Hey Martin, congrats on the new truck! To add a set of crossbars to your 2025 Chevy Colorado crew cab, I recommend the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack item # Y52QB in black or item # Y28CB in silver. This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity and attaches to your truck with custom fit clips.

I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft. A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and other Yakima accessories all controlled by the same key.
