Whether you are hauling a boat to the New River or transporting heavy equipment across Jacksonville and Richlands, choosing a truck with the right capabilities is essential. The 2026 Chevrolet truck lineup has been engineered to push the boundaries of performance, offering a diverse range of powerplants designed to handle everything from daily commutes to the most demanding industrial jobs in North Carolina. At Marine Chevrolet, we want to ensure you have the precise data needed to make an informed decision for your lifestyle or business.
Our updated guide provides a comprehensive look at the new Chevrolet trucks for the 2026 model year, including the mid-size Colorado, the versatile Silverado 1500, the innovative Silverado EV, and the powerhouse Silverado HD. By reviewing the specific horsepower, torque, and towing capacities of each trim, you can find the perfect match for your trailering needs near Camp Lejeune. If you’re looking for a great deal on these latest models, be sure to browse our new vehicle specials before you visit.
The 2026 Colorado is the ultimate mid-size pickup for those who need a truck that is as capable as it is maneuverable in downtown Jacksonville traffic.
Best Uses: Perfect for local adventures, towing small trailers, or navigating tight trails. It’s an excellent choice for Jacksonville drivers who want a “garageable” truck that can still pull a mid-size boat or a pair of ATVs.
The Silverado 1500 offers the widest variety of engine options, allowing you to prioritize either fuel efficiency for long North Carolina highway hauls or pure towing muscle. If you are ready to see these specs in person, we invite you to browse our current new Chevy truck inventory today.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing | Max Payload |

| 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 | 355 hp | 383 lb-ft | 11,300 lbs. | 2,080 lbs. |

| 3.0L Duramax® Diesel | 305 hp | 495 lb-ft | 13,300 lbs. | 1,970 lbs. |
Best Uses: The TurboMax and 5.3L V8 are great for general utility and standard trailers. The 6.2L V8 and Duramax Diesel (with the Max Trailering Package) are the top picks for towing large travel trailers or heavy boats, with the Diesel offering superior fuel economy for long-haul trips across Onslow County.
The 2026 Silverado EV combines zero-emissions driving with the utility of a full-size truck, featuring the unique Multi-Flex Midgate for extra storage versatility.
Best Uses: Ideal for tech-savvy owners and modern job sites. Its massive torque provides effortless towing, while the onboard Power Bar (offering up to 10.2kW of power) can run heavy-duty tools or even backup your home during local power outages.
For the most extreme tasks in North Carolina, the Silverado Heavy Duty (2500 & 3500) remains the gold standard for strength and durability.
Best Uses: The 2500 HD is the go-to for fifth-wheel campers and ranch work. The 3500 HD, especially in a Dual Rear Wheel (Dually) configuration, is designed for commercial-grade hauling, including heavy machinery, large horse trailers, and massive flatbeds used across Jacksonville.
When properly equipped with the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine or the 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel and the Max Trailering Package, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 lbs. This makes it ideal for hauling large boats or travel trailers across North Carolina.
Yes! The 2026 Silverado EV is incredibly capable, offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,500 lbs. It also produces up to 785 lb-ft of torque, providing instant power that rivals even the strongest heavy-duty gas engines.
The 2026 Chevy Colorado is often cited as the best daily driver for Jacksonville residents. Its mid-size frame makes it easier to park in downtown Jacksonville or near Camp Lejeune, yet it still offers a best-in-class 7,700 lbs of towing capacity for weekend adventures.
For the most demanding commercial jobs, the 2026 Silverado 3500 HD equipped with the Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 can tow a massive 36,000 lbs when using a gooseneck or fifth-wheel configuration.
