The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is powered by a 2.7L TurboMax engine producing 310 horsepower and an impressive 430 lb-ft of torque-the most torque in the midsize truck segment. This engine enables the Colorado to tow up to 7,700 lbs, perfect for boats, trailers, and work equipment. An 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and quick acceleration. The truck also features five selectable drive modes including Off Road and Tow Haul, which optimize power management during towing. Higher trims add advanced features like Multimatic DSSV dampers and a 2-speed transfer case for even better handling on challenging terrain. To learn more about trim-specific performance options or to take a Colorado for a test drive, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444.
