Expert Answers about Chevrolet Colorado


  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Colorado
  • We have really solid universal style tow mirrors that we've tested and used on similar Chevy Colorados as your 2019 model like with the part # KS3990 but we don't have any custom-fit slip-on style at this time. Most likely due the fact your truck isn't as popular as a tow vehicle as other trucks. But the # KS3990 does install easily, is dual angle, and is really stable so it would work well for you. I attached an install video link for these mirrors on a 2017 Colorado for you to check...

  • We have really great tow mirror solutions for your 2018 Chevy Colorado like the # KS3891-2 which have tested on similar Colorados as yours but the # 11501 you referenced does not fit. I attached an install video for this mirror set on a similar 2017 Colorado as yours for you to check out as well.

  • Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module Wiring
  • Whenever wiring Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # # PP20-702 the yellow wires must go to each brake/turn signal and the green wire goes to the 3rd brake light. The reason why you need to hook both up is because the logic module filters out the turn signals and applies only the brake, so wiring only one may cause it to not work properly.

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension Kit Fit a 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2
  • I spoke with RoadActive Suspension and confirmed that the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS4617 is indeed a fit for a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. In regards to fitment, RoadActive was not aware of any shock clearance issues but they did state that you would have to change out the shackles which are included so no worries here. That said, there are adjustment that can be made during installation which should then alleviate any clearance issues. As noted,...

  • Will CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors Fit the 2018 Chevy Colorado
  • We do provide tow mirror solutions for your 2018 Chevy Colorado but the Custom Towing Mirror # CM10951 is designed for Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra models so they would not be a fit. This universal fit mirror set available from K-Source # KS3990 is my recommendation. In the included video you can see how these look installed, a solid overview of the product, and a road test to see how these perform.

  • Are Tire Chains Compatible with Anti Lock Brakes
  • Generally speaking, you are better off to have anti lock brakes rather than not to have them in any weather. You would have to contact your dealer/manufacturer to see what they advise specifically. For the most part, it is important to select correctly sized chains and to make sure you have enough clearance for chains around the wheel well, and behind the wheel where brake lines and steering struts work. The 2019 Colorado came with three tire options. I am showing options for light duty...

  • Can 2021 Chevrolet Colorado 4X4 be Flat Towed Behind RV
  • On page 300 of your owners manual I was able to determine that your 2021 Chevy Colorado 4x4 can be flat towed as long as it has a neutral and a 4 low setting like you mentioned. Also on page 300 (and into 301) is the complete process you'd need to follow. The 2WD models cannot be flat towed. For a base plate kit you'd then need the Roadmaster Direct Connect part # RM37VR which is the easiest to use option that fits. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow...

  • Recommended Diode Kit and Wiring for 2018 Chevy Colorado

Then you will simply need the 6 way plug like # RM-910030-7 and the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. I've attached some videos to assist.

  • Tonneau Cover for 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2 With Sport Bar
  • There is one tonneau cover I can confirm is a fit for a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 with the Sport Bar, though it isn't the Pace Edwards. I researched with our tonneau cover manufacturers and the tonneau cover that does fit this truck with the Sport Bar is the TruXedo Lo Pro. For your '19 Chevy Colorado, the correct fit is going to depend on your bed size: - 5 foot 2 inch bed: TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX549901 - 6 foot bed: TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover...

  • 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 3.6L V6 Weight Distribution for Lance 2185 Trailer
  • The most your trailer could safely ever weigh is 6,000 lbs according to the specs I found on your Lance 2185. This is under the weight capacity of your truck but a weight distribution system would be a very wise choice to help you tow safer. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached...

  • What Size Weight Distribution System is Needed for a Coachmen Apex Ultra Lite Travel Trailer
  • In order to make sure you have the correct size weight distribution system you need to weigh the loaded ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer and add that to any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The trailer tongue weight can be found with either a tongue weight scale like part # e99044 or a commercial truck scale. The manufacturer does indeed list the tongue weight for trailers but this is dry tongue weight and should not be used in the above calculations for a...

  • BAK Hard Tonneau Cover Compatible with Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack for 2016 Colorado
  • The Thule TracRac ladder rack that fits your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with 6-foot bed is kit # TH43002XT-783. Or if you want the rack with the 3rd cantilever bar for over the cab you can instead install kit # TH43002XT-783EX. Since both of these ladder racks install on top of the truck's bed rails you can use the compatible BAK Revolver X2 hard tonneau cover # BAK39125 that installs inside the bed rails.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Chevy Colorado behind Motorhome
  • The first thing you need to flat tow your 2020 Chevy Colorado is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster # RM-523182-5 which fits your truck and provides the connection point for a tow bar. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2019 Colorado for you to check out as well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain,...

  • Automatic and Manual Settings On The Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller

The Power Boost settings can be set for towing a variety of trailer weights. The manual override switch is always available for emergency braking when the boost is not activated.

  • Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 is confirmed to fit your 2022Chevrolet Colorado. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver. The 2" hitch receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you are needing a bike rack, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR. The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR will hold 2 bikes up to 66 lbs....

  • Installation of Weston Grill Guard for 2021 Chevy Colorado
  • We haven't had the chance to install the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # W58RV on any vehicles yet, but there are detailed instructions included with the grille guard that walk through the steps and provide photos. I've linked instructions for a similar Westin grille guard to give you an idea of what to expect but it will likely require some trimming of the plastic fascia around the grille area and you'll bolt up directly to the frame at the front...

  • Rock Guard For Flat Towing 2021 Chevy Colorado
  • Since the owner's manual of a 2021 Chevy Colorado specifies that a rock guard should not block the front grill of the truck, the only option for a guard to keep the front of the truck from getting dinged from debris is from Roadmaster: - Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 The Tow Defender screening lays flat across the tow bar and is made of nylon mesh so it won't interfere with the front of your '21 Colorado, so this is exactly what you will need in order to keep...
