The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 epitomizes off-road excellence within the Colorado lineup. It's engineered for owners who demand exceptional capability in the toughest terrain.

Key performance features include a 3-inch factory-installed lift for increased ground clearance, an advanced suspension system, and exclusive Multimatic DSSV dampers that deliver superior handling and control in extreme conditions. The ZR2 offers five selectable drive modes-including specialized Baja mode-allowing you to tailor performance to any environment.

Rolling on 17-inch wheels wrapped in robust 33-inch mud-terrain tires, the ZR2's imposing stance and aggressive tread pattern tackle mud, rock, sand, and high-speed desert driving. Inside, premium features and rugged styling create a cabin that exudes both luxury and resilience.

The ZR2 is the ultimate choice for thrill-seekers and serious off-road adventurers. To experience its capability firsthand or discuss ownership, contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or visit us in Chippewa Falls.
