Goose Gear: Chevy Colorado

The Chevy Colorado is the right size for real trails and the wrong size for sloppy packing — every cubic foot counts, in the bed and behind the seats. This collection is the dedicated Goose Gear storage line for the platform: drawer modules, plate systems, and camp storage designed around the Colorado's dimensions so nothing shifts, rattles, or wastes space. Thirty-four products deep, so filter by year, make, and model first, then build the layout around your heaviest gear.

How to plan a Colorado storage build

Start with the heaviest thing you carry and work outward. For most Colorado owners that's a fridge, a recovery kit, or tools — dense weight that needs to live low, centered, and bolted down, not sliding around loose. A Goose Gear plate system gives you the anchored foundation; drawer modules and camp storage stack onto it from there. The order matters: pick the foundation for your truck first, choose modules to fit the foundation second, and let the year/make/model filter rule out anything cut for a different generation before you start comparing.

Drawers versus loose totes — the honest math

A fitted system costs more than totes, and it should, because it fixes the two problems totes can't: security and repeatability. Drawers lock, and every item lives in the same place on day one and day forty — which sounds trivial until you're hunting a headlamp in the rain. The tradeoff is weight and commitment: a storage system subtracts payload from a midsize truck, and it's not something you toss in for one trip. If you camp out of the Colorado a few weekends a season or more, the system earns its keep; if you camp twice a year, quality totes and a strap kit are the honest answer.

What to pair with it

Storage rewards planning around the gear it will hold. If a Power Tank or compressor is part of your kit, decide where on-board air lives before you finalize the layout — dedicated mounting beats wedging a tank behind a drawer face. Same logic for chargers, comms, and the other small accessories that either get a home or get lost. A Tackform mount at the dash, gear in drawers behind you, nothing loose above shoulder height: that's the layout that survives washboard.

Goose Gear: Chevy Colorado FAQs

Is there storage for the Colorado's cab as well as the bed?

Yes — the Goose Gear Colorado line covers more than the bed; that's why this collection runs thirty-four products deep. Plate systems and modules are built for specific zones of the truck, and each listing spells out where it mounts and which cab and bed configuration it fits. Filter by your year first, then read placement details; similar-looking modules can serve entirely different parts of the truck.

Do I have to drill into my truck to install a drawer system?

Usually not — vehicle-specific systems are designed to pick up existing mounting points wherever the platform offers them, and each product page lists what the install involves. Some configurations do require drilling or hardware changes, and the listing will say so before you buy. Either way, plan on a real afternoon with a torque wrench, not a five-minute drop-in.

Can I still haul bikes, mulch, or lumber with a bed system installed?

On top of a plate system, yes — that's much of the point; a full-height drawer stack is a different story. A flat platform keeps the bed usable for dirty loads while sealing your gear underneath it. If the truck still works for a living, favor lower-profile modules and keep part of the bed open. Storage should serve the truck, not retire it.

Do modules carry over between Colorado generations?

Assume they don't. Bed dimensions, cab layouts, and mounting points change when the truck does, and a module cut for one body won't sit right in another. This is exactly what the year/make/model filter is for: set it before browsing and the wrong-generation products disappear. If you're switching trucks or running something modified, ask us what actually transfers before you order.

What's the difference between a plate system and a drawer module?

A plate system is the foundation — a flat, load-bearing deck that bolts to the vehicle and gives everything else an anchor point. Drawer modules are the storage that mounts to it. You can run a plate alone as a working platform, but drawers generally want the plate underneath. Buy the foundation for the truck; buy the modules for the gear.
