Jay Hatfield Chevrolet – Towing Tech Confidence – How the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado’s Camera Views Help Neosho, MO Drivers

When you’re lining up a trailer on a busy Saturday morning, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as backing straight to the coupler on the first try. The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado makes that moment easier and more repeatable with integrated trailering features centered on an 11.3-inch touchscreen and available HD Surround Vision. Hitch View offers a clear, magnified angle of your receiver and tongue so you can nudge the truck precisely into position without a spotter. Once you’re rolling, camera views help you keep tabs on your trailer, and the truck’s balanced chassis—anchored by a 310-hp turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic—adds confidence on grades and in swirling crosswinds.

Tow prep goes beyond cameras. The Colorado’s trailering-friendly tech streamlines your setup with intuitive menus, a responsive interface, and helpful prompts that reduce the chance of missing a step. When you pair that with available 4WD, stable steering, and strong, well-tuned brakes, you get a midsize truck that pulls bigger than its footprint suggests. For drivers in and around Neosho, MO who haul boats to area lakes or small enclosed trailers to job sites, the Colorado’s size makes it easier to navigate parking lots, side streets, and trailheads while still delivering the capability you expect from a true pickup.

• Hitch View precision: A close-up guide on-screen lets you align the ball and coupler with minimal back-and-forth.
• Available 360-degree awareness: The HD Surround Vision system stitches multiple camera angles for a bird’s-eye perspective in tight lots.
• Trailer-friendly interface: The 11.3-inch display and Google Built-In help you access checklists and connections quickly.
• Confident power: A turbocharged four-cylinder and 8-speed automatic deliver smooth torque for merging and hills.
• Stability mindset: Available 4WD traction and chassis tuning support steady tracking with a properly loaded trailer.

One of the best parts about the Colorado’s approach is how natural it feels from the driver’s seat. The steering stays calm with weight on the hitch, visibility is generous, and the camera integration reduces guesswork. That means fewer stressful moments in crowded ramp zones and more time enjoying the water or focusing on the job at hand. When properly equipped, the Colorado’s max towing capacity reaches 7,700 pounds, which covers a broad range of small to medium trailers, utility loads, and family toys without stepping up to a full-size truck.

Safety-conscious features round out the package. Chevy Safety Assist brings key driver-assistance technologies, and available Adaptive Cruise Control can help take the edge off longer highway runs. Add in the convenience of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and you’ll be dialed into navigation and towing checklists from your phone without tangled cords. If your weekends involve new destinations, you’ll appreciate how easily the Colorado parks compared to larger trucks, especially with the help of those camera views.
