2026 Model Year
Colorado LT Trim
The everyday-driver pick in Chevrolet's Colorado lineup. LT keeps the standard 2.7L TurboMax engine and 7,700-lb towing that every Colorado shares, then adds the comfort and convenience features that make it a strong daily truck for East Texas.
The Daily-Driver
Colorado Trim
The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is offered in five trims: WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. Every trim shares the same 2.7L TurboMax engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and up to 7,700 lbs of towing capacity when properly equipped, so the trim decision comes down to how the truck is equipped rather than what powers it.
LT builds on the base WT with 17-inch Argent Metallic aluminum wheels, a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen, remote start, an easier-to-use tailgate, and more finished interior trim, while keeping the Colorado's midsize footprint and manageable price point. Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 move the lineup toward off-road capability rather than comfort.

Trim Walk
Where LT Sits
in the Colorado Lineup
The 2026 Colorado is offered in five trims. Every trim uses the same TurboMax engine and 8-speed automatic, so pricing and equipment climb from WT through ZR2 based on comfort, styling, and off-road hardware rather than horsepower.
Starting MSRP shown reflects base 2WD Crew Cab configuration (4WD standard on Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2) and excludes destination, taxes, title, license, dealer fees, and options. Published starting prices vary somewhat by source; contact Kramer Chevrolet Livingston for exact pricing on in-stock units.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Distinctive Character |
|---|---|---|
| WT | RWD standard, 4WD available | Work Truck base trim. 7-inch touchscreen, cloth seating, 17-inch steel wheels, standard Chevy Safety Assist. |
| LT | RWD standard, 4WD available | Adds 17-inch Argent Metallic aluminum wheels, an 11.3-inch touchscreen, remote start, an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate, and StowFlex in-bed storage. |
| Trail Boss | 4WD standard | Off-road package. 2-inch suspension lift, 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and rugged exterior styling. |
| Z71 | 4WD standard | Similar off-road hardware to Trail Boss without the 2-inch lift, plus a more finished interior with red accents. |
| ZR2 | 4WD standard | Factory off-road specialist. Multimatic dampers, wider track, and the most aggressive factory suspension in the lineup. |
