2021 Kia Niro Hybrid Tralier Hitch Recommendation

Question

Question:

2021 Kia Niro hybrid I notice you have an Etrailer branded hitch reciever. It looks similar to the one made by CURT. Is it modeled on theirs? The one made by Draw Tite is also $ more. Why is that? Also, the Draw Tite looks like it is mounted less solid, ie: only on sides from the plate vs on two.planes like the others. Thoughts?

Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e33AR that fits your 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid is designed the same as the Curt alternative # C13329. The only difference is the Curt has a glossy black finish while our hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte black finish because it's a little more muted and matches with black trim on vehicle better, plus this finish is a little more resistant to scratches from road debris than the glossy type.

The Draw-Tite Hitch # DT79YR does have a lower weight rating so I don't recommend going with that hitch - pricing is determined by a handful of different factors so I don't have any direct answer for that part of your question.
