The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is a great choice in the very competitive midsize truck segment. All Colorados come as crew cabs with a 5-foot bed as well as the same engine and transmission. No need to spend hours poring over all the possible combinations before buying. The Colorado boasts the highest towing capacity in its class, a roomy interior, and plenty of helpful tech.
Here are our three favorite things about the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado.
1. Off-Road Capability
All trim levels of the Colorado are highly capable on the trail, thanks to its excellent part-time 4-wheel drive (4WD) system and ground clearance of up to 10.7 inches. For those who like to play in the dirt, there are three trim levels designed for going off-road. Trims start with a solid features package for the trail and add more features until you get to the ZR2. This is the ultimate off-roader in the lineup, with a special suspension, 33-inch off-road tires, and a lot more.
2. Spacious, Comfortable Interior
While the Colorado is capable and rugged, the interior is refined and comfortable. It has the most front-seat legroom of the core midsize truck segment, and plenty of headroom for taller drivers. Add in the Colorado’s smooth, civilized highway ride, and this is a truck you can enjoy on longer road trips.
3. Helpful, Convenient Tech
All trim levels of the Colorado come with an 11.3-inch touch screen and an 11-inch Driver Information Center, which includes gauges, plus other key information. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity come with every truck. Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver assistance features, is also standard. In addition, Chevrolet offers the In-Vehicle Trailering App (seen below on a 2026 Suburban), accessed through the screen. You can monitor your trailer’s tire pressure, test trailer lights by yourself, and use its included checklists to make sure everything is properly connected. It has a trailer theft feature that will sound the alarm if the wiring harness is disconnected while your truck is parked. The app can even help you when launching or retrieving your boat at the lake.
