If you're looking for a midsize truck that can handle serious off-road terrain without any aftermarket help, you should be checking out the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison. Built in collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles, this truck was engineered specifically for drivers who want to push their truck off-road. So, if you're either going down rocky trails or sandy terrain, the ZR2 Bison brings a level of factory-built capability that's hard to match in the midsize segment. more The Engine Behind the Adventure The 2026 Colorado ZR2 Bison is powered by the 2.7-liter TurboMax® I-4 engine, producing 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. That torque figure represents best-in-class standard output among midsize trucks, giving you the pulling power you need when the trail gets steep, or the load gets heavy. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the drivetrain delivers smooth power across a wide range of driving conditions. Ground Clearance and Suspension That Mean Business What truly sets the Colorado ZR2 Bison apart from other off-road-focused trucks is what's underneath. The ZR2 Bison rides on 35-in off-road tires and has 12.2-in of ground clearance, which ranks best-in-class among midsize trucks. Up front and in the rear, jounce control dampers work alongside Multimatic® spool-valve shocks to absorb rough terrain and keep the truck composed at speed. The ZR2 Bison also features a 3-in factory-installed lift and an ultra-wide stance that adds stability on uneven ground. Protection You Can Count On Trail-ready capability isn't just about getting over obstacles - it's also about protecting your truck when things get rough. The ZR2 Bison includes five Boron steel skid plates to shield critical underbody components from rocks, debris, and other hazards. Full skid plates and rocker protection are also part of the package, ensuring the truck can take a beating on the trail and keep going. Drivers who venture beyond paved roads will appreciate how thoroughly this truck is armored from the factory. Technology That Supports Your Trail Even with its serious off-road focus, the Colorado ZR2 Bison keeps you connected and informed. The cab features an 11.3-in diagonal center touchscreen with Google built-in, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility. An 11-in diagonal digital Driver Information Center keeps key data visible at a glance. For trail use specifically, the ZR2 Bison offers an off-road performance display so you can monitor your driving in real time, and available underbody cameras - a segment first - let you see the terrain directly below the truck before committing to a line. Drive Modes Built for Every Surface The trail-ready story of the 2026 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison continues with five selectable drive modes, including the ZR2-exclusive Baja mode. Baja mode is optimized for high-speed desert running, adjusting power delivery, stability, and traction control for sandy terrain. Other available modes include Off-Road, Terrain, Tow/Haul, and Normal, giving you the right setup whether you're rock crawling, hauling a load, or just running errands.
