Which Chevrolet Colorado trim should I buy?

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado offers these trims:

• WT: The work-truck foundation gives you the Colorado’s core setup, and it suits buyers who want the most straightforward entry point.
• LT: This mid-grade trim serves as the basis for the Z71 and adds a more equipped everyday feel.
• Trail Boss: This trim adds off-road-tuned suspension, a two-inch factory lift, a wider stance, all-terrain tires, Off-Road and Terrain driving modes, and hill descent control; it’s the best-value pick if you want off-road capability without moving to the top of the range.
• Z71: Built from the LT, this trim adds off-road capability and sits above the Trail Boss in the hierarchy.
• ZR2: At the top of the lineup, this trim adds even more features and extra off-roading hardware, including 33-inch mud-terrain tires and Multimatic DSSV dampers.

What Chevrolet Colorado do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Colorado years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

Most Colorado model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more truck for the money.

That pattern suggests a market where prices have softened broadly rather than moving sharply in one direction.

The 2016, 2015, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
