2026 Chevrolet Colorado Pricing Doesn't Break The Bank
The Colorado is now approaching its third model year after arriving for 2023, and with only small changes, GM has not seen fit to overly inflate the price. By contrast, other 2026 arrivals across all sorts of segments - like the GMC Acadia, the BMW M5, and the Chevrolet Trax - have all swelled by four figures for the new model year. Of course, there are varying reasons for varying price adjustments, but it's still a welcome relief when a small one happens.
Kicking off the range is the base Colorado WT, which sees a $500 increase to start at $32,400, excluding destination. Next up is the LT, which only goes up 200 bucks to a nice round $36,000. Then it's the Colorado Trail Boss and Z71, which match the WT's $500 increase to start at $40,400 and $44,400, respectively. Finally, the most expensive model in the range, the ZR2, saw the biggest price increase for 2026 at $900, now starting at $50,500. For the extra money, no major changes will be made, but buyers will be able to choose from White Sands paint, which is currently available on the Trailblazer, and new 20-inch wheel options.

Those willing to shop around might consider the Ford Ranger, which for the 2025 model year starts at $33,350 in base XL form and goes up to $56,070 in Raptor guise. Alternatively, the Toyota Tacoma arrives at a significantly lower price point, with its SR starting at just $31,590, but with 11 trims available for 2025, there's a lot more room to spend, particularly when you get to the hybrid trims. In its priciest form (TRD Pro), the Tacoma starts at $64,135. The cheapest pickup in this segment, however, is the Nissan Frontier S, starting at $32,050 and going up to $41,810 in SL form. All of the above prices exclude destination and apply to 2025 variants of the Colorado's rivals, so there will probably be similar increases when Ford, Toyota, and Nissan release 2026 pricing.

8 Popular Car Brands To Stay Away From in Retirement
Buying a car in retirement isn't just about style or performance; it's about long-term value and reliability. With a fixed income and fewer daily driving needs, retirees should prioritize vehicles that are affordable to maintain over time. Unfortunately, some popular car brands come with surprisingly high upkeep costs that can drain your savings. Consider This: Read Next: If you want to protect your budget and peace of mind, consider not just the cost of your new car, but also the cost to keep it running through your retirement. According to CarEdge, these are the top eight most expensive car brands to maintain along with some of their pricier 2025 models. Ram You might have favored certain makes and models in the past, but now that you've entered a new chapter in your life, it might be time to reevaluate. The industry average for maintenance costs for popular brands is $8,303, making Ram's over $20,000 estimate a steep bill to consider. Moreover, CarEdge found that there is a 68% chance that your Ram will need a major repair within 10 years, which is considerably worse — over 43% worse — than other auto manufacturers studied. Average 10-year maintenance costs for Ram models: $21,595 Ram 3500 10-year maintenance costs: $27,445 Ram 2500 10-year maintenance costs: $27,423 Ram 1500 10-year maintenance costs: $19,357 Jeep It's wise to research car maintenance costs, so you don't accidentally buy a new car that requires pricey upkeep that will eat into your fixed income and Social Security benefits. Jeeps are often on many mechanics' lists of car models to avoid due to their higher than average 10-year maintenance and repair costs. With a jeep, there is a 32% chance your vehicle will need a major repair within the first 10 years of ownership, whereas the industry average sits at a little over 24%. Here are a few of the pricier options to maintain: Average 10-year maintenance costs for Jeep models: $11,690 Jeep Gladiator 10-year maintenance costs: $12,679 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L/ Jeep Grand Wagoneer 10-year maintenance costs: $12,375/ $12,269 Jeep Wrangler 10-year maintenance costs: $11,664 Jeep Grand Cherokee 10-year maintenance costs: $11,217 Learn More: Chrysler When you are budgeting out your monthly expenses in retirement, you plan on gas and insurance costs for your car, but excessive maintenance may put you over what you have allotted. If you decide to purchase a Chrysler, you'll have to factor in maintenance costs that are $3,064 higher than the average. This is in addition to the 32% chance of your car needing a major repair. Here are a few specific models you may want to dodge in retirement: Average 10-year maintenance costs for Chrysler models: $11,367 Chrysler Pacifica 10-year maintenance costs: $11,520 Chrysler Voyager 10-year maintenance costs: $11,207 Dodge If you want to be both fiscally and frugally responsible as a retiree, make sure you don't invest in cars that will cost you more than just standard wear and tear on your wallet. The $11,352 average maintenance and repair cost for Dodge vehicles is $3,049 over the industry average, meaning retirees will have to account for that added expense when budgeting. Similar to the Chrysler and Jeep brands, Dodge also has a 32% chance of requiring a major repair within the first 10 years of owning the vehicle. Here are some 2025 Dodge models that can be expensive to upkeep: Average 10-year maintenance costs for Dodge models: $11,352 Dodge Durgango 10-year maintenance costs: $11,768 Dodge Hornet 10-year maintenance costs: $10,934 Ford Just because something is built Ford tough doesn't mean it won't be hard on your finances. The cost to maintain and repair your Ford over 10 years will run an average of $10,392, which is $2,089 over the average for popular brands overall. And the chance your vehicle will need a major repair during that time is approximately 7% worse than the standard. If you want to stretch your nest egg a bit further in retirement, you may want to consider alternative modes of transportation. Average 10-year maintenance costs for Ford models: $10,392 Ford F-150 to Ford F-450 10-year maintenance costs: $11,367 to $16,170 Ford Expedition 10-year maintenance costs: $10,302 Ford Bronco 10-year maintenance costs: $10,159 Ford Explorer 10-year maintenance costs: $9,766 Chevrolet Chevrolet is another popular car brand with a steeper than average 10-year maintenance and repair cost — $1,359 higher to be exact. With a 28% chance of your Chevy needing a major repair, which is 4% worse than other auto manufacturers studied, retirees may have to contend with costlier mechanic bills alongside their other necessary expenses. Average 10-year maintenance costs for Chevrolet models: $9,662 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to Chevrolet Silverado 3500 10-year maintenance costs: $11,045 to $15,497 Chevrolet Colorado 10-year maintenance costs: $10,713 Chevrolet Suburban 10-year maintenance costs: $10,108 Chevrolet Tahoe 10-year maintenance costs: $10,029 GMC It may seem counterintuitive to expect the unexpected, but when it comes to car expenses, you may need more than your emergency savings to cover some of these maintenance costs. GMC models on average will cost retirees nearly $9,500 in maintenance and repairs over 10 years. Not only that, but GMC vehicles have a 28% chance of requiring a major repair. Average 10-year maintenance costs for GMC models: $9,467 GMC Sierra 1500 to GMC Sierra 3500 10-year maintenance costs: $10,002 to $14,014 GMC Canyon 10-year maintenance costs: $9,568 GMC Yukon XL 10-year maintenance costs: $9.373 Buick Buick may bill itself as exceptional by design, but that design could cost you with an average 10-year maintenance and repair cost that's $715 higher than the industry average. While this may not seem like a lot, every dollar counts if you're living with a fixed income. Add to that the 25% chance of your car needing a major repair, which is 1% worse than other manufacturers, and you might want to consider avoiding these models in your golden years. Average 10-year maintenance costs for Buick models: $9,018 Buick Enclave 10-year maintenance costs: $9,322 Buick Envision 10-year maintenance costs: $9,105 Buick Encore GX 10-year maintenance costs: $8,857 Editor's note: Data sourced via CarEdge, and is accurate as of Jul. 31, 2025.

