Hi Frank, While we can get you a brake controller for your 2020 Chevy Colorado, there isn't a plug-in option and harness because the truck doesn't have a plug under the dash. That said, the wires are already run to the cab, so it isn't…
Hey Matt, I would highly recommend the Hydrastar Marine electric over hydraulic actuator part #HS481-8067 for your boat trailer. We have found that the Hydrastar actuators are the most reliable and best performing so it's always what I recommend.…
