The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado comes in five trims, from the work-focused WT to the trail-ready ZR2, spanning roughly $34,495 to $52,595. Because every one shares the same 310-horsepower TurboMax engine, choosing a trim is about equipment and capability, not power. Whether you are picking an LT to tow toward Beaver Lake or a Trail Boss to haul bikes to the OZ Trails, George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks the lineup for shoppers across Fayetteville and Siloam Springs; this page breaks down each trim, a side-by-side matrix, the common comparisons, and a step-up guide, then points you to the research hub.

Detail

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

WT — $34,495

The work truck is the value entry, and it still gets the full 2.7L TurboMax engine. Rear-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel drive available. Every WT is a crew cab with the 5-foot bed. Standard equipment includes the 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, Chevy Safety Assist, blind-spot monitoring, and durable cloth seating on 17-inch steel wheels. It is built for the buyer who wants capability and the big screen without paying for trim they will not use.

LT — $38,095

The LT is the volume trim and the comfort sweet spot. Rear-wheel drive is standard, four-wheel drive optional, again as a crew cab with the 5-foot bed. Over the WT it adds alloy wheels, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start, and more convenience features, with adaptive cruise control available. For most daily drivers who also haul on weekends, this is the natural pick.

Trail Boss — $42,495

The Trail Boss makes four-wheel drive standard, with a two-speed transfer case and low range, and adds a factory 2-inch lift, all-terrain tires, skid plates, recovery hooks, and an automatic-locking rear differential on 18-inch wheels. It is the budget-friendly way into real off-road capability without stepping up to the flagship.

Z71 — $46,495

The Z71 blends off-road hardware with comfort. It keeps standard four-wheel drive and low range, and layers on synthetic-leather seating, a heated steering wheel, available Bose audio, an underbody camera view, wireless charging, and an in-bed 110-volt outlet. It is the trim for drivers who want trail ability and a nicer cabin every day.

ZR2 — $52,595

The ZR2 is the factory trail flagship. On top of standard four-wheel drive it brings Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, 33-inch all-terrain tires, a 3-inch lift, 17-inch wheels, and ventilated front seats. Above it, the ZR2 Bison edition adds American Expedition Vehicles hardware: 35-inch mud-terrain tires, extra skid plates and stamped-steel bumpers, and a bed-mounted full-size spare. This is the pick for serious trail and desert use.

Head to Head

Common Colorado Trim Comparisons

WT vs LT

Same engine and capability; the LT buys comfort. If the truck is a tool, the WT keeps money in your pocket. If it doubles as the family and daily vehicle, the LT's heated seats, alloys, and climate control are worth the step.

Trail Boss vs Z71

Both are 4WD with low range and real off-road hardware. The Trail Boss is the value path with its factory lift and all-terrain tires; the Z71 adds the nicer cabin, available Bose, and camera tech. Pick the Trail Boss to spend on capability, the Z71 to live with it daily.

Z71 vs ZR2

The ZR2 is a different animal: Multimatic DSSV dampers, dual locking differentials, and 33-inch tires make it the true rock-and-desert trim, at the cost of a slightly lower tow rating. If your trails are moderate, the Z71 does most of it for less; if you want the flagship, the ZR2 earns it.
