The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado delivers impressive towing capability with its standard 2.7L TurboMax engine producing 310 horsepower and class-leading 430 lb-ft of torque. It can tow up to 7,700 lbs-perfect for trailers, equipment, and recreational gear.

For optimized power when towing, the Colorado includes Tow/Haul mode. Five distinct drive modes (including Off-Road and exclusive Baja mode on ZR2) let you adjust performance for different terrain. On select off-road trims, a 2-speed transfer case with shield adds capability.

If towing heavy loads is important to you, the Colorado's performance specs make it a solid choice. Call (715) 833-0444 to learn about current Colorado inventory and find the trim that fits your needs.
