The difference in the two hitches is what type of bumper they are designed to fit with. The vans had a standard rear bumper option and a step bumper option. The step bumper option gives you a step which allows you to climb into the back more easily.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388 is designed for the vans that have the standard rear bumper. The side plates on this hitch are shorter than they are on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13375 which is designed for use on... view full answer...
The difference between HitchMate TruckSteps, parts # HE4045 and # HE4037 is that the latter is the XL version which has a larger step pad and extends 2 more inches than the standard version.
The # HE4045 measures 9-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches and the # HE4037 measures 11-1/4 by 8-1/2 inches. view full answer...
I recommend the HitchMate TireStep Adjustable Step for SUVs, RVs and Light Trucks - 22" x 10" - 400 lbs, # HE4040 over the Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step for SUVs, RVs, and Trucks - 300 lbs # ALL647596. I prefer the HitchMate because the actual step is 3 inches deeper and that gives a little more support. The weight rating is 100 lbs more which makes it feel stonger, and it comes with a bag to store or carry it. view full answer...
The difference between the two Bully Tube Steps you mentioned is that the part # CR-600 can only fit a 2 inch hitch and the part # CR-605 can fit both a 2 inch and a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch.
The # CR-605 comes with an adapter sleeve that can be removed so that a smaller shank is revealed to fit the 1-1/4 inch hitch. Check out the picture I attached to see this. view full answer...
I wish we still had the step that Mike shows in the demo video you referenced. At this time the most similar option we have would be the part # 3371804017. This is an 18 inch hitch extension that has a step on the end of it. view full answer...
Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with a factory step bumper, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your Sprinter are the following part numbers:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e82TR
The matte black finish does hide those inevitable... view full answer...
Part # C15325 has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and 17,000 when using weight distribution. The tongue weight capacity is 2,400 lbs and 2,400 lbs when used with weight distribution. This hitch is designed to be used on trucks without a 10 inch step bumper.
This is a Class V hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening.
Another Class V hitch that may work for you if your truck has the 10 inch step bumper is part # C15317. This has the same characteristics as the # C15325,... view full answer...
Either rack would work well for you, assuming that you're planning on using the rack on a passenger vehicle with a 2 inch receiver hitch. That being said, one of the racks will work with your step-thru bike right out of the box, the other will require that an accessory be used.
The primary difference between the racks is how they hold the bike's frame. The # HLY64FR RV Rider can hold the bike frame at the seat post tube or the top tube, which makes it ideal for bikes with step through... view full answer...
You are correct that Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch brands were sister companies, both part of Cequent Performance Products, and that their hitches # 75599 and 87454 are identical apart from their branding. Hidden Hitch is now discontinued.
You are also correct that the Curt hitch option for your 2006 Pilot, part # 13328, does include an additional mounting flange at its center that is not used on the other hitches. In some cases this extra flange will require trimming of the rear fascia;... view full answer...
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.

Both the Curt hitch # 13358 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75601 will fit your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 if you have the 170 inch wheel base and factory step bumper. Its almost a dead heat between the two, but I'm giving the edge to # 13358.
The # 13358 has more positive reviews about this product and it is made is the USA. It also step-by-step install videos for you to watch on an earlier model of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Both hitches are Class III hitches with 2 inch receivers and they... view full answer...
Both the # C23FR (Curt 13454) and the CU56FR (Curt 13436) are fits for a 4th generation Ford Escape, however the CU56FR which isn't a fit for the popular Escape Hybrid has been phased out in favor of the redesigned # C23FR which DOES fit the hybrid.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and # 40038 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

The Curt # C11378 is the only hitch available for your 2017 Nissa Versa Note. It features a no-drill application, but it does require some fascia trimming. This Curt hitch offers a nice installed appearance, since its main cross tube will be hidden behind the rear fascia panel as shown in the linked photo.
Instructions are included with the hitch, along with all of the required mounting hardware. I also included for you a complete installation video that gives you the step-by-step process.... view full answer...
We do have several choices for you in a 1-1/4-inch light-duty Class I hitch for your 2015 Toyota Prius and you can view these using the link provided. Since your intended use is a hitch-mount bike rack I do recommend the Draw-Tite # 24847. I recommend this hitch not just for its lower 18-lb weight, but also because it does not require use of a stabilizing strap # 18050 like the Curt hitch # C11276 does.

There are a few small differences between the etrailer # e72TR and the Curt # C13281 Class III hitches, both of which are confirmed fits for a 2022 Kia Sportage.
Both hitches would install in a similar manner, and the installation shares the same level of difficulty. The etrailer has a higher capacity at 4500 lbs towing/675 lbs tongue weight while the Curt has a 3500 lb towing/525 lb tongue weight capacity. However, the capacity advantage isn't really relevant because the capacity will... view full answer...
Good news! My friend AJ's video is finally up and you can see him review the Yakima OnRamp #Y36FR in the video I attached below.
I love your description of a road narwhal. If you're worried about the extra length behind your vehicle with a folded bike rack, I recommend the new Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR. In the video, AJ doesn't get into exact measurements since they're vehicle/hitch specific and he was doing a more general review, but I attached picture comparisons of the two bike racks you're... view full answer...
I checked with Curt to verify the fit, and am happy to confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR does fit the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

I personally choose a Draw-Tite for my vehicles if one is available, if one is not available I go with Curt 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500.
The Curt, Draw-Tite, and Hidden-Hitch models use similar designs that give them all similar ratings. Some customers prefer the higher gloss finish of the Curt hitches, some prefer the matte finish of the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch. view full answer...
The difference between our hitches that fit your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van have to do with what kind of bumper you have:
- Standard Bumper # e76AR
- Factory Step Bumper # e82TR
Please note these fit unless you have the 30-3/8" frame (measured outside to outside on frame). view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR and Draw-Tite # DT84GR are going to have the same difficulty to install on your 2023 Volkswagen ID4. Both of these will require removal of the rear fascia to place the receiver behind the bumper beam. Personally I prefer the Curt over the Draw-Tite as it has the quality of being made in the USA.
