We have exactly what you will need. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98909 offers the 2" reciever and can handle up to 8,000 lbs. when towing giving you a little wiggle room.
For wiring the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998 is the way to go. Not only does it have the 7-way but also a 4-way for different trailers eliminating the need for any type of adapters.
I have linked installation videos on each of these on a 2020 Colorado for you to check out.
