Since the 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2 comes stock with 4-wheel drive, I confirmed with your owner's manual that you can definitely flat-tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground behind your Leprechaun. In order to do this, you need a base plate, a tow bar, a tow braking system, safety cables, and vehicle tow wiring. I recommend the following:

- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU93FR
- Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 (already comes with required safety cables)
- Brake Buddy Select 3 # HM39524
- Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152-98146-7
- Required Battery Disconnect for Wiring Kit # RM-766 (compatible with non-diesel engines)

The great thing about the Blue Ox Base Plate kit is that is simply installs into your Colorado's chassis and is designed specifically to fit your ZR2 model. It comes with all required hardware. As far as the Blue Ox Alpha tow bar, it allows for you to easily release your vehicle even in uneven ground and simply slides into the RV's hitch receiver without the need of a ball mount. In addition, you will also receive the proportional action of the Brake Buddy Select 3 which includes a super easy installation and removal process to save you a lot of time and hassle. With the diode kit, this will allow you to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your Colorado's lighting system.

It is important to note that the battery disconnect is only compatible with non-diesel engines. If you happen to have a diesel engine, feel free to respond to confirm and I can find another route for you.

As with all towing applications, I recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that you abide by all the guidelines for towing.
