  • Comparing the Tekonsha P2 and P3 Brake Controllers
  • I can help put your mind at ease about the Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller # 90195. The P2 # 90885 and P3 # 90195 are both made by Tekonsha, and are both great proportional brake controllers. The big difference between the two is that the P3 can also can help to troubleshoot problems in the system, because it also has a full display LCD screen instead of codes that need deciphering. The P3 is Tekonsha's top of the line brake controller and is great for electric over hydraulic systems. As...

  • Longview vs. Snap & Zap Towing Mirrors For 2022 Chevy Colorado
  • Good question, and between the K-Source Snap & Zap and Longview towing mirrors for your 2022 Chevy Colorado, the best option is the Longview, with the correct fit for your '22 Colorado being the following part number: - Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side # LV97RR There are a couple of reasons why I like the Longview # LV97RR over the Snap & Zap # KS99NQ, starting with the mirror face size. The Longview has a wider mirror at 4-1/2 inches compared to the...

  • Comparison of Curt C13176 and etrailer Brand e98909 Class III Hitches on 2022 Chevy Colorado
  • In terms of appearance, install procedure and weight capacity the Curt # C13176 and etrailer brand # e98909 are identical. Both hitches are proudly manufactured in the USA. The only difference between the two is the powder coat finish. The Curt hitch uses a glossy finish, while the etrailer brand hitch uses a matte powder coat. I personally prefer the matte finish because I think it makes the hitch less visible, but that's purely a matter of personal preference.

  • Load Extender Options For Carrying Kayaks
  • Of your options they all are going to get the job done. If you're wanting something that looks the best I would go with the Yakima LongArm Extender # Y01149. If you're not concerned with the looks go with the Malone Axis # MPG907. It has more ground clearance in it's lowest setting but it's width is only adjustable from 24 inches to 48 inches so it may not be wide enough for your application. The Erickson # EM07605 has a 51 inch width so be sure to measure your kayaks width to see which...

  • Thule Camber TH9056 vs Yakima BackRoad YA44FR
  • Both the Thule Camber # TH9056 and the Yakima BackRoad # YA44FR are good choices. The main difference is the straps for your bikes. The Zip Strips on the Yakima will need to be removed every time you put a bike on or off the rack, the Thule straps will stay connected. I would say the Thule option is quicker but not any easier than the Yakima option. The only reason I say that is because you just have to take the extra time to put the zip strip in your pocket or lay it somewhere. If you...

  • Compare SumoSprings SS85FR vs SSR-212-40 for 2016 Chevy Colorado Diesel
  • I can definitely shed some light on the confusion. While the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS85FR and the # SSR-212-40 seem to be exactly identical other than the color, they actually have different-shaped mounting brackets on them to fit different submodels of 2016 Chevy Colorado. I went ahead and attached photos that show this difference. With that being said, you are absolutely correct that the # SS85FR is customized for diesel models. However, the # SSR-212-40...

  • Is There a Locking Gun Case Storage Box Available for the 2016 Chevy Colorado
  • I may have a solution for you, but DuHa does not make an underseat locking gun storage box for any mid size trucks like the 2016 Chevy Colorado. It's not going to be exactly what you're looking for but they do have 2 truck bed mounting options that you could use on your truck with the # DU70103 or the # DU70114 (same as the DU70103 but with mounting brackets). You would also need padlocks for these which you can get with the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlocks - 1/4" Shackle Diameter...

  • What is Difference Between Tow Pro Elite and Liberty Redarc Brake Controllers
  • The Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR has both the proportional mode and time-delayed mode whereas the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR just has the much preferred proportional mode. This allows it to cost a little less. Basically it's the best portion of the Elite without the less frequently used time-delayed feature. Proportional means that it can sense you are pressing the truck brakes and then apply a similar amount of braking power on the trailer brakes whereas time-delayed means it...

  • Comparison of the Curt Hitch and etrailer Hitch for a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13203 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 have more similarities than they do differences. I will start by telling you what both hitches will provide and then point out the differences. Both the Curt and etrailer hitch are going to be made in the USA, have a bolt-on, no-drill installation and provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is going to be the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2022 Chevy Colorado
  • The reason the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 look the same is because they share the same design. Both are Class III hitches with a 2" receiver and have the same installation process. The capacity is the same as well. The only real difference between the two is the finish. The etrailer hitch comes with a matte black powder coat finish and is the reason I would choose it over the Curt. This does a better job of hiding dirt and scratches...

  • Difference Between the Blue Ox Alpha and Avail Tow Bars
  • Both tow bars you referenced will work with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU93FR that you just bought. The biggest difference will be that the Avail part # BX7420 is designed to allow for better maneuverability in tight turns. This is accomplished by having longer arms than the Alpha # BX7380. The Avail also has a 10k capacity whereas the Alpha only has a 6,500 lb capacity. If you think you will need to make some tighter turns I would highly recommend the Avail.

  • Comparing the Access LiteRider Tonneau Cover to the Original Soft Cover on 2019 Chevy Colorado
  • For your 2019 Chevy Colorado, the Access LiteRider Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A32359 for 6 foot bed has a slightly different latch than the Access Original Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A12359. I reached out to the manufacturer confirm the differences. Basically the LiteRider has a spring loaded latch on just the driver's side and a push-pull latch on the passenger side that is not spring loaded. The Original is an upgrade and includes dual spring loaded latches (one on each side)...

  • Durable Towing Mirror For The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado
  • When choosing between the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror # 11650 and the Wheel Masters Eagle Vision Universal Extendable Towing Mirrors # WM6600-2 I'm giving the edge to # WM6600-2 when it comes to build quality. The CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror # 11650 is very stable and offers a pretty wide adjustable range for mirror placement and also includes non-scratch mounting pads to protect your vehicle. But the Eagle Vision Universal Extendable Towing Mirrors # WM6600-2 seem more durable....

  • Difference Between Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2020 Chevy Colorado
  • There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 that fit your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, which is the finish. The Curt trailer hitch has a glossy black finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish; other than that everything is equal, such as their 6,000 lb towing/900 lb tongue weight capacities, as well as the installation. The two have hidden crosstubes which means only the receiver is showing (see...

  • Is the Extang Xceed Hard Tonneau Cover Secure and What Is the Warranty
  • Yes. The Extang Xceed Hard Tonneau Cover # EX85350 has a release mechanism that is only accessible when the tailgate is open, so it does provide great security for the items in your truck bed. As with any tonneau cover you will want to keep snow from building up on the cover in large amounts, but it's going to hold up just fine to the elements and comes with a 3 year warranty. Adam did a great review video of this same tonneau on his truck that shows some of the features and how it works...
