Consult the owner's manual. That trailer will probably have more tongue weight than the receiver will handle without WD. The Colorado will drive and handle better with WD too.
Do you REALLY think that trailer will have more tongue weight than his receivers limits? Here is what the OP said about the trailer he is getting.
" The trailer is a Travel Lite Idea 2.0 that is 2970 lbs. dry, 18'9" hitch to bumper, 16' box length, 7' wide and 9' high." I would suspect that his loaded tongue weight will not be much more than around 400lbs. That is well within the weight carrying ability of almost every receiver that I am aware of.
I do agree however that the Andersen hitch would make a good match for his trailer and that WD will give him some benefits already mentioned.
