  • Comparing the Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for Bike Rack on a 2021 Ford EcoSport
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12188 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36660 that fit your 2021 Ford EcoSport have the same design and weight ratings so the biggest difference is that the Curt has a thicker powder coat so it will do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris and the elements. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because of the ease of use and the unique U-Shaped frame that helps make loading/unloading your...

  • Comparing Front Mount Hitch Options for a 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • The difference is that the receiver on the Curt Front Hitch # C31078 will sit below the bumper on your F-350 while the receiver on the EcoHitch # 306-X7904 will actually sit in the same location as your front license plate and comes with a plate that can move out of the way when you need to utilize the front hitch. I really like the EcoHitch simply because it hides behind the license plate for a clean, OEM look on your truck. Attached is an installation video of the EcoHitch on a 2021...

  • What is the Difference Between the Fulton HD50000101 and the etrailer MJSQ-2500B?
  • Though these two jacks do look to be nearly identical, there is one fairly large difference, and one lesser of one as well. The large one being the weight capacities they can handle. The # HD50000101 is rated up to 5,000 pounds, whereas the # MJSQ-2500B is rated up to 2,500 pounds. So it is mostly the internals that are different, which is why they look like each other. The smaller difference is how the cranks attach to the jack. The # HD50000101 has a gear box, for the lack of a better...

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2020 Ford Ranger
  • The etrailer and Curt trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Ford Ranger are very similar, with the biggest difference being their finishes. The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63ZR has a black matte finish and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13417 has the traditional glossy black finish. Aside from that, they have the same capacities and each hitch is a relatively simple bolt-on installation using standard tools - a torque wrench, ratchet, socket, socket extension, and C-clamps. The hitches install...

  • Should You Get a Blue Ox Patriot or Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System for a 2023 Ford Maverick
  • The decision for me would come down to how long you plan to keep your Maverick or if you have other cars you might flat tow. Both the Patriot and Stay-IN-Play Duo are going to do a great job, but they are different styles. The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 is the choice to go with if you plan on keeping your Maverick for the long haul and don't plan to flat tow other vehicles. The reason is that you do not have to remove and install the Stay-IN-Play Duo...

  • Is there a Difference Between Part Numbers CAB-C5G and C5G1216
  • There is not difference actually. The part # CAB-C5G is the part number we use here at etrailer for the Convert-A-Ball Adjustable Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter. The part number that Convert-A-Ball uses is C5G1216. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Comparing 30 Amp Twist Lock Power Inlets from Epicord and Valterra Mighty Cord
  • The Epicord 30 Amp Twist Lock Power Inlet - White # 277-000137 and the Mighty Cord Replacement RV Power Inlet - 30 Amp Twist Lock - White # A10-30INVP are nearly identical parts. They are both replacements for factory plugs and have moisture and dust protection built in. They are very similar in quality as well, so I recommend going with the less expensive option as you will get nearly the same product from different manufacturers.

  • What is the Difference Between Titan Chains # TC2533 and # TC2327 for My 2018 Ford F-150?
  • In comparing the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link # TC2533 and # TC2327, both of these chains are confirmed to fit 275/65-18 tires on your 2018 Ford F-150. One of the differences between these chains is that the # TC2533 has a link thickness of 5.5mm while the # TC2327 has a link thickness of 3.7mm. The link thickness is important when considering wheel well clearance for your chains. The only other difference between these two sets of chains is the range...

  • Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Spring with Internal Jounce Bumpers Compared to Without
  • The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, # AL57213 and the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers, # AL88213 are the two confirmed options for the 2015 Ford Transit T250. The added advantage is simply to combine the adjustability of air springs with the reliability of jounce-style springs. I recommend that you always maintain at least 5 psi on the system.

  • Is There A Difference In Weight Distribution Hitches, Specifically ProPride, BlueOx, And Equalizer
  • Your more expensive weight distribution hitches usually have this one thing in common. They are more quiet than their less expensive counterparts. In addition, the ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control for 2" Receivers - 10K GTW, 1K TW, part # PR57QR, is designed to counteract sway before it begins, not after. It also stays on your trailer, so you do not have to hook unhook and remove everything when you finish towing. You can hitch from different angles and you can back...

  • Comparing Air Lift and Firestone Rear Air Bags for 2015 Ford F-350
  • If you are between the Air Lift and the Firestone rear air bags for your 2015 Ford F-350, I recommend going with the Firestones over the Air Lifts. This is because the Firestone air bags are a bit more durable because they use a crimp-rolled designed as opposed to band clamps. For this reason, I recommend the Firestone Ride Rite # F2597. Not only is this model compatible with both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models, it comes with all hardware required for a drill-free installation. The...

  • Differences Between Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Spring Kits # F2542 and # F2525
  • According to my Firestone representative, the only difference between the # F2542 and the # F2525 is that the mounting brackets on the F2542 are a bit different to allow a B and W fifth wheel hitch or a fifth wheel hitch with the # RP30035 universal brackets to be installed. The Firestone # F2525 would not be compatible with frame brackets for a fifth wheel hitch.

  • Choosing Between the Demco Autoslide and B&W Companion for 2020 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package
  • I can understand why a hitch like the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550022 (18k) or # DM8550037 (21k) is so attractive; they provide a much better solution for towing a 5th wheel with a short bed truck when it comes to not having to get in and out of the truck each time you need to make a tight turn. With that said, they're not compatible with B&W Turnoverball Underbed kits like the # BWGNRK1116-5W since the hitches connect to the underbed kit in two very different ways. In order to use...

  • Comparing Timbrens and SumoSprings for a 2017 Ford F-250
  • The main difference between the Timbrens part # TFR250SDJ and SumoSprings part # SSR-127-54 is that the Timbrens provide more support but have a stiffer ride whereas the SumoSprings provide less support but a more comfortable ride. If you value a reduction in sag/squat most then go with the Timbrens but if you value ride quality most then go with the SumoSprings. If you're looking for the best of both worlds, support/comfort then go with a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air...

  • Recommended Hitch To Carry A Bike Rack For A 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E
  • As we haven't had the chance to install either the Curt # C77ER or the Draw-Tite # DT92MR on a 2021 Mustang Mach-E, I went out and measured from the center of the first bolt hole to the end of the receiver opening on both hitches. The Curt will sit out a little further out at 14-1/4", and the Draw-Tite will be 13". With that said, I do agree that the Draw-Tite # DT92MR will be the better option due to it having a higher capacity and sticking out less than the Curt option. However, I do...

  • What Is The Difference Between The BAK Revolver X2 And X4s Tonneau Covers
  • There are a few differences between the BAK Revolver X2 and X4s tonneau covers. The X4s is the newest cover available by BAK, so it includes a new matte black finish on all sides, whereas the X2 will be matte on the top, and then silver on the bottom. The X4s will also have a sleeker more flush side rail than the X2, and the list goes on. Basically the X4s is the newest and best of the Revolver line. Between the two, I do prefer the look of the new X4s covers. As to the fitment for your...
