The 2026 Colorado has three off-road-capable trims, each suited to different adventure levels.

**Trail Boss** emphasizes rugged utility with a factory 2-inch lift, 2-speed transfer case, transfer case shield, four selectable drive modes, and 32-inch all-terrain tires. It's your go-to for tackling mud, snow, sand, and rocky terrain.

**Z71** blends style with off-road performance, matching the Trail Boss's lift and four drive modes but adding a sporty Jet Black interior with red accents, LED lighting, and a more refined feel. Great if you want capability without sacrificing looks.

**ZR2** is the ultimate off-roader: 3-inch factory lift, advanced Multimatic DSSV dampers, five drive modes (including exclusive Baja mode), and aggressive 33-inch mud-terrain tires. It's built for demanding terrain and serious thrill-seekers.
