  • Comparing the Black Diamond and Black Denim Soft Tops for a 1992 Geo Tracker
  • The Rampage Replacement Soft Top Fabric part # RA98735 (Black Diamond) and the Rampage Replacement Soft Top Fabric part # RA98715 (Black Denim) are both made of the same fabric but woven a little differently. The black diamond as the name states has a diamond pattern whereas the black denim has a denim pattern like that on your jeans. I have attached a photo that shows the two samples side by side for you as well.

  • Differences Between Lippert LCV000334376 and LCV000334375 Replacement Awning Fabric
  • I spoke with my contact at Lippert who tells me that the only difference between the # LCV000334376 and the # LCV000334375 is that the # LCV000334375 has black weatherstrip and the # LCV000334376 has white. Other than that color of the weatherstrip, functionally speaking the two items are identical. Lippert tells me that both replacement awning fabrics have the built-in track to accept the Solara LED awning light kit, part # LC674282. I've linked to an installation video that you might...

  • Comparing Access and Truxedo Tonneau Covers for a 2011 Ford Ranger with a 6 Foot Bed
  • For me, between the Access Cover, # A22010109 and the Truxedo, # TX250101, I would go with the Access cover because it is as low profile design. It sits only 1/2 inch above the bed rails. The Truxedo cover is 1-1/2 inches above the rails. Given that the prices are about the same, what would sell me on the Access cover is that low profile design. In terms of keeping out water, the Access cover comes with a weather seal that runs along the truck bed sides and you can add a tailgate gasket,...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed Pickup with Factory Prep
  • In your short-bed Ram 3500 that has the factory rail kit the available slider-type 5th wheel hitches offer slider travel that ranges from 8- to 14-inches. All are shown on the linked page. Single-jaw designs often have less rattle and they also typically have fewer parts, which can be considered advantages. But certain dual jaw hitches can still be considered superior to certain single-jaw types. B&W makes superb products like their Companion 5th wheel slider # BWRVK3670 which will drop...

  • Best Hitch for 2018 Subaru Forester
  • Apart from the EcoHitch 2-inch hitch model # 306-X7216 that you referenced, which is pricier due to its fabrication from recycled materials, all of the other 2-inch hitch options for your 2018 Forester share similar weight capacities and similar more-friendly prices. I definitely recommend a 2-inch Class III option. Of those, I recommend the etrailer model # e98839. This hitch is USA-made and it offers easy no-drill installation using included hardware. The linked video will show you the...

  • Difference Between Truxedo Sentry and Sentry CT Roll-Up Hard Tonneau Cover on 2022 Chevy Silverado
  • They are actually pretty similar. The only physical difference between the two is the material used for the top of the cover that's exposed to the weather. The Truxedo # TX1573301 uses a vinyl top, while the top used on the Sentry CT, part # TX1573316 is a heavier polyester/vinyl like that's used on automobile convertible tops. The fabric is thicker and tougher than what's used on the Sentry which is why the Sentry CT has a 5 year warranty, while the Sentry is covered for 3 years. As far...

  • Comparing WeatherTech and 3D Maxpider Mats for 2012 Toyota Camry
  • Both WeatherTech and 3D Maxpider work to closely match the various colors of their products with the auto makers' OEM fabric and trim colors. Just as the auto makers' OEM parts can vary very slightly from one production run to another, so too can the aftermarket companies' products. It is tough to tell you which color will be closest to that of your 2012 Camry since the main reason for that color variance is that your vehicle's interior is 3 years old. Some degree of color difference...

  • Comparison Between Rack'Em Double Barrel and Gorilla-Lift Tailgate Lift Assist Systems
  • Between the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # RA-27C and the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # GL1, we do in fact sell more of the Double Barrel # RA-27C. As far as quality of the product, the Double Barrel # RA-27C and the Gorilla-Lift # GL1 are both good quality. As you mentioned, when it comes to installation the Double Barrel # RA-27C will require about half of the Gorilla-Lift # GL1 since there is only 1 lift rather than 2. The Gorilla-Lift...

  • Cargo Tie Down Recommendations for 5x8 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • Between the three cargo tie-down anchors you referenced, parts # RR2K, # RR8K and # RR09, I would go with the # RR2K because it includes the reinforcing backing plate and because it offers you the choice of recessed or surface mounting. Since your cargo items just need to be secured inside the trailer, but not have their full weight held, these items should be fine. I can offer you another option to consider, one that might better suit the trailer and cargo items, but that will be up to...

Draw-Tite part # 75270 is form/fit/functionally the same as part # 70737. There are a few aesthetic differences between the two hitches, however, they are not visually noticeable.

  • What Is The Difference Between Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 and # 13160
  • The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 and the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13160, is the shape of the tubing. Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 has a square-tube design while the Curt Hitch # 13160 has a round-tube design.

  • Differences Between Hidden Hitch 87617 and Draw-Tite 75728 Trailer Hitches for 2014 Ford Edge Sport
  • There sure is a difference! One has a Hidden Hitch sticker, the other has a Draw-Tite sticker. Other than that, both hitches are absolutely identical in appearance, have the same weight rating, would install in the same manner and share the same installation instructions. The Hidden Hitch has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so the part number actually redirects you to the Draw-Tite Hitch now. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you might be interested in the following items...

  • Difference Between Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite Hitch for a 2014 Chevy Cruze
  • There really aren't any differences between the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24882 and the Hidden Hitch part # 60299 (no longer available). They are both made by the same company and are virtually identical minus a few decals. The Hidden Hitch does come with a ball mount and a pin and clip so that may affect your decision. For a hitch ball you would want the part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118508.

  • Differences Between Class III Receivers Available for 2008 Ford Taurus X
  • Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are both sister companies, therefore both the Draw-Tite Class III Receiver, part # 75299 and the Hidden Hitch Class III Receiver, part # 87108 are going to be almost identical. The installation procedure and towing and tongue weight capacities are the same. Hidden Hitch is actually a brand name, and does not necessarily describe how visible the receiver hitch will be once it is installed. The way the hitch sits on the vehicle in relation to the rear bumper can...
