To address the trailer sway you're experencing when you are towing your 4,100 lbs Flagstaff travel trailer I recommend the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU36FR.
The Blue Ox system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs which will work perfect with your 4,100 lbs trailer. This system has built in sway sway control that will keep your trailer in line, with your Colorado, when you are driving down the highway.
The no-drill, clamp-on brackets will hold the spring bars in place and can be mounted wherever convenient along your trailers tongue. The positive caster angle in the hitch head keeps your trailer centered and helps prevent sway before it begins.
I have linked a review video below that I you should check out.
I also recommend the Classic Accessories Tow Bar and Weight Distribution Tote item # CA80113. This heavy duty bag is perfect for storing your weight distributing hitch. It is 36" x 11" Wide x 8" Tall and has padding that prevents damage to your hitch and prevents dings to your vehicle's cargo area from shifting gear.
