- Difference Between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and # C13280 for a 2001 Dodge Dakota
- The hitch opening will be in the exact same spot between the Curt Hitch # C13145 and Curt Hitch # C13280. The only difference between these hitches is that the # C13280 is a square tube hitch whereas the # C13145 is a round tube hitch.
Either hitch will work with your factory spare, if you check out the install video I attached for the # C13280 you will see that a full sized spare is still able to be installed with the hitch.

- I would go with the custom mirrors, because they offer the best fit as they are made for the vehicle. Installation would be easier and they will hold much better As long a you do not have the 5in x 7in sport mirrors, you would use parts # 10501 and # 10502.

- The Tekonsha PowerTrac brake controller # 39523 is a time delay brake controller. The other type of controller is a proportional controller. A time delay controller is so named because there is a delay between the time that you initially apply the brakes in your tow vehicle and the time that the controller reaches maximum power output. Unlike a proportional brake controller, which activates your trailer's brakes based on the deceleration of your tow vehicle, a time-delayed controller sends...

- I think something like load sensing shocks would be better in situations where you frequently tow or carry various size and types of loads. But if you primarily will be towing the boat and do not often carry varying sized loads in the bed, the Timbren system, # TDDR00, would be the better choice.
The Timbren system is probably going to be the more cost effect choice and there is not a lot that can go wrong with the system since there are basically no moving parts, electronics, or pneumatic...

- The primary differences between the Curt # C13280 and # C13145 are cosmetic.
The C13280 would be mainly concealed behind the rear bumper, while the C13145 would be visible. The hitches have identical capacities, so either would work great from a functional standpoint. Because there's not an important difference between the two, I'd personally choose the C13280 because of its lower cost.
It just so happens we offer a small trailer designed for carrying kayaks and other items that would...
