  • Comparing The Curt And Hopkins Trailer Wire Harnesses For A 2000 Toyota Tundra
  • The only real difference between the Curt # C55367 and Hopkins # 43365, besides curt having a separate fused battery connection, would simply be the quality. The Hopkins wire harness only comes with a 90-day limited warranty, while the Curt harness comes with a 1-year limited warranty. If I had to choose between the two I would personally go with the Curt wire harness for the longer warranty.
