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... view full answer...
The difference is that the Curt Trailer Hitch # CU29FR has a glossy black finish while the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e56YR has a matte black finish. Aside from that these will be exactly the same for your 2022 Chevy Traverse.
I recommend going with the etrailer hitch because the matte black coating will blend in better with the trim on your vehicle and do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris than the glossy finish will.

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. view full answer...
They do look similar but the # BXW0550 is designed for standard trailer couplers and the # BXW0553 is designed for underslung couplers. In order to make sure this will work for your trailer you'll want to make sure your tongue weight falls between 350-lbs and 550-lbs, has trailer frame height between 3" and 6" and up to 2-5/8" wide. It sounds like your frame is 4" x 4", so you wouldn't want to use the included clamp on chain hangers. Instead of the clamp on hangers you could either use... view full answer...
While you are correct that there are other autosliding 5th wheel hitch options out there, we currently (December of 2019) only carry the Demco Hijacker solution for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory prep package and this includes the Rail Adapter Kit # DM6333 along with either the 18K # DM8550034 or the 21K # DM8550035 Hijacker.
I know you mentioned the PullRite SuperGlide and while that is a viable option that does a great job, the Hijacker actually has more to offer. The Hijacker... view full answer...
In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD - 6-1/2 Foot Bed, the part # C14108 will sit closer to the bumper like the factory hitch when compared to the part # 14211. The latter has a higher class rating which requires more material i.e. gussets so it won't sit as closer to bumper. view full answer...
While both 30k 5th wheel hitches that fit the puck system of your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 have high-quality jaw systems, between the Curt PowerRide # C36WR and Demco UMS Double Pivot # DM47GV, the better jaw system is on the latter, the Demco UMS # DM47GV.
The reason why the Demco's jaw system is a notch above the Curt's interlocking jaw system is because the Demco's jaw system is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed. The reinforced jaw system... view full answer...
Between the Pacer Performance Hi-Five LED Truck Cab Lights # PP20-265 and the # PP20-265S the non-smoked version would give off a brighter light.
Any time you put tinting on a lights lens you end up reducing the brightness of the lights behind them. This is especially true for LEDs as they do not handle tint as well as incandescent bulbs. view full answer...
We do have headache racks that fit the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but we don't have the Aries Classic model for this vehicle.
Of the headache racks that fit your Silverado, the one closest in price to the # AA111000 that you referenced is the Buyers Products Kabgard Headache Rack - Black Powder Coated Steel, part # 33785104. It may not have the same look as the Aries Classic, but as you can see in the video review I've linked to below, it can accommodate toolboxes and does a good job... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523193-5 will simply connect to your Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 directly instead of utilizing the crossbar between the tabs on each side of your Equinox. The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523193-4 will connect to your tow bar utilizing the crossbar between the tabs.
One style is not better than the other as far as function and fit so it mostly comes down to preference. The... view full answer...
When towing a heavy trailer with your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the rear suspension will most likely drop due to the added weight placed on the vehicle. This added weight is going to cause issues such as improper headlight aim, poor braking, and an overall decreased sense of handling. Therefore, suspension enhancements like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK15S are needed.
The Timbrens work by placing a dense piece of rubber spring between the frame and rear... view full answer...
First one reason there are so many kits for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is due to the Trail Boss coming with a suspension lift right from the factory. So half the available kits can only be used on the Trail Boss trim level.
There are going to be 2 kits that are available. First is the kit I always recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate. These air bags have internal jounce bumpers which help reduce bounce that you may get from the additional load. The bumpers also help... view full answer...
There are some subtle differences between Curt trailer hitches # C11282 and # C11425. The receiver is longer on # C11425 so it stick out further and they don't have all the same vehicle fits.
Hitch # C11282 fits the 2011 to 2015 Cruze excluding diesels models, 2016 Cruze Limited models, and the 2012 to 2017 Buick Verano excluding turbo and dual exhaust models.
Hitch # C11425 fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited models and 2015 Chevrolet Cruze models except for the diesel models.

The Curt wiring harness, # 56094 and the Tow Ready harness # 118264, are for different variations of a 2012 Chevy Equinox. Tow Ready harness # 118264 is designed for vehicles that have a factory tow package. Curt harness # 56094 is for a vehicle that does not have the factory tow package.
You are correct in that the Curt harness would receive power through the vehicle wiring to the trailer lights. Any problem could affect the vehicle electrical system.

As you mentioned not towing all the time, I do not recommend going with the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-203-47-2. This will be far to heavy duty as is intended more for full time towing or an in-bed camper. Your suspension will end up being affected pretty severely when not under load, so I suggest one of the lower rated options.
Specifically the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-203-40-2. This is also a two piece design, which I do like, is rated up to 3,000 pounds of carrying capacity (at 50% compression).... view full answer...
The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP84FR contains the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP57FR and Rail Kit # RP30153. The mounting brackets are multiple pieces and do not require drilling to install on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Do note that certain trucks have threaded inserts in the frame you will need additional hardware from your local Chevrolet dealer(See install instructions below).

The rubber boots seen on the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 just help to prevent debris from getting into the outer arms when the inner arms retract back in. It's not really that big of a problem since you wouldn't really be off-roading a lot while flat towing and kick up dirt onto the tow bar but it is nice to have.
An alternative to this would be to use some dry silicone spray like # RM-747 on the arms of the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e47ZR to lubricate the arms... view full answer...
In regards to the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kits like part # LC696740, the only difference between the blue powder coated option and yellow powder coated option is that yellow denotes aftermarket and blue denotes factory. In other words, if the equalizers are blue then that means they came from the factory whereas if they are yellow they were installed after the fact. view full answer...
The Fulton Single Axle White Plastic Trailer Fender with Top and Side Steps # F008572 that you referenced is intended for trailers that use 12-inch diameter wheels. This USA-made fender has a 300-lb weight capacity.
