Yes, you can. The 2021 Chevy Colorado's and their hitches are rated to be used with weight distribution systems. It looks like your Forest River E-Pro 15TB travel trailer tops out at just below 3,900 lbs. Weight distribution systems are recommended off of tongue weight which is typically 10% - 15% of a trailer's total weight. This would put yours around 390 lbs - 585 lbs.
I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37060ET. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs so you will be completely covered. The built in sway control will keep your trailer in line when you are going down the highway and a make a sudden move or get passed by a semi.
The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37060ET includes a 2" shank along with a 2" hitch ball.
I have linked a review video below so you can see the functions of this system.
