Chevy Colorado Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your Colorado into the one that takes a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. CURT builds four hitches for the Chevrolet Colorado from 2004 to 2026, Class 3, rated 4,000 lb to 8,000 lb, from $279.13 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55384 ($54.52 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Colorado's factory connector for 2004 through 2026. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Chevrolet Colorado hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Chevrolet Colorado?
It depends on the year. CURT 13576 is the newest, for 2023 through 2026, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a Colorado with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (800 lb on CURT 13576), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
CURT rates CURT 13576 advanced, about 60 minutes, so expect some trim or drilling work. The main body tucks behind the bumper so only the receiver shows. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a Colorado tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 4,000 lb to 8,000 lb depending on the part, but the Colorado's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
