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...

  • 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
  • For your 2018 Chevy Colorado, I recommend the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System with 4-Pole Connector # TR118821 or the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. 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.

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Recommended Upgraded Weight Distribution Hitch for Forest River Wolf Pup 16FQ
  • In regards to weight distribution, the models with integrated sway control are much better and easier to use than the models with a separate friction sway control like EAZ Lift. For an upgrade, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA92-00-0800 which is one of the best bang for your buck systems on the market. It preforms very well and is much easier to setup than the chain style with friction sway bar. There are no modifications required on the trailer.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover For a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado
  • I recommend the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTX74TR for your 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. I prefer this cover as it is easily retractable and can lock in several positions so you can open it slightly for odd sized loads while still protecting items in your bed. The slats on the cover are a polycarbonate so it will not scratch or fade over time like painted and vinyl options. Also the cover is capable of supporting up to 200lbs and it does included T-Slots which will allow you to add...

  • What Tow Mirrors do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy Colorado?
  • For a great set of towing mirrors for your 2022 Chevy Colorado, I recommend the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side # LV97RR. Apart from extending your view when towing, these mirrors with a super clean, factory look. Other mirrors we carry like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2 come with bulky straps that take away from the overall aesthetic of your brand new truck. The Longview mirrors also come with internal pads to prevent the opportunity...

  • Solution for Securing Front Bike Wheels with Truck Bed Bike Rack
  • The Thule Front Wheel Carrier # TH98BV that you referenced may physically fit the crossbar for the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack # S64701 but I can't recommend doing this. The Swagman Patrol isn't designed to support this type of carrier and since they haven't been tested together I can't guarantee it will keep the wheel in place during trips. The Thule Front Wheel Carrier is designed to mount to standard roof rack crossbars that can handle a lot more weight and have a more secure attachment...

  • What is Recommended Square Bar Length for Thule Roof Rack on 2017 Chevy Colorado
  • Thule changed their square crossbar design a while back and when they did this some of the recommended bar lengths changed. The answer page you found was one that was done several years ago with the older recommended bar that was longer. Currently the new bar design uses the longer 53 inch crossbar setup with part numbers # TH712400, # TH480R, and # THKIT1714.

This hitch is Made in the USA, will fit all models of the 2022 Colorado and has a bolt-on, no drill installation. This hitch will also provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size opening used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.

  • Recommended Floor Liners For A 2023 Chevy Colorado
  • Yes we do carry floor mats that will fit your 2023 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab. I recommend the Hopkins semi custom mats # HM79101. The mats are a heavy duty waterproof PVC and are grey in color. PVC is durable and easy to clean, so they are ideal for a work truck that will see a lot of use. These are semi-custom floor mats meaning you will need to do some trimming to get the perfect fit. Each mat has built in trim guides so it is very easy to do. This set includes both the front and rear mats.

  • Recommended Brake Line Kit With Flexible Hoses For Single Axle Boat Trailer
  • We do have flexible brake line kits available but the brake kits we offer do not have all flexible lines in them. The Titan Disc Brake Kit, part # T4843300 has steel lines in the kit. This is the way the kit is received from our supplier. You can order a brake line kit with flexible brake lines. I recommend part # 18SI-BLKIT. This kit would work well if you want to replace the rigid lines in the # T4843300 kit.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Colorado
  • I spoke with the manufacturer and there is not a custom fit towing mirror for the 2008 Chevrolet Colorado at this time. However, part number # KS3891, is our most popular universal tow mirror. It's very easy to install and comes with a ratcheting strap to adjust the tension for a nearly perfect fit every time. We had a customer come back with a 2007 Colorado and say these fit and worked well.
