The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado offers five selectable drive modes, allowing you to tailor performance for optimal traction and control in any situation. These modes include Off-Road and Terrain modes, plus the exclusive Baja mode on the ZR2 trim.

These modes work seamlessly with the 8-speed automatic transmission, a 2-speed transfer case on select trims, and the Colorado's substantial ground clearance to help you conquer challenging terrains with confidence.

For ZR2 models, Multimatic DSSV dampers deliver superior suspension performance. Optional factory-installed lifts of 2 or 3 inches further enhance capability for serious off-road adventures.

Curious which trim matches your needs? Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or stop by our Chippewa Falls location to test drive the Colorado and explore all available options.
