At Fillback Family of Dealerships in Boscobel, our truck experts are ready to help you dissect the advanced trailering technology and rugged suspension options available on this completely modernized pickup. Review the specifications below, then explore our current 2026 Colorado availability online.
Chevrolet eliminated engine compromise for 2026. Every Colorado is powered by the incredibly robust TurboMax powertrain, paired with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission.
| Powertrain Element | TurboMax Engine Specification |
|---|---|
| Horsepower | 310 hp @ 5,600 RPM |
| Torque | 430 lb-ft @ 3,000 RPM |
| Transmission | 8-Speed Automatic |
| Drivetrain | 2WD or Available 4WD |
By delivering 430 lb-ft of torque at a low 3,000 RPM, the TurboMax engine ensures the Colorado accelerates rapidly from a dead stop, even with a bed full of heavy equipment. This power delivery makes merging onto Highway 14 or climbing steep inclines in the Driftless Area feel effortless. When unladen, standard 2WD configurations offer excellent efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 23 MPG highway rating to keep your commuting costs low.
The Colorado utilizes a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame to support serious towing and payload metrics, rivaling many older full-size trucks.
| Capability Metric | Official Rating |
|---|---|
| Maximum Towing Capacity | Up to 7,700 lbs (when properly equipped) |
| Maximum Payload Capacity | Up to 1,720 lbs (when properly equipped) |
| ZR2 Suspension System | DSSV Multimatic Suspension Dampers |
When properly equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 lbs, which is more than enough capacity to comfortably haul a dual-axle camper or a flatbed loaded with ATVs. For dedicated off-roaders, the ZR2 trim transforms the truck into a trail predator. It equips a 3-inch factory lift, driver-selectable full-locking front and rear differentials, and DSSV Multimatic suspension dampers to absorb massive impacts on rocky terrain without losing traction.
The 2026 Colorado lineup spans from highly capable work trucks to highly specialized off-road variants.

The Colorado features an incredibly smart cargo box designed specifically for active users. The available StowFlex Tailgate integrates a lockable, watertight storage compartment directly into the tailgate itself, which is perfect for storing tow straps, emergency tools, or functioning as a cooler on ice for tailgating. Standard cab-mounted cargo area lamps illuminate the 41.9 cubic foot bed at night, while the CornerStep rear bumper ensures you can easily access the bed even when the tailgate is lowered.
Every Colorado is equipped with an 11.3-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display with Google built-in. This native system brings Google Maps and Google Assistant directly to your dashboard, offering highly accurate voice commands and real-time traffic updates.

Alongside this center screen, an 11-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center provides fully reconfigurable digital gauge layouts. Our local team is ready to help you build these technology upgrades into your financing plan.
Chevrolet prioritized structural and active safety by including Chevy Safety Assist standard on every model. This package provides critical intervention features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking. For maximum confidence while navigating parking lots or hooking up a trailer, the HD Rear Vision Camera includes Hitch Guidance, projecting a clear, centered guideline to help you align your ball mount perfectly on the first try. You can review the full active safety metrics on the official NHTSA crash test portal, and you can always rely on our expert technicians to calibrate your driver assist sensors to keep them operating perfectly.
