The 2026 Colorado features a standard 2.7L TurboMax engine with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 7,700 lbs with ease. For towing, you get a dedicated Tow/Haul mode that optimizes power when carrying heavy loads. The truck offers five distinct drive modes-including Off-Road, Terrain, and exclusive Baja mode on ZR2-letting you tailor performance for optimal traction and control.

Specialized off-road trims come with a 2-speed transfer case and transfer case shield. The ZR2 features Multimatic DSSV dampers for superior suspension performance, and optional factory-installed lifts of 2 or 3 inches are available. Regenerative braking on certain trims adds better control and efficiency. At Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls, our team can walk you through which performance features match your needs.
