2026 Chevrolet Colorado
for Jackson, MN
Welcome to the definitive resource for the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado. At ASA Auto Plaza of Jackson, we understand that midsize truck buyers demand a vehicle that works hard during the week and plays even harder on the weekend.

Powered exclusively by the highly potent TurboMax engine, the 2026 Colorado delivers best in class standard torque and exceptional towing capabilities, wrapped in a bold, rugged design that is ready for whatever the midwestern landscape throws your way.
Driving the Colorado in Southern Minnesota
Taking the wheel of the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is an experience perfectly aligned with the Minnesota lifestyle. Picture loading up the bed with hunting gear or hitching up your side by side ATVs for a weekend run. The immense low end torque of the TurboMax engine pulls you onto I-90 with supreme confidence. When the harsh Jackson winters arrive, the available four wheel drive system and terrain focused drive modes are ready to work. Whether you are navigating unplowed backroads in a Z71 or crawling over deep snow and ruts in a lifted Trail Boss, the Colorado is engineered to keep you moving forward when other trucks get left behind.

Chevrolet made a bold, highly successful decision for this generation of the Colorado: they equipped every single trim with the same powerhouse engine. This means that whether you buy the entry level Work Truck or the apex off-road ZR2, you are getting phenomenal, class-leading torque right out of the gate.

Capabilities and Utility
The 2026 Colorado punches well above its weight class when it comes to raw utility. When properly equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package, the Colorado boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. This rating easily handles travel trailers, medium sized boats, and loaded utility trailers. Note: The specialized off road ZR2 trim is capped at a still impressive 6,000 pounds due to its heavily articulated suspension setup.
The truck bed is highly functional, featuring eight standard cargo tie down points with up to 17 available total tie downs. An available EZ Lift and Lower tailgate includes the ingenious StowFlex storage system, which provides a lockable, watertight compartment built directly into the tailgate itself, perfect for storing tools or keeping beverages on ice during a tailgate party.
