Expert Reply:
Since you already have a Blue Ox tow bar you are going to want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU93FR. This base plate kit has removable arms that will leave your Colorado looking as close to factory as possible when you are not flat towing. This fits the 4WD models without adaptive cruise control.
The other parts you will need to flat tow your 2018 Chevy Colorado are listed below. I have also attached any installation videos and instructions so you can see the process for getting these parts set up.
Safety Cables - RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables item # RM-643
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch item # RM-766
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
