The difference you asked about you already stated. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # BWRVK3705 is rated for 5,000 lbs more than the other hitch. It will be a stronger option with less limitations due to that. The lock that will work with the hitch to secure it is the Master Lock Padlock # ML4140LH for a single lock or, if you want to lock both sides of the Companion, you can use the Master Lock keyed alike # ML312KA.

The only difference between the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch and the Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch is that the EZr has a center locator tool which makes for drilling the hitch ball opening hole much easier. That said, Curt has not released a Double Lock or EZr for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The only gooseneck hitch that has been released as of August 2019 is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1020.

If your 2017 Ford F-250, whether you have the 3 inch receiver or the 2-1/2 inch, the two options you gave of the Bulldog Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # BD580412 and the Weigh Safe Hitch Receiver Lock for 2, 2-1/2, and 3inch Hitches - 3-1/2inch Span # WS05 are both great options. The usable length of the Bulldog lock is 3-1/2 inches so it will work with a 3 inch receiver as well as the 2-1/2 listed in the description. I like the look of the... view full answer...
The only difference between the Curt Double Lock part # C60720 and EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C60685 for a 2008 Ford F-250/F-350 is the center locator tool that comes with the EZr which helps to drill out the center hitch ball hole but aside from that they are pretty much the same. I recommend the EZr because of the added tool. view full answer...
The Stainless Steel Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98890 is made of stainless steel, not chrome plated which is why it is more expensive than the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98889 which is chrome plated steel. The stainless steel option is better as you don't run the risk of the chrome plating chipping and exposing unprotected steel.
In regards to the Bulldog Lifelong Trailer Coupler Lock part # BD580403, this will work with pretty much any trigger style latch with a 1/4" diameter pin... view full answer...
The Lock N Roll # 336VS517 has a rise or drop of 4 1/2", and the Lock N Roll # # 336VS503505 has a rise or drop of 4 1/4".
The main difference between the 2 Lock N Roll hitches # 336VS503505 and # 336VS517 is that the # 336VS503505 is adjustable. There's 3 different positions it can be mounted in the channel. The holes are spaced 2" apart, so 4 1/4" is the lowest and highest setting, about 2" for the middle position, no drop or rise at the third position.

The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210 is only compatible with the original Curt Double Lock Gooseneck trailer hitch, while the Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate # C16220 fits the new EZr Curt Double Lock Gooseneck trailer hitch.
The easiest way to find the one you have is the new EZr uses 5/8" diameter safety chain u-bolts while the original only used 1/2" diameter u-bolts. view full answer...
For the 2007 Nissan Maxima, the only trailer hitches available are class I hitches. I recommend the Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11264. I have included links to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for you to view.
Since a class I trailer hitch is what is available for your Maxima, you will need a bike rack compatible with class I hitches. Also, on class I hitches, you will be limited to carrying 2 bikes.

The main difference between our etrailer.com Coupler Lock, item # e98890, and the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock - Stainless Steel, item # 2847DAT, is the style of the locks.
The Masterlock has the advantage of being able to be used on many different styles of coupler and has a normal style key that can be duplicated at a local hardware store.
The Deadbolt has a short span, 7/8 inches, so it can be flush to prevent removal. This style is more compact than the stick and block... view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock # C607-604 and EZr Double Lock # C611-624 for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 are essentially the same gooseneck hitch. The only differences are that the Double Lock has a pin weight rating of 7,500 lbs while the EZr has a pin weight rating of 6,000 lbs and the EZr comes with a center locator to make drilling the gooseneck hole in your bed much easier.
Both are rated for towing up to 30,000 lbs, have spring-loaded safety chain loops, the ability to store the hitch ball... 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...
Neither the item # e98882 and the item # e98880 locking hitch pins have an official weight capacity because it exceeds what the trailer hitches are capable of. They can easily handle a 2015 Fiat 500 being flat towed behind your Forest River RV.
I have some recommendations on parts you will need to flat tow your 2015 Fiat 500. You are going to need a tow-bar, a baseplate kit, a safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have... view full answer...
On the Thule Apex, # TH9026XT, the first benefit is that the two arms are designed to allows for the best in spacing the bikes. The Hitching Post # TH934XTR won't have quite the same spacing and has the older style cradles that won't be quite as user friendly but T3 cradles are still very functional. The Apex has the integrated locks which is another great feature.
The main obvious difference is the amount of bikes they can carry. The Apex can carry 5 bikes and the Hitching Post can... view full answer...
Both of the bike carriers, part # S64686 and part # RRRBC048 are nice carriers.
They both have many features that are the same such as ratcheting hooks to hold the bikes in place, and tilting even when the bikes are loaded for rear cargo area access. They have the same weight capacity and can be used in 1-1/4 and 2-inch trailer htich receivers. The Swagman carrier uses cable locks in each arm while the Rhino-Rack has a cable that is used with the hitch pin lock.

The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH84GR and Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391TES317 are both great options for a 2021 Tesla Model 3 that will allow you to use pretty much any bike rack. The biggest difference is ease of use and security. The Stealth hitch uses a locking thumb knob mechanism to install and remove the receiver whereas the EcoHitch uses a bolt so it does not lock and requires a tool.
For a bike rack, the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR... view full answer...
The biggest difference between the Thule T2, # TH9045 and the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX2, # SA4025F is how much each weighs. The T2 has a shipping weight of 56 pounds. But the SuperClamp has a shipping weight of 36 pounds. That 20 pound difference may not seem like much but when you are moving around a large bike rack it does make a huge difference.
Both racks cost about the same and both will fit Class I and II trailer hitches. Both the T2 and the Superclamp can fold or tilt . The T2... view full answer...
Both the Kuat Hitch Bike Rack, item # B202-114, and the Thule Helium Aero Aluminum 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH9042PRO, will work on your 2007 Accord sedan. The TH9042PRO rack has 8 inches clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole for your bumper and the B202-114 rack has 10-1/2 inches. If you like the integrated locks the Thule rack would be a good choice but if the two bikes you will sometimes carry will weigh over 70 pounds (sounds like 76 pounds) I would go with the Kuat rack.

Basically the T2 Classic # TH9045 is nearly identical to the previous generation T2 with few changes. It does have different wheel cradles than the last T2 though. The way that it tilts requires accessing the pin in front of the first bike location and this rack has a hitch bolt and lock. The hooks can be locked but the locks are sold separately # TH450200.
The T2 Pro # TH23JV has its tilting access at the end of the bike rack where it is easier to use and doesn't require the use of a... view full answer...
The Saris Bones bike racks, like part # SA805BL, are confirmed to fit your 2015 Audi A3 and are decent bike racks if you are looking for something affordable. If you are wanting a really good bike rack for expensive bikes then I recommend installing a trailer hitch on your newer 2015 Audi A3 and using a hitch mount bike rack to avoid bike rack to vehicle contact, plus most of the hitch mount bike racks have more to offer.
If you were to go with the Saris Bones then you would likely need... view full answer...
The Fastway E-Series # FA42-00-2800 and the # DT-ALBM6800-3S self locking ball mount have the same 10K capacity (which depends on the ball used) and the same 8 inch drop or 9 inch rise.
The self locking ball mount has a built in lock that secures the ball mount in the receiver hitch. There's an additional lock that secures the ball and the ball platform to the ballmount, preventing either from being removed without the key. The self locking ball mount includes all three trailer ball sizes,... view full answer...
