Chevrolet is reintroducing the Desert Boss Special Edition for the 2027 Colorado, specifically for the ZR2 model. The package will be offered as a dealer-installed option rather than a factory-prepped special edition, allowing for modular upgrades to off-road hardware and styling.

Key components of the kit include Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers, a specialized off-road front bumper, enhanced lighting, ‘Tech Bronze’ finished recovery hooks, door sill plates, and a front fender decal package. The 2027 Colorado is also expected to feature an updated 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, the L4B, which produces 350 horsepower.
