Bob Boyte Chevrolet – Why 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Bed Storage and Camera Tech Make Workdays Smoother around Moss Point, MS
When your week bounces between jobsite tasks and after-hours projects, small details make a big difference. The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado takes that idea to heart with two practical features that punch above their weight: the tailgate’s lockable storage box and a suite of available cameras designed to simplify trailering and tight-spot driving. Together, they help you stay organized, load up faster, and maneuver with less stress, whether you are backing up to a trailer on a breezy Saturday or squeezing into a packed lot by the ball fields. This is the kind of smart utility that turns a capable truck into a productive daily partner for drivers around Moss Point, MS.
Start at the bed. The shallow, lockable storage box integrated into the tailgate is perfect for straps, gloves, a hitch sleeve, or an emergency kit. It keeps essentials sealed away yet instantly reachable when you drop the gate, and because it is shallow and smartly packaged, it preserves the usable bed space you rely on for lumber, gear, and tools. Over time, that convenience pays off every single day—fewer trips back into the cab for small items, fewer moments wondering where the tie-downs went, and a more orderly load-out overall. Pair that with configurable tie-downs and bed accessories, and you have a platform that adapts cleanly to your routine without complicated add-ons.
The second pillar is vision. Cameras transform guesswork into clarity, and the Colorado’s camera tech does it in ways that matter. The backup camera’s hitch view turns solo trailer hook-ups into a quick, accurate alignment. Available surround views add perspective at low speeds, acting like a spotter when curbs, posts, or trail ruts are just out of sight. If you plan to leave pavement behind, available underbody views on select off-road packages help you place tires precisely and avoid hidden snags. The effect is cumulative: you save time, protect your equipment, and feel more in control of the truck in situations that once felt complicated.
Inside, the 11.3-inch touchscreen ties it all together. Quick-access camera toggles reduce taps, and Google Built-In offers the familiar mapping and voice help many drivers prefer. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your playlists and navigation one touch away while eliminating cord clutter. It is a clean, modern interface that matches the truck’s practical bent—less fussy, more focused on the job at hand.
- Tailgate storage box: Lockable, shallow bin for straps, gloves, and small tools without stealing bed volume.
- Hitch view camera: On-screen guidance that helps you line up a trailer solo with pinpoint accuracy.
- Available surround views: Multiple camera angles to spot curbs, posts, and tight clearances around the truck.
- Available underbody views: Off-road confidence through better tire placement on rocks and ruts.
- Intuitive touchscreen: Large display with quick camera access and Google Built-In for seamless navigation.
Trailering capability forms the backbone. With a max rating of up to 7700 pounds when properly configured, the platform handles utility trailers, small campers, or a loaded landscape trailer confidently. That power is anchored by a 310-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and a responsive 8-speed automatic, giving you punch for merges and smooth control on grades. A limited-slip or locking differential—depending on trim—adds traction at boat ramps and muddy job sites, while the truck’s medium-sized footprint keeps it manageable in town.
For drivers comparing options, a few practical questions often come up. We’ve collected concise answers below to help you gauge how those bed and camera features translate to day-to-day wins.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the tailgate storage box handle wet conditions?
Yes. It is designed to close securely and protect small essentials from the elements, making it a smart spot for straps, work gloves, or a compact roadside kit.
Do I need an extra package for the surround or underbody views?
Surround views and underbody views are available features on select configurations. We recommend confirming camera availability when choosing your trim and off-road package to match your exact needs.
How does the hitch view help if I tow alone?
The camera provides a centered, magnified angle and on-screen guidelines to align the ball and coupler yourself, reducing back-and-forth adjustments and saving time.
Is the camera system helpful off-road as well as in town?
Absolutely. Low-speed surround and underbody perspectives are just as useful for avoiding rocks and ledges on a trail as they are for navigating tight parking decks or narrow alleys.
All of this fits into a bigger picture: a midsize truck that makes daily tasks easier without piling on complexity. The platform’s blend of strong towing, clear visibility tools, and a thoughtful tailgate storage solution means you spend more time getting things done and less time hunting for gear or inching into a space. If you are comparing options across the Gulf Coast, an easy way to narrow your list is to bring the tasks you do every week—then match features to those tasks, not the other way around. That is how a truck becomes more than just transportation.
