There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 that fit your 2021 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 8,000 lb towing/800 lb tongue weight capacities, as well as the installation.

The two have hidden crosstubes which means only the receiver is showing, so the different finishes - which give them slightly different looks - are probably not going to be a huge factor in your choice. If it were my 2021 Chevy Colorado, I would just buy the hitch that is easier on the wallet between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909.

I have added links to video installs of both trailer hitches on a 2021 Chevy Colorado for you to check out as well.
