2016 Chev Colorado towing questions
I just purchased (deliver next week:B) a 2016 Colorado Z71 that I would eventually like to tow (currently use my 2013 Edge).
According to the owners manual, you have to disconnect the negative cable from the battery when towing so of course there is no power to any lights etc.
So my questions are:
1. I have a Blue Ox Patriot braking system that plugs into the lighter socket for power. Anyone have a suggestion how I can provide power just for the braking system?
2. I currently use magnetic lights on the rear of the Edge when towing, however with the Colorado (just first impressions) there seems no place to mount them (there is a tonneau cover on the box).
Any easy alternative suggestions?
3. Also planning to put the Blue Ox base plate on myself (have done it on my last two toads). Has anyone done this and have any comments on ease/difficulty etc?
thanks
Chris
