If your 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is a Z71 model then you will the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3164-3 to connect to your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520.
If your Colorado is NOT a Z71 then there is not a direct connect base plate kit and you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3122-1. With this base plate kit you will need to use the crossbar that was included with your Tow bar, or if you no longer have it you will need the replacement crossbar # 910021-00.
The correct seat adapter to use your Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # RM-9160 is the # RM-88235.
You will also need stop light switch kit # RM-751442.
Moving on to the second vehicle kit you will need the RoadMaster Second Vehicle Kit with BreakAway for BrakeMaster Systems # RM-98160.
Since you have a tow bar, a supplemental braking system, base plate, and safety cables the last thing you will need is tow bar wiring.
I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which adds a 6-way connector to the front of your Colorado and then the 6-way to 7-way cord plugs in between your vehicle and motorhome to power the tail lights. The included diodes protect your factory wiring from backfeed and damage.
