Load the Gear. Lock the Hubs. Chase the Dirt: The Colorado Lineup

The 2027 Chevrolet Colorado brings serious truck hardware to a midsize package. Built with body-on-frame construction, a crew cab, a five-foot bed, and available four-wheel drive, the Colorado is ready for everything from weekday jobs to weekend trail adventures. With multiple trims available, shoppers can choose a Colorado that fits their work needs, outdoor plans, or appetite for off-road performance here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis. 

Under the hood, every 2027 Colorado uses a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine producing 310 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends that power to the wheels, with rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations available depending on the trim.

One Colorado. Plenty of Ways to Play.

The Colorado lineup starts with the Work Truck and continues through LT, Trail Boss, Z71, ZR2, and the especially trail-focused ZR2 Bison. That range gives drivers plenty of ways to build their truck around the way they spend their time.

For drivers focused on everyday capability, the Work Truck delivers the fundamentals expected from a hardworking pickup. The LT adds features geared toward everyday comfort and convenience. Move into Trail Boss territory, and the Colorado takes on a more aggressive off-road personality with a suspension lift and terrain-ready equipment.

The Z71 adds another layer of trail capability, while the ZR2 takes the Colorado deeper into serious off-road territory. At the top of the lineup, the ZR2 Bison adds specialized hardware designed for drivers who want to take their Colorado into demanding terrain.

Trail Boss Turns Up the Attitude

The Trail Boss makes a strong case for drivers who want their Colorado ready for more than pavement. It features a 2-inch lift and fender flares, along with 32-inch all-terrain tires. A limited-slip rear differential also helps put the truck’s power to work when the trail gets challenging.

The Z71 takes the adventure formula another step forward with available four-wheel-drive capability and an advanced trailering package. LED exterior lighting also gives this trim a distinctive look.

Then there is the ZR2. This is where the Colorado lineup gets serious about off-road performance. The ZR2 features Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers and locking front and rear differentials. Those features work together to help the truck handle uneven terrain while giving drivers greater control when the trail gets technical.

ZR2 Bison: Built to Go Where the Trail Gets Tough

For serious off-road enthusiasts, the Colorado ZR2 Bison brings specialized hardware to the trail. It offers 12.2 inches of ground clearance, impressive approach and departure geometry, and massive 35-inch tires.

Hydraulic front and rear bump stops add another piece of purpose-built equipment for rough terrain. The ZR2 Bison also adds additional skid plates and steel front and rear bumpers, giving this Colorado an unmistakable trail-ready presence.

For the gearhead who sees a dirt road as an invitation rather than a detour, the ZR2 Bison delivers a Colorado configured for serious adventure.

Turbo Power With Plenty of Muscle

The 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is the common thread throughout the Colorado lineup. With 310 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Colorado has the muscle to handle daily driving, hauling, towing, and weekend recreation.

The available four-wheel-drive system adds another dimension for drivers who regularly encounter loose surfaces, rough trails, snow, or other challenging conditions. The combination of turbocharged power and a body-on-frame platform gives the Colorado the mechanical foundation expected from a proper pickup.

Ready to Tow When the Weekend Calls

A pickup needs to do more than look tough, and the Colorado has the numbers to back up its truck credentials. Properly equipped, the 2027 Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds and carry up to 1,710 pounds of payload.

That towing capability makes the Colorado a natural fit for hauling recreational equipment, trailers, work gear, and weekend toys. Whether the destination is a jobsite or a campground, the Colorado brings useful capability along for the ride.

A Cabin Built for Workdays and Weekends

The Colorado’s interior combines practical truck functionality with modern technology. An 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster puts important information directly in front of the driver, while an 11.3-inch center touchscreen handles infotainment duties.

Google Built-In technology is available through the touchscreen, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. USB ports provide convenient device connections, while higher trims add additional USB ports and 120-volt household outlets in the cabin and bed.

That means the Colorado can stay connected whether the day involves commuting, construction equipment, camping gear, or a long stretch of highway.

Smart Technology Meets Truck Capability

The Colorado also brings useful driver-assistance technology into the pickup experience. Features include automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and available adaptive cruise control.

An available 360-degree camera system can provide an enhanced view around the truck, while the backup camera includes a hitch view that can make trailer hookups easier. These features add another layer of convenience when maneuvering the Colorado around town, at the jobsite, or while preparing to tow.

One Truck, Every Mission

From the jobsite to the trailhead, the 2027 Chevrolet Colorado is built to keep up. It carries real work capability, real off-road hardware, and real technology, all wrapped into a package that fits comfortably in a driveway or a garage. Whether the plan is hauling equipment through the week or chasing dirt roads all weekend, the Colorado lineup has a trim ready to answer the call. There is a version built for nearly every kind of driver, and finding the right one starts with a trip to the local Chevy dealer.

2027 Colorado: One Lineup, Plenty of Ways to Get It Done

The 2027 Chevrolet Colorado lineup makes it easy to match a midsize pickup with the way you drive. The Work Truck focuses on practical truck duty. The LT adds everyday comfort and convenience.
