2027 Chevrolet Colorado: Midsize Capability

2027 Chevrolet Colorado

2027 Chevrolet Colorado: Work and Beyond

The 2027 Chevrolet Colorado combines a midsize pickup footprint with the bed, towing capability, and passenger space to take on more than one role. It sits below the full-size Silverado in Chevrolet's truck lineup and offers a crew cab and short bed for drivers who need practical utility without choosing a full-size pickup.

At Milton Ruben Chevrolet, Augusta-area shoppers can consider the Colorado for everything from carrying project supplies to taking a properly matched trailer out for the weekend. An enhanced TurboMax® engine brings 350 horsepower to the lineup, while different trims allow shoppers to prioritize everyday equipment or more specialized off-road hardware.

Pick the Colorado That Fits Your Plans

The WT focuses on pickup utility, while the LT adds everyday comforts such as a power driver's seat and heated front seats. The Trail Boss and Z71 bring four-wheel drive and equipment suited to drivers who want more capability beyond pavement.

For a more trail-focused configuration, the ZR2 adds 33-inch mud-terrain tires and specialized suspension components. The available ZR2 Bison Edition builds on that foundation with additional underbody protection and larger tires. Compare equipment carefully: towing, payload, comfort features, and off-road hardware vary by configuration.

Crew-Cab Comfort for the Whole Trip

The Colorado's four-door crew cab seats up to five, keeping passenger space separate from the open bed. A front console offers storage for smaller items, and rear air vents help make the second row useful when passengers come along. The LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 have standard dual-zone automatic climate control; the WT uses single-zone manual air conditioning.

Cab and bed measurements include:

  • Front legroom: 45.17 inches
  • Rear legroom: 34.7 inches
  • Bed length at the floor: 61.7 inches
  • Cargo-box volume: 41.9 cubic feet

The LT includes an eight-way power driver's seat and heated front seats. On the WT, the power driver's seat is available with WT Convenience Package II; on the Trail Boss, it and heated front seats are available through Trail Boss Convenience Package II. Depending on trim and package, seating materials range from cloth and Evotex to available leather-appointed front seats. Ventilated front seats are available with Convenience Package III on applicable models.

Purposeful Styling and a Useful Bed

The Colorado's upright proportions and short bed give it the presence of a pickup while keeping its dimensions manageable for a midsize truck. The available StowFlex® Tailgate includes a lockable storage compartment for smaller items. It is standard on the LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 and available on the WT with the WT Convenience Package II.

The truck's dimensions and standard wheels vary by trim:

  • Wheelbase: 131.36 inches
  • Overall length: approximately 212.69 to 213.21 inches
  • Width without mirrors: 74.91 to 78.09 inches
  • Standard wheels: 17 inches on the WT, LT, and ZR2; 18 inches on the Trail Boss and Z71

The Trail Boss and ZR2 add wider bodywork and off-road-oriented equipment. A spray-on bedliner is standard on the ZR2 and available on other configurations. The available ZR2 Bison Edition adds protective skid plates and 35-inch mud-terrain tires for shoppers seeking a more specialized trail setup.

Exterior paint color availability includes:

  • Serpent Metallic
  • White Sands
  • Summit White
  • Black
  • Storm Gray Metallic
  • Nitron Blue
  • Radiant Red Tintcoat
  • Sterling Gray Metallic

TurboMax Power With a Purpose

The Colorado's standard 2.7-liter TurboMax engine produces 350 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That output gives the truck a strong foundation for moving equipment, merging onto the highway, or bringing a trailer along when properly configured.

The WT and LT offer a choice of two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is standard on the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2. The Trail Boss comes with 32-inch all-terrain tires, while the ZR2 uses 33-inch mud-terrain tires and specialized suspension equipment for more demanding routes.

Towing and Payload

When properly equipped, the WT, LT, Trail Boss, and Z71 can tow up to 7,700 pounds; the ZR2 is rated up to 6,000 pounds. The WT and LT require the Trailering Package and locking rear differential to reach the 7,700-pound maximum. Ratings depend on equipment and configuration, and passengers, cargo, and optional equipment reduce the weight available for towing.

The Trailering Package includes a hitch, seven-pin connector, and integrated trailer brake controller. An available Advanced Trailering Package adds the Trailering App and other equipment on applicable models. Maximum listed payload is 1,710 pounds for the two-wheel-drive WT and LT; payload varies with configuration and loading. Check the specific truck's ratings before matching it to a trailer or load.

Technology That Keeps the Day Moving

Every Colorado trim has an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch fully digital Driver Information Center. Together, they keep vehicle information and connected features accessible from the driver's seat, whether the day starts with a commute or a supply run.

The infotainment system offers:

  • Google built-in for compatible connected services
  • Navigation through supported connected services
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for compatible phones
  • Advanced voice recognition for supported commands
  • Personalized profiles for infotainment and vehicle settings

Connected features may require compatible devices, service plans, or data connections. A six-speaker audio system and two front USB ports are standard. Wireless phone charging is offered on select configurations; availability depends on the trim and package.

Safety Features for Daily Driving and More

The Colorado comes with a range of standard driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. Blind Zone Steering Assist is standard on the WT and LT, while the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 use Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering. The trailering version is also available on the WT and LT with the Advanced Trailering Package.

Five notable standard features include:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking: Can apply braking in certain potential forward-collision situations
  • Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Can assist when pedestrians or bicyclists are detected ahead
  • Forward Collision Alert: Provides a warning when a potential forward collision is detected
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Helps address detected unintentional lane departures
  • Rear Cross Traffic Braking: Can assist with braking for detected cross traffic when reversing

Adaptive Cruise Control and HD Surround Vision are available on select trims through the Technology Package. The Z71 and ZR2 can also be equipped with underbody cameras, subject to package requirements. Driver-assistance systems support, rather than replace, an attentive driver.
