  • What is the Difference Between the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Mustang GT
  • The only difference between the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24863, and the Hidden Hitch Class I Trailer Hitch, # 60280 (no longer available), is that the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch includes a ball mount. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are sister companies that use the same design, specifications and materials for their products. The only advantage to purchasing one over the other is that you will get a ball mount with the Hidden Hitch trailer hitch. In this case you will...

  • Compare Curt, Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for 2015 Toyota Highlander
  • I would be happy to compare the trailer hitch options for your 2015 Toyota Highlander. As you mentioned you have three options, Curt # C13200, Draw-Tite # DT65MR, and Hidden Hitch # 87660. These are all Class III trailer hitches with a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 900 lbs. The difference in non-trailer loads does not affect the 2015 Highlander. Curt will require the use of a stabilizing strap for non-trailer loads on their Class I, Class II and some Class...

  • Differences between the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13651 and # 13650 for a Ford Escape
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me that the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13651, does sit lower to the ground than the Curt Hitch, # 13650. Both trailer hitches will fit the 2005 to 2011 Ford Escape without a factory hitch, but the # C13651 will fit on models that were equipped with a factory 1-1/4 inch hitch. Once installed, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13651 will sit approximately 13-1/2 inches from the ground and hitch # 13650 will sit approximately 13-1/4 inches from the ground....

  • Aftermarket Trailer Hitch vs. OEM Trailer Hitch for 2020 Subaru Forester
  • 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,...

  • What is the Difference Between CURT Trailer Hitch # C13079 and # 13581, 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • Basically, the trailer hitches you are looking at fit 2 different vehicles. The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13581, is designed to fit NON-Sport models of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander. If you have a Sport model, you would need CURT Trailer Hitch, # C13079. The vehicles have different mounting points and dimensions so they require different hitches. I have included a link to the installation details for both hitches for you to view. With either hitch, I recommend etrailer Ball Mount kit,...

  • Comparing Different Trailer Hitch Options for a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
  • There are two main trailer hitch options for a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76184 (see photo one) and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13380 (see photo two). The main difference between the two is that Draw-Tite hitch installs behind the rear bumper so it will be more difficult to install but then again it will also provide a much cleaner look once installed. On the other hand, the Curt hitch will be much easier to install but it...

  • 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. The square-tube hitch will be more visible on the back of your Jeep while the round-tube hitch will be tucked up just a little more. The round-tube hitch is designed to be a more sleek design.

  • Comparing the Different Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Subaru Outback
  • There are indeed quite a few trailer hitch options for a 2019 Subaru Outback but they can all be broken down into two categories, concealed cross tube and visible cross tube. The concealed cross tube option I recommend is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13410 and the visible cross tube option I recommend is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13206. I prefer Curt as the quality of their trailer hitches is better than that of Draw-Tite in my experience with holes lining up and...

  • What is the Difference Between a Class II Trailer Hitch and Class III Trailer Hitch
  • Basically a lot depends on what you will be using the hitch for. If it is just for accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier than for the most part you will be fine with a Class II trailer hitch. If you will be towing then I would go with the stouter Class III hitch. There are several differences between a Class II and Class III trailer hitch. The biggest differences are the size of the receiver opening and the capacities. A Class II trailer hitch will have a 1-1/4 inch receiver...

  • Comparing the Curt Class II and Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitches for a 2016 Lincoln MKZ
  • A class II trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 is a far better option to use on your 2016 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid even for carrying bikes with a hitch mounted bike rack. The reason for this is that it can 1) allow you to carry more bikes if needed and 2) allows for a greater amount of hitch mounted bike racks to be chosen from. The maximum number of bikes you can carry no matter their weight on a class I trailer hitch is two and there are a lot of bike racks that are...

  • Is an Aftermarket Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Different than an OEM Trailer Hitch and Harness
  • You will often pay inflated prices at car dealers.

All trailer hitches must pass specific tests whether they are OEM or aftermarket. In fact, Curt is in the OEM market as well as the aftermarket. Curt manufactures trailer hitches for a few different vehicle manufacturers. All of their...

  • Recommended The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For My 2008 Honda CR-V
