, and mud. The ZR2 trim adds Baja Mode, which enhances your stability on sandy terrain.

Optimized Drivetrain Options

Two drivetrain options are available for the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado. Rear-wheel drive provides balanced traction and handling on paved roads. Four-wheel drive is also available, maximizing your traction when towing on off-road terrain with an Autotrac® single-speed or two-speed transfer case.
