  • Recommended Ladder Rack Compatible with Pace Edwards Switchblade for 2020 Chevy Colorado
  • Yes. You can use the Adarac Pro Series # A4000950 with a tonneau cover like the Pace Edwards Switchblade # 311-SWCA03A25, since the Pro Series mounts using the stake pockets and the Switchblade mounts inside the bed rails. I've linked a short review video on these parts for you to have a look at.

  • TracRac Ladder Rack and Cover Fitment on a 2017 Chevy Colorado
  • For a Thule TracRac ladder rack combination to fit the bed of your 2017 Chevy Colorado along with a tonneau cover you need the following combination of parts: - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-783 - BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK92VR These fit a 6' Bed so if you have a different TracRac ladder rack with the traditional clamp-on system then there unfortunately aren't any ladder rack/tonneau cover options that fit together.

  • Does The Pilot Light Need To Be Turned Off On An RV Water Heater While Refueling Tow Vehicle
  • The pilot light would be covered enough by components/door of the water heater to not have to worry about it igniting the gasoline while refueling unless you were directly spraying gas on door of the water heater. The Dometic RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 120 Volt - 10,000 Btu - 6 Gal Tank # DMC74FR is a WH-6GEA model so it would be a correct replacement for your current water heater.

  • How To Use Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison
  • I do have an option for you but Blue Ox does not offer a base plate kit for a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison. The only option we do have for this vehicle is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM33VR. That said, you can use this base plate kit with a Blue Ox tow bar like the Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar part # BX4370 when you add an adapter, the Roadmaster Adapter Kit for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars pat # RO64FR.

  • Can Rock Guard be Used in Front of 2019 Chevy Colorado Being Flat Towed
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2019 Chevy Colorado and on page 315 of the online version it states "Use of a shield mounted in front of the vehicle grille guard could restrict airflow and cause damage to the transmission ... If using a shield, only use one that attaches to the towing vehicle." Due to this I strongly recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 which has a mesh screen to protect the front of your Colorado and still provide air to...

  • Baseplate Instructions And Recommended Light Kit For A 2021 Chevy Colorado
  • If you're wanting the installation instructions for the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU93FR that you were looking at then I've attached them below. As for the light kit, Blue Ox doesn't have a plug-in option for your Colorado so you'll have to go with a Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. The battery will need to be disconnected in order to flat tow your Colorado so I also recommend picking up the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 to make disconnecting/connecting...

  • Trailer Hitch Suggestion for 2022 Chevy Colorado LT
  • We do indeed offer hitch options for the 2022 Chevy Colorado. Of the available options, I'd recommend the US made etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98909. The hitch has a 8000 lb towing/800 lb tongue weight capacity, which actually exceeds the towing capacity of the truck itself, so there's no doubt that the hitch is tough. For a trailer wiring harness and trailer connector that provides both a 7-way and a 4 pole trailer connector, use part # HM40975-11998. For a ball mount, use...

  • 2018 Chevy Colorado Blue Ox Base Plate Fitment with Aventa II Tow Bar

  • Can I Use Just the Upper Basket of the Viking Solutions Stack Rack II?
  • The great thing about the Viking Solutions Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 is that both baskets have a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds (300 combined). If you just want to store cargo in the upper (smaller) basket of the carrier in order to ensure visibility of your vehicle's license plate, that option will work on your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado. However, there still might be some partial blockage of your license plate do to carrier bars on the bottom basket. If you need a hitch to mount...

  • Installing Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Cross bars for a Hullavator on a 2020 Chevy Colorado
  • You won't cut the item # RRVA150B-2 59" crossbars at all because you need the extra length to use the Hullavator item # TH898. You will need to cut the measuring strips in accordance to the new location the 59" bars will be mounted not the 49" because the cuts will be to far inside the longer legs. It has to extend at least 4" past where your standard bars would for the Hullavator's lift assist function to work properly. I looked at the instructions and there is no 32" measurement. What...

These are not going to be the slide in style like what you're looking at, but will just as easily install by clamping onto your current mirrors.

  • What Do You Recommend for a Kayak Carrier for 2015 Colorado with a Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover?
  • I have a great suggestion for you. Unfortunately, there are no truck-rack system options that are easily removable when not in use. However, for a rack system that is compatible with your Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover, I recommend the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4001226. The Adarac Ladder Rack installs into the stake pockets and sits on top of the side of the truck beds (allowing for the clearance of the Bakflip MX4). In addition to the Adarac Ladder Rack, I recommend...
