2026 Chevy Colorado Trim Comparison WT Custom LT Trail Boss Z71 ZR2

Six: WT, Custom, LT, Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2. The ZR2 Bison is a factory package built on the ZR2 rather than a seventh trim. WT, Custom and LT can be had in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 are four-wheel drive only.

For most Fayetteville buyers, the LT at $36,000. It adds the EZ Lift and Lower tailgate with built-in StowFlex storage, remote start with Keyless Open and Start, and available wireless phone charging over the cheaper trims, without stepping into off-road hardware you may never use. If you are buying the truck to work rather than to play, the WT at $32,400 with the $945 Advanced Trailering Package tows exactly as much and is the sharper pencil.

No. All six trims use the same 2.7L TurboMax engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired to the same eight-speed automatic. There is no engine upgrade to buy. What moves as you climb the lineup is suspension, tires, differentials, drive modes and interior content.

They share the two-inch factory lift, the 32-inch all-terrain tires, the four selectable drive modes and the off-road performance display. The Z71 costs about $4,100 more and adds LED headlamps, taillamps and fog lamps, the Jet Black interior with Adrenaline Red accents, and a higher content level generally. If you want the lift and the tires and do not care about the lighting and trim upgrades, the Trail Boss is the same truck in the dirt.

Any of the first five, as long as it has the Advanced Trailering Package. WT, Custom, LT, Trail Boss and Z71 all tow up to 7,700 lbs when properly equipped. The package is standard on Trail Boss and Z71 and a $945 factory option on WT and LT. The ZR2 is the exception at 6,000 lbs, because its off-road hardware and mud-terrain tires change the math.

It depends on whether you actually go. The ZR2 adds Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear locking differentials, a three-inch lift and 33-inch mud-terrain tires for about $6,100 over the Z71. For the sand roads around Sandhills Game Land, a Z71 on all-terrains is plenty. For serious rock work at the Uwharrie National Forest OHV trails a couple of hours west, the ZR2 hardware earns its money. It also costs you fuel economy every day: 17 combined against the Z71's 19.

A rear-wheel-drive WT, Custom or LT, all rated at 19 city and 24 highway by the EPA. Four-wheel drive drops that to 17 and 22, and the ZR2 on mud-terrain tires sits at 17 across the board. If your truck mostly runs Cliffdale Road and the All American Freeway rather than a trail, rear-wheel drive is worth considering. Your actual mileage will vary.

Chevrolet runs a military purchase program, and eligibility and current terms change, so we will not quote you a figure on a web page that might be out of date by the time you read it. Call us at (910) 864-9500 or ask when you come in and we will check what you qualify for that day. We have been selling to Fort Bragg from 4709 Bragg Blvd since 1961, so this is a conversation we have most days.

Yes, and you should, because the trims feel different even though the engine does not. A Trail Boss on 32-inch all-terrains rides and steers differently from a rear-drive LT on 17-inch all-seasons, and the only way to know which you prefer is back to back. Inventory changes weekly, so call ahead and we will line up the two you want.

Yes. Bring the vehicle and the title to 4709 Bragg Blvd and we will appraise it while you drive. We sell used trucks in Cumberland County every week, so the number we give you reflects what the local market is actually paying rather than a national average pulled off a website.
