Colorado 1800mm Tray and Canopy Package: Built for Better Storage

A well-planned Colorado 1800mm tray and canopy package can make a ute far easier to organise, whether it is being used for daily work, weekend touring or a combination of both. This Colorado build features a matching 1800mm tray and canopy, a full-width trundle drawer, internal shelves and three roof rack bars, creating a balanced setup with storage available above, inside and underneath the canopy.

Rather than simply adding a canopy to a standard tray, this package has been designed as a complete system. The result is a practical ute setup that makes better use of the available space while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

Why Choose a Colorado 1800mm Tray and Canopy Package?

Choosing matching 1800mm components gives this build a balanced profile without making the rear of the vehicle look unnecessarily bulky. The tray provides a strong foundation, while the enclosed canopy offers secure and weather-resistant storage for tools, equipment and touring gear.

For Colorado owners who have outgrown the factory tub, this setup provides a more organised alternative. Equipment can be separated into different storage areas rather than being stacked together in one large compartment.

This Colorado 1800mm tray and canopy package is particularly useful for owners who need their vehicle to perform more than one role. It can be used as a practical work ute during the week and still provide the storage needed for camping or touring on weekends.

Full-Width Trundle Drawer Under the Tray

The 1800mm tray includes a full-width trundle drawer beneath the rear deck. This creates a dedicated storage space for long, flat or frequently used equipment without taking up room inside the canopy.

Because the drawer is positioned low in the setup, equipment can be accessed directly from the rear of the vehicle. It is a useful feature for anyone looking for a Colorado tray with trundle drawer, especially when smaller items need to remain organised and easy to reach.

The drawer also allows the main canopy floor to stay clear for larger equipment, containers or future storage upgrades.

1800mm Canopy with Internal Shelves

Inside the canopy, fitted shelving helps divide the available space into practical storage zones. Instead of placing everything on the canopy floor, smaller tools and supplies can be arranged on the shelves where they remain visible and easier to access.

An 1800mm canopy with internal shelves is especially valuable for tradespeople who regularly carry different types of equipment. It also works well for touring setups where cooking supplies, recovery gear and camping equipment need to be kept separate.

The shelving makes better use of the canopy’s vertical space while leaving the lower section available for larger or heavier items.

Three Roof Rack Bars for Additional Carrying Space

Three roof rack bars have been installed across the top of the canopy, creating another carrying area for suitable long or bulky equipment.

This is useful when certain items do not fit comfortably inside the canopy or would take up too much internal storage space. Using three rack bars also provides support across a larger section of the 1800mm canopy roof.

A Colorado ute canopy with roof rack bars offers greater flexibility, but all items should still be securely restrained and kept within the canopy, rack and vehicle load limits.

Under-Tray Toolboxes and Mudguards Included

This package includes more than just the main tray and canopy. Under-tray toolboxes have been fitted on both sides, turning the unused space below the tray into additional storage.

These external compartments are ideal for equipment that needs to remain easily accessible without opening the main canopy. They also help separate smaller or dirtier items from gear stored inside.

The included mudguards complete the tray installation, protect the surrounding area from road spray and debris, and give the rear of the Colorado a more finished appearance.

A Practical Holden Colorado Tray and Canopy Setup

What makes this Holden Colorado tray and canopy setup effective is the way each component serves a clear purpose.

The canopy provides secure enclosed storage. Internal shelves improve organisation. The trundle drawer creates space for long and flat equipment. Under-tray toolboxes keep smaller items accessible, while the three roof rack bars provide additional carrying capacity above the canopy.

Together, these features create a more efficient setup without relying on unnecessary accessories or overcomplicated storage systems.

Suitable for Work and Weekend Touring

For work use, the separate storage areas make it easier to find equipment quickly and keep the main canopy space organised. Tools and supplies can be arranged according to how frequently they are needed, reducing the time spent searching through loose gear.

For touring, the same layout can be used to organise camping supplies, recovery equipment and general travel essentials. The matching 1800mm tray and canopy provide plenty of useful storage while maintaining a proportionate appearance on the Colorado.
