At Mildenberger Motors, drivers can explore the latest updates across the 2026 and 2025 Chevrolet truck lineup, including the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Chevrolet Colorado. Whether you need serious towing power, off-road confidence, or all-electric performance, Chevrolet continues to improve its truck lineup for the new model year.

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Technology

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 remains one of the most versatile full-size trucks available for drivers throughout Hamilton, Missoula, and the Bitterroot Valley. It offers four engine options, giving drivers the flexibility to choose the right balance of power and efficiency.

The standard 2.7L TurboMax engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, making it an excellent option for daily driving and light towing. Drivers needing more traditional V8 performance can choose the 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower or the powerful 6.2L V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. For those who prioritize fuel efficiency and heavy-duty torque, the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel offers 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque.

With a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds, the Silverado 1500 is built for hauling trailers, boats, work equipment, and more across Montana highways and backroads. Popular trims like the WT, LT, and High Country continue to offer a wide range of comfort and technology upgrades. Starting with the LT trim, drivers receive a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver information center for a more connected driving experience.

2026 Chevrolet Colorado Delivers More Standard Power

The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado brings one of the biggest updates in the midsize truck segment by making the high-output 2.7L TurboMax engine standard across every trim level.

Unlike some 2025 models that offered lower output versions of this engine, every 2026 Colorado now delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This gives every driver stronger performance right from the start, whether commuting through Hamilton or heading off-road across Western Montana.

The Colorado also offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds, making it a strong option for smaller trailers, recreational gear, and outdoor adventures. Technology upgrades continue with an 11-inch digital driver display and an 11.3-inch center touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

Available trims such as the WT, LT, Trail Boss, and ZR2 allow drivers to choose from work-ready practicality or serious off-road capability. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 20 inches depending on trim and configuration.
