  • Comparing Timbren Axle-Less 2K Trailer Suspension Systems with 4" Lift
  • Great question! The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR2KHDS04 has a standard size spindle which is why it is for regular tires. The Timbren Systems # ASR2KHDS03 and # ASR1THDS03 have longer spindles which can accommodate wider tires and the only difference between them is the slightly higher weight rating of the part # ASR1THDS03 (also known as the 1 Tonne by Timbren). All 3 kits are great options for off-road use because of the 4" lift, so it really boils down to what...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer.com Trailer Hitches for a 2017 Honda Pilot
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98840 are identical in their design and measurements with the only difference being the Curt has a gloss black powder coat finish whereas the etrailer.com has a matte black powder coat finish. The matte black will do a better job at hiding scratches and dings from road debris so I recommend ours over the Curt option. With that being said, these trailer hitches can only fit with an 18" or smaller spare tire. If yours...

  • The etrailer 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e97SR is going to have the same dimensions as the Universal Group # SP-210275. Both springs are rated for a 3,500lb axle with center eye to center eye measurements of 27". They both are made of 4 leaves and have 3/8" thick leaves. The only difference is in the manufacturer of the product.

  • Difference Between The Curt # C13382 Trailer Hitch And etrailer # e98912 Trailer Hitch
  • The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 is simply the paint job. The etrailer hitch comes with a matte black powder coating, whereas the Curt hitch comes with a high gloss powder coating. I tend to think the matte black coating blends in better with the black plastic undercarriage covers and is much more forgiving with scratches from road debris, unlike the high gloss that typically shows every scratch. If you...

  • There are 2 major differences between the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HR1450Z and # HLY84FR. The difference is the weight capacity per bike and the maximum tire width. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HR1450Z can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 50lbs. per bike and tire widths up to 3". The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HLY84FR can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 80lbs. per bike and tire widths up to 5". Personally I would go with the Hollywood Racks...

  • Are the Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch for 2003 Toyota 4Runner the Same Hitch
  • Yes, the Hidden Hitch part # 70779 and the Draw Tite # 75155 are the exact same hitch as they are both made by the same parent company Cequent. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount...

  • Comparing Demco Recon Gooseneck Adapter and B&W Companion on 2021 F-150 with 6-1/2 Bed
  • Technically yes, you can use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045. The problem is going to be the limited clearance you will have if you choose to go this route. With a fixed 5th wheel hitch on your 2021 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed I would typically recommend a rotating pin box, but you will not be able to use one with an adapter like the Demco Recon. I recommend choosing the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W instead. The built...

  • Comparison of the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Side Connectors # A7WCB and # PK12706
  • I went out to the warehouse and got one of each of the 7-Way trailer side connectors to compare to each other. There are some major differences between the two connectors. The # A7WCB, 7-Way trailer side connector has a wire clamping mechanism that just has a clamp that wedges the wire into the connector to keep the wires from being pulled out, there is nothing at the back of the connector to prevent moisture from entering the connector. Another difference is that this connector has plastic...

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitches # 13332 and # 13322 for a 2006 Chevy Silverado
  • When CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13332, is installed on a 2006 Chevy Silverado, the square tubing will be behind the spare tire (towards the rear of the vehicle). It will fit much like the round tube # 13322 except that more of the cross tubing will be visible, because it goes straight across the back of the vehicle rather than curving around the spare tire. There are some differences between the Curt Hitches and the Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite, and Reese hitches on lower class models, but in the...

  • Recommend Base Plate and Tow Bar For 2010 Smart For Two
  • For your 2010 Smart For Two, we have the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 52285-1, and the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, part # BX1987. Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox base plate kits feature removable drawbars, so that the base plate kit is less visible when you are not towing the vehicle. Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox base plate kit would be a good option for your 2010 Smart Car. In addition to a base plate kit, you will need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring or lighting, and a supplemental...

  • What is the Difference Between Class 1 and Class 2 Hitches for the Scion XB
  • Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds and a towing rating of 3,500 pounds. The only other difference is that accessories designed for Class II only hitches will not fit in a Class I Hitch. Class I accessories will work in the Class II hitch. I would recommend...

  • What Is the Difference Between the 2.5K Version and the 5K Version of the SnapPad SnapJack?
  • There is no difference between the 2,500 version of the SnapPad SnapJack for RV Scissor Jack Stabilizers, and the 5K to 7K version # SN65FR. The only difference between the two would be the capacity they can handle. In order to determine which one you'd need, you'd need to determine the capacity of your trailer jack and compare it to the feet and choose the set that matches your capacity.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Ford F-250 Short Bed
  • The biggest differences between Husky 16K hitch # HT31326-31196 and Curt hitch # C16521 are the slider base, jaws, and head. The Husky slider base has a lot of moving parts. It is unlike anything else I have seen. I have used it and find it to be a bit complicated which is not a benefit if you find yourself stranded on the side of the road. The Husky slider base also can only travel 10 inches compared to the simpler Curt design with 12 inches of travel. More travel means more clearance...

  • Roof Rack/Cargo Carrying Options for 2014 Nissan Rogue with Naked Roof
  • Since your cargo carrying requirements are occasional I can offer you a couple of different options to consider. One route is to use a hitch-mounted cargo carrier. Hitch carriers are easier to load and unload since they are not up high on your roof. They will also have less impact on your fuel economy since they will catch less wind. If your Rogue has a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch you can use a Class II carrier; a link is provided at right to a variety of 1-1/4-inch Class II cargo carriers,...

  • Differences Between Available Class III Hitches for 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • The Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite model hitches you referenced would be identical, since Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are sister companies. Both hitches are identical in looks, share the same capacity and would install in the same manner. The Curt # C13105 has a straight cross tube that bends slightly at each end, while the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Hitches have a cross tube that angles rearward from the receiver opening, with no bend. I have provided side by side photos showing the # 87698...

  • Difference Between Standard and Underslung B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System
  • The difference between the standard and underslung B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System is the coupler style they are designed for. If you have a standard coupler like the # CA-5400-B mounted to the top of your frame then you need the standard Continuum # BW78FR. If you have an underslung coupler mounted to the bottom of your frame like # CA-5335-B then you need the underslung Continuum # BW88FR.

  • Difference Between Bulldog Square Sidewind 10,000 Lb Weld-On Landing Gear Trailer Jacks
  • The Bulldog Square Jack, part # BD182800 and part # BD182815 are very similar but have just a couple of slight differences. They are both 26 inch lift jacks with a 10,000 lb weight capacity, and are sidewind jacks. The # BD182800 has a side-facing plunger pin and has a 27-2/5 inch retracted height. The # BD182815 features a front-facing plunger pin and when retracted has a height of 28-1/2 inches. As you can see there are a couple of differences.
