• Base Plate Kit Compatibility With A 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71
  I do have a base plate kit that is compatible with your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss but the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit part # RM-523182-5 is not a confirmed fit for the Z71 Trail Boss package. For a base plate kit that is compatible with your vehicle, I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1721 as this is the only base plate kit we have list as a fit with the Z71 and Trail Boss packages. We also have an installation video of this kit installed on a 2015 Chevrolet...

• Can the Automatic Battery Disconnect Be Used On a 2019 GMC Canyon Diesel
  I do have an option for you but the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 will not work on any vehicle with a diesel engine no matter the number of batteries due to power surges.

  A 2018 GMC Canyon with 6 speed manual transmission can be flat towed only if you disconnect the drive shaft.

• Can the Even Brake Supplemental Braking System be Used on a 2015 GMC Canyon
  Yes, you can use the Even Brake supplemental braking system # RM-9400 with your 2015 GMC Canyon. To make sure the braking system is properly positioned and working effectively we also recommend the stoplight switch kit # RM-751472. It will activate the RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied. Without it you would not know if the brake pedal in the Canyon is actually moving or not.
