  I do have a base plate kit that is compatible with your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss but the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit part # RM-523182-5 is not a confirmed fit for the Z71 Trail Boss package.

• Comparing The Blue Ox And Curt Baseplate For A 2021 GMC Canyon
  The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C88FR is going to sit higher than the Blue Ox # BLU93FR, as well as all of the other options available so it's really going to come down to your personal preference and the brand of tow bar you chose. Both the Blue Ox and Curt baseplates are going to be compatible with Blue Ox tow bars so the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 you purchased will be compatible with both.

• Is There A Plug-And-Play Brake Controller Wire Harness For A 2018 GMC Canyon
  There is not a plug-and-play style connector for an aftermarket brake controller for a 2018 GMC Canyon so you would have to splice into the factory wiring. You'll need to look for the cold side of the brake light switch by checking the wires coming off of the brake pedal with a tester # PTW2993. The wire that lights up only when the brake pedal is depressed is your brake light switch wire. If you can't find it or the wire is too thin of a gauge to splice into then you can use the Roadmaster...

• How to Flat Tow a 2016 Chevy Colorado With 4WD
  I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2016 Chevy Colorado and a four wheel drive model can be towed so long as it has a N (neutral) and Four-Wheel Drive Low setting. There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Blue Ox # BLU93FR.

• How to Power Supplemental Braking System on GMC Canyon After Disconnecting Battery
  Since GM requires that the battery on your Canyon be disconnected for flat towing, you will just need to add the 12V Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to your setup to provide power to your Roadmaster Portable Braking System # RM-9400. This will wire directly to the battery to supply the necessary power for this system, which won't be affected by using the Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766 that you also mentioned.
