There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 that fit your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, which is the finish.

The Curt trailer hitch has a glossy black finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish; other than that everything is equal, such as their 6,000 lb towing/900 lb tongue weight capacities, as well as the installation.

The two have hidden crosstubes which means only the receiver is showing (see accompanying photo of etrailer hitch on 2020 Chevy Colorado), so the different finishes - which give them slightly different looks - are probably not going to be a huge factor in your choice. If it were my 2020 Chevy Colorado, I would just buy the hitch that is easier on the wallet between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909.

I have added links to video installs of both trailer hitches on a 2020 Chevy Colorado for you to check out as well.
