Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard across the lineup, and adaptive cruise control is available on the LT and above. An HD rear-vision camera is standard, with up to ten camera views including an underbody camera on the Z71 and ZR2. The 2026 Colorado earned a 4-out-of-5-star overall safety rating from NHTSA.

Interpretation

What These 2026 Colorado Numbers Mean in Practice

Spec	What it means for you
84.4 in width with mirrors	Fold the mirrors for tight garage bays and older carports; the body alone is 78.1 in.
213.2 in length	About 17.8 ft, so plan for a full-size parking space rather than a compact spot.
81.9 in height (ZR2)	The lifted ZR2 is close to a standard 84-in garage door opening; measure before you buy.
9.5 to 10.7 in ground clearance	The Trail Boss and ZR2 clear rutted gravel county roads and moderate trail obstacles.
61.7 in bed (5.1 ft)	Fits dirt bikes, mulch, and 4x8 sheets with the multifunction tailgate down.
34.7 in rear legroom	Genuinely adult-usable back seat, unlike an extended-cab midsize truck.
