etrailer Trailer Hitch Installation - 2021 Chevrolet Colorado Video

For a winch like the Superwinch S6000 Winch #CU854754 you will simply want to use the Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit #BDW20207. Since winches can vary on how much they can pull this also affects how much power they need. For a winch…

I attached a diagram that shows how to match all of the wire colors of the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector #HM11141144 to the wire colors on your 2017 GMC Canyon.

The pin-out for a 7-way trailer connector is pretty consistent. Unless the connector was wired incorrectly, it should be wired as shown in the provided photo showing the correct pin-out. What CAN vary is the wire color codes, which are also shown in…

Your 2017 Chevy Colorado might have the round socket already to allow the part #HM40975 to install without needing the wiring harness. But if you did not have the connector the part #HM40975-11998 will fit and work well. Check out the install video I…

I recommend installing the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13176 on your 2019 GMC Canyon because it is an easier installation than most of the other options and it has the safety chain loops located under the receiver for easier access. I…

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

I'd recommend the #HM40975 which would provide both a 4-pole and a 7-way connector. This is what GM uses as the OEM trailer connector. The HM40975 would plug into the round US car connector that is plugged into the knockout next to the license…
