The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado comes standard with a 2.7L TurboMax engine that delivers 310 horsepower and an impressive 430 lb-ft of torque-class-leading torque in the midsize truck segment. This engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission and enables the Colorado to tow up to 7,700 lbs with ease, making it perfect for job tasks, family road trips, and outdoor adventures.

The truck features five distinct drive modes-including Off-Road, Terrain, and exclusive Baja mode on the ZR2-so you can tailor performance for optimal traction and control. You'll also enjoy Tow/Haul mode for optimized power when towing heavy loads.
