When it comes to midsize trucks that can handle serious towing and hauling duties, the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado rises to the challenge.
The new Colorado comes equipped with a brawny yet efficient 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine pumping out 310 horsepower and a stout 430 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain provides ample muscle for towing and payload. Depending on configuration, the Colorado can conventionally tow up to 7,700 pounds and handle a payload of up to 1,590 pounds in its rugged steel bed.
Five well-equipped trim levels are offered:
- WT
- LT
- Trail Boss
- Z71
- ZR2
The off-road oriented Z71 and ZR2 models add extra capability with standard 4WD, automatic locking rear differential, and special off-road suspension. A heavy-duty trailering package is available on all trims for maximum towing performance.
To enhance towing convenience and safety, the Colorado offers a range of available trailering technologies:
- Trailer sway control applies vehicle and trailer brakes to maintain stability
- Integrated trailer brake controller provides immediate and measured trailer braking
- Hitch Guidance with Hitch View makes lining up and connecting a trailer easier
- In-vehicle trailering app features trailer profiles, pre-departure checklists, trailer tire pressure/temperature monitoring and more
