Helpful Expert Reply:
You can mount a generator in a cargo carrier on the front of your 2021 Chevy Colorado by adding a front-mounted hitch (so long as it is not a ZR2 model). First, let's start with the front hitch that fits your '21 Colorado:
- Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31074
The # C31074 has a 500 lb vertical load (think tongue weight) capacity and 2 inch receiver, so you'll just need a cargo carrier with a 2 inch shank that has the size and capacity needed to carry your generator; the correct one is the following:
- 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # PS1040100
(Lockable with Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880)
The Reese carrier has a 400 lb capacity and measures 48" long x 32" wide, which is wider than other carriers so it's perfect for a generator.
