When it comes to towing and hauling, the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is a midsize pickup that punches above its weight class.
The Colorado offers a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine across all trims, pumping out 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque through a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on most trims, with four-wheel drive optional for enhanced all-terrain capability.
Depending on the configuration, the 2026 Colorado can haul payloads of up to around 1,500 pounds in its bed. When properly equipped, it has a max conventional towing capacity of 7,700 pounds—enough to pull a camping trailer, fishing boat, or utility trailer loaded with gear and toys for your weekend adventures.
To make towing easier and safer, the Colorado offers a range of driver-assist features. These features include trailer sway control to maintain load stability, auto grade braking to help maintain speed on slopes, and a trailer brake controller for fingertip control of your trailer's brakes. The available trailering cameras and hitch guidance make solo hitching a breeze.
