Recommended Front Mount Hitch 2017 F-250 That Resists Corrosion

Question:

I am going to be using the front hitch by the ocean. Is one of the two you offer more rust proof than the other? Thanks

Expert Reply:

Both of the front-mount trailer hitches that are designed to work with your 2017 f-250 have a powder coat finish that helps reduce corrosion.

I recommend the Draw-Tite # 65076 over the Curt # C31078 because the Draw-Tite hitch uses e-coat on the steel before painting it.

E-coating is the process of immersing the part in a bath of water-soluable paint while being connected to an electrical power source set at a certain voltage. E-coating does not corrode and would last longer for you.