All-Pro Zach Allen Agrees To 4-Year, $102 Million Extension With Broncos
The Denver Broncos are signing All-Pro defensive lineman Zach Allen to a four-year deal worth $102 million, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Saturday. Speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly, the person said the deal includes about $70 million in guarantees. Allen is the second veteran to sign a big extension with the Broncos this summer. Earlier this week, wide receiver Courtland Sutton signed a four-year, $92 million deal that included $41 million in guaranteed money. A third-round pick by Arizona out of Boston College in 2019, Allen joined the Broncos two years ago, following defensive coordinator Vance Joseph to Denver. He had five sacks in his first season in Denver and a career-best 8 1/2 sacks last season when he earned second-team All-Pro honors. Allen, who turns 28 this month, also set career bests last year with 15 tackles for loss and 40 quarterback hits. Other Broncos angling for new contracts this summer include rising star linebacker Nik Bonitto and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Inside the Zach Allen deal
The Broncos and defensive lineman Zach Allen have worked out a new, four-year deal. For Allen, it's his third NFL contract. We've tracked down the details on the four-year, $102 million extension. Here they are, per a source with knowledge of the terms: 1. Signing bonus: $24 million. 2. 2025 base salary: $2.49 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2025 per-game roster bonuses: $510,000 total, fully guaranteed, but must be earned. 4. 2026 base salary: $16.485 million, fully guaranteed. 5. 2026 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total, fully guaranteed, but must be earned. 6. 2027 base salary: $22.235 million, guaranteed for injury at signing, with $15.75 million becoming fully guaranteed in March 2026 and the remaining $6.485 million becoming fully guaranteed in March 2027. 7. 2027 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total, guaranteed for injury at signing and becoming fully guaranteed in March 2027. 8. 2028 base salary: $21.735 million. Of that amount, $2.25 million is guaranteed for injury at signing and becomes fully guaranteed in March 2027. 9. 2028 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total. 10. 2029 base salary: $24.480 million 11. 2029 per-game roster bonuses: $1.02 million total. The deal has $44.25 million fully guaranteed at signing, with a practical guarantee of $60 million. By March of the third year, $69.5 million becomes fully guaranteed. In comparison to defensive tackles who signed actual extensions (not a rip-up deal like Aaron Donald did), it's the highest APY at $25.5 million per year. The timing works out perfectly for Allen. He turns 28 this month. If he'd been tagged in 2026, he would have been hitting the market in the year he turns 30. From the Broncos' perspective, the move shows a willingness and ability to identify their most talented and valued players, and to get them paid far faster than certain other teams do. Which is one of the ingredients in becoming a championship organization.
