Find the Right 2026 Chevy Colorado Trim for You
The 2026 Chevy Colorado lineup includes five trims: the WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. All equipped with the same powerful engine and transmission, the key differences lie in styling, off-road capabilities, tech, and your lifestyle needs.
WT Trim
The WT is the entry-level trim, a work truck focused on durability, made for everyday and commercial use. It’s the most affordable truck in the 2026 lineup with a starting MSRP of $32,400[a] . The reconfigurable bed, featuring a built-in 120-volt power outlet and available cargo lighting, brings practical bed and tailgate functionality, allowing you to handle wherever the workday takes you.
LT Trim
The LT is next in the lineup, offering more tech, convenience features, and comfort-focused additions, such as 17-inch Argent Metallic wheels, an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with built-in StowFlex storage, remote start and keyless entry, heated driver and front passenger seats, and available wireless phone charging.
Trail Boss
The Trail Boss is the first off-roading trim in the lineup, offering incredible capability typically reserved for more premium trims in other brands. It’s designed to tackle tough terrain, featuring 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires and optional 20-inch Trail Boss wheels. It comes with four selectable drive modes, an off-road performance display, a 2-inch factory-installed lift, a 2-speed automatic transfer case, and a transfer case shield. True to its off-road nature, the Trail Boss is only available in four-wheel drive. Ideal for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts alike, this truck can handle it all while still being a great daily driver around town.
Z71
The Z71 combines off-road performance with additional premium features. It’s the best of the LT and Trail Boss and is a favorite amongst the 2026 lineup, as the Z71 is built for adventure. It comes standard with remote start, an eight-way power driver’s seat adjuster, a gorgeous jet-black interior with adrenaline-red accents, four selectable drive modes, and an off-road performance display. It also offers a range of available premium features that can be added for an even more customized ride. Like the Trail Boss, it’s only available in four-wheel drive.
ZR2
The ZR2 sits at the top of the 2026 lineup and is Chevy’s most extreme off-roading Colorado to hit the trails. It’s one of the most impressive and capable midsize trucks on the market, and it’s the best choice when you want the top-tier premium trim of the 2026 Colorado. It comes standard with 17-inch wheels and 33-inch mud-terrain tires, a three-inch factory-installed lift with high-performance suspension, Multimatic DSSV dampers, five selectable drive modes, including an exclusive Baja Mode for tackling sandy terrain, ventilated front seats, rear USB ports, remote start, and a spray-on bedliner.
As the ultimate off-roading powerhouse, it comes standard with only four-wheel drive. The ZR2 was built to conquer any challenging terrain with ease, proving it deserves the top spot in the Colorado lineup.
