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."
Yes. I'm assuming the Colorado's receiver is rated for 500 lbs without WD. The Idea 2.0 is 2970 dry, but add 1000 lbs for full fresh tank and some cargo, and the tongue is going to be a shade over 500. The Idea, btw, has a GVWR of... wait for it... 7245 lbs. Could be a typo, but regardless, he's going to want WD with that trailer and truck. IMHO.
