Expert Answers about Hitch Covers
- US Army Hitch Cover Options
- I have some alternatives that still show American pride, but unfortunately Carr doesn't offer a hitch mounted step with the Army logo. Some alternatives would be The American Flag # CARR183032 or the USA Graphic # CARR183022.
If you'd rather have an Army hitch cover over also having the step then we do have some options. The AMG part # AMG102392 has the US Army Seal on it or something like the Au-Tomotive Gold brand cover # AUT-ARMY2-RB has the US Army logo in rugged black.

- I went to our warehouse and measured each of the three 2-inch Class III hitches that fit your 2014 Nissan Rogue to confirm which will provide the best clearance for a bike rack. What I did was measure from the center of one of the rear-most mounting holes on the hitches to the center of the hitch pin holes.
I went this route since the hitch attachment points on the car's frame do not vary, but the actual position of the flexible plastic rear bumper cover could. Plastic bumper covers are...

- I would be happy to help you. The difference in the installation time between the two hitch receiver's on your 2022 Acura MDX is that the Curt item # C22HR sits lower when mounted so it does not requiring trimming of the rear bumper cover. The Draw-TIte item # DT42MR sits higher after installation which requires you to cut a 4" x 3.5" section of your rear bumper cover out.

This EcoHitch is constructed from an alloy which consists of a combination of recycled aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.

- I spoke with my contact at Curt and numerous factors go into the capacity of a hitch ball, including the way the shank is threaded as well as the way the metal was finished. The Curt Hitch Ball, # 40038, has been tested and has a 12,000 lb towing capacity.
You definitely want to use a hitch ball that is rated high enough for the weight of your horse trailer and part # 40038 would cover this. Although the Husky ball looks to be sturdier, you mention that it only has an 8,000 lb capacity...

- The biggest advantage the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX592301 has over the Vanish Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # 834532007950 is that it automatically keeps the correct amount of tension in the cover using spring loaded tensioners. The # 834532007950 requires manual adjustments that would not be too difficult or time consuming but it would be one more thing to keep track of on your 2010 Nissan Frontier.
Other than that the two will function and store very similarly.

- 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.
