The primary difference between the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars has to do with what they are designed to carry and what accessories work well with them.
The Heavy-Duty Crossbars feature built-in C-channels that are made specifically for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty accessories like the Hi-Lift Jack Mounting Brackets # RJHB. Because the bars are larger than most other systems they will not be compatible with a lot of accessories that aren't specifically... view full answer...
I recommend the Adco Olefin All-Climate + Wind RV Cover part # AD87ZR for your 2018 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604WS over the Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe Travel Trailer Cover part # 052963735635. The Adco Olefin All-Climate is in my experience one of the most durable options on the market. It has a patented wind cinching system to reduce slack therefore not allowing wind to get up under the cover and tear, weighted buckles that help with installation, and the Olefin top... view full answer...
Since you have the Falcon 2 Towbar, you can safely use the MX base plate kit, part # 1419-8. The MX style base plates take advantage of the strong frames used for trucks and SUVs. Please note, some accessories are not compatible with the MX style plates like the Guardian Rock Shied or Tow Defender.
The XL base plates, part # 1419-7, will offer the most compatibility with tow bars and tow bar accessories. We typically recommend that customers use the XL style because it can be used with... view full answer...
For the 2015 Mazda 3, you'll only have access to either Yakima or Rhino Rack roof bars.
Both are great companies and there's a few differences that are important to note about the two companies.
Rhino Rack doesn't produce as many accessories, but is a smaller than average bar and fits more mounting hardware in both its C-Channel and around the bar. Additionally, its locking system is two part, one for the foot pack and one for the c-channel accessories as a separate part. Finally, Rhino... view full answer...

There are two Stealth Trailer Hitch options for a 2021 Subaru Outback, the Rack Receiver part # 391SUOB20 and Towing Receiver part # 391SUOB20T. The Rack Receiver is designed only for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The Towing Receiver is designed to be used for towing; it comes with the ball mount, hitch ball, and wiring which is everything you need to tow. It also comes with a Rack Receiver if you need to use hitch mounted accessories as well. If you purchase... view full answer...
The Class III, part # 75876, is about 8 pounds heavier than the Class II, part # 36523. They weigh in at rougly 33 pounds and 25 pounds respectively. They install the same way and are both confirmed to fit your 2018 Subaru Forester.
Between the two I recommend the Class III hitch. Class III hitches have a 2 inch opening which is more common than the 1-1/4 inch Class II so it's easier to find accessories that fit. Also, having a Class III is better because if you do have an accessory... view full answer...
There are a couple of differences between the two. The JetStream bars like # Y00425 are made of extruded aluminum while the CoreBars such as the # Y00421 you've looked at are constructed of galvanized steel. As you've mentioned, the CoreBar has a higher capacity. The primary difference is that the JetStream bars feature the T-Slot channel at the top that allows quick and easy accessory installation, while accessories used with the CoreBars would need to clamp around the crossbar.

Of the two options the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve part # 103537-MBS has two of the 250 quick disconnects which you will find on a ton of RV accessories. The Camco Brass Propane Tee w/ 4 Ports part # CAM59113 has a 1"-20 Male throwaway cylinder thread lets you attach a hose and a 1/4" Inverted flare for connecting a propane line.
There is no difference in quality between the two. One is designed for traditional type fittings the other for quick disconnects like the MB... view full answer...
The hitches for you 2020 Outback are all very similar in the way they install and the weight capacities are all higher than that of your vehicle so in that respect its a wash. Keep in mind though you should never exceed your vehicles weight rating. The main differences come in the material used and the appearance on the vehicle.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # C67JR is a traditional type hitch made of a powder coated steel. It will have a receiver... view full answer...
Curt Class I and II along with some of Curt's Class III hitch receivers such as # 13147 do require a stabilizing strap # 18050 to satisfy Curt warranty requirements. The strap is to be used with any non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. It is designed to significantly reduce bouncing of any hitch mounted accessories. Check out the attached review video of the strap installed on both a platform rack and hanging bike carrier.

It doesn't look like we have had a chance yet to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e94CR on a 2020 Audi Q5 yet so I don't have any specific measurements for you. That said, based on the install photos we have of this and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7397, I can confidently say that the etrailer hitch sticks out further than the EcoHitch. The greater extension means better compatibility with folding accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers... view full answer...
The primary differences between the 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receiver are the size and the capacity.
The Class III hitches for your Sienna have a 3500 lb towing/ 350 lb tongue weight capacity. The Class II hitches have the same towing capacity, but a lower tongue weight capacity, at 300 lbs.
We usually recommend going with the Class III if the choice is available. The 2 inch receiver opening used by the Class III hitch is more common, and therefore there is a better selection of hitch mounted... view full answer...
There is no difference between the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH77FR and the SHR33004. SH77FR is just our part number for the Stealth Hitches SHR33004. The hitch fits the 2019 - 2023 Volvo XC40. This is designed for hitch-mounted accessories only. If you plan on towing, you will need the # SH77FRT instead which includes the towing kit. view full answer...
Aside from a slight change in the appearance of the crossbar (the WingBar Evo has some boxed edges as opposed to the completely smooth front of the AeroBlade) the biggest differences are the rubber strip on top of the crossbar and the weight capacity.
The older AeroBlade crossbars have a solid rubber strip that inserts into the top channel which would need to be cut for accessories to fit. Thule eliminated the need to cut the rubber strip on the WingBar Evo, like part # TH711420) by using... view full answer...
The RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit # RM-9243-1 was designed as a combo kit to be purchased along with Roadmaster Falcon Towbars like # RM-520. The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 is a more 'universal' kit that focuses on giving you a 7-wire to 6-wire harness no matter what tow bar you have. The main difference is the Falcon Kit # RM-9243-1 has 8,000 lb capacity safety cables and extra tow bar accessories, while the Diode Kit... view full answer...
Either the Classic Accessories Boat Cover by StormPro - 16' to 18.5' (beam width 98") # 052963889383 or the Classic Accessories DryGuard Waterproof Boat Cover - 16' to 18-1/2' - Up to 98" Beam # CA20085 will work for your 2015 Crestliner Raptor.
The differences between the covers is the Storm Pro # 052963889383 comes with the support pole to keep water from pooling and yet doesn't have taped seams, so water can find its way in at the needle holes. The Dry Guard # CA20085 does not come... view full answer...
All the hitches available for your 2020 Rogue would install in the same manner. The etrailer brand hitch, part # e98846 or the Curt # C13204 both have a 525 lb tongue weight capacity, versus the 350 lb tongue weight capacity of the Draw-tite # 75902. All three are compatible with your vehicle.
The Curt # C13204 and etrailer # e98846 aren't recessed as far under the vehicle as the Draw-Tite model, so fitting hitch mounted accessories will be easier because there will be about 2-1/2 inches... view full answer...
Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13356 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class II # C12341 measure 3-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the most outward part of the rear bumper, so both will stick out exactly the same amount.
Between these options I recommend the # 13356 as it does not require a stabilizing strap when using non-trailer loads, and it also has a 2" receiver which gives you a lot more options when it comes to accessories now... view full answer...
That's a really good question because it can be difficult to get a comparison but vehicle manufacturers sell their OEM parts just like aftermarket retailers so I was able to find the Subaru trailer hitch for a 2020 Subaru Forester, and the advantages of going with an aftermarket hitch are pretty extensive.
The most significant difference is the class and receiver size of the OEM hitch compared to the aftermarket hitches. The factory Subaru hitch is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch. Meanwhile,... view full answer...
