  • Comparison Of Curt And Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches Installation On 2015 Acura RLX
  • There is a pretty big difference between the Curt, part # C12120 and Draw-Tite part # 36541 trailer hitch installation. I have attached links to the installation for both of these hitches you can check out. For the Curt hitch trimming of the heat shields is required when installing. For the Draw-Tite the fascia is removed and also trimmed. With the trimming of the fascia, less of the hitch will be visible, and that is more appealing to many customers. It is really a matter of aesthetics...

  • The two front-mount hitch receivers offered for your 2013 Nissan Titan 4WD, Curt # C31061 and Draw-Tite # 65065, share common weight ratings but differ in their installation requirements. The Draw-Tite hitch does not require frame drilling as the Curt does but may require front fascia trimming to create a space for the cross tube. This will depend on the exact features on the vehicle. The install instructions for both hitches are linked for your review. I checked through both and neither...

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
  • Of the 2 Curt receivers available for your 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, I recommend the Receiver # C77FR as the better choice. It has a class III, 2" receiver which has a lot more options available to fit when you are looking at hitch mounted accessories. The tongue weight capacity of the receiver is 675lbs and the maximum trailer weight capacity is 4,500lbs. Be sure to not exceed the weight capacities for your particular Equinox given from Chevrolet. The Receiver # C98CR is almost identical...

  • Comparing etrailer and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Revivers for a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT84MR and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e75ZR are both fits for a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum. There is trimming required of underbody panels for both models, but not really the actual bumper. I have attached photo of this below, the first is of the Draw-Tite and the second is of the etrailer. It's pretty minor for either so not a big deal and it's required for all hitch options on this vehicle. The main difference between...

  • Differences in Capacity Between Trailer Hitches for 2014 Kia Sorento
  • We do indeed have a video showing the Curt, Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite hitches being installed on 2014 and 2015 Kia Sorento models, however the Hidden Hitch Receiver has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I've attached the videos. The Curt # C13152 is designed to fit around the muffler on the passenger side by mounting to the inside and bottom of the frame member. The Draw-Tite model passes over the muffler on the passenger side and attach to the outboard and underside of the frame...

  • Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for a 2022 Lincoln Corsair
  • The biggest difference between the trailer hitch options for a 2022 Lincoln Corsair is installations, the etrailer part # e89YR and Curt part # C23FR will be much easier to install than the Draw-Tite part # DT95MR. The Draw-Tite requires the exhaust to be lowered, the heat shield to be trimmed, and the rear bumper fascia to be trimmed. The etrailer and Curt do not require any of the above so they are what I recommend. The only difference between the etrailer and Curt is their finish, the...

  • Differences Between Air Lift Air Bags For a 4WD 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • First one reason there are so many kits for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is due to the Trail Boss coming with a suspension lift right from the factory. So half the available kits can only be used on the Trail Boss trim level. There are going to be 2 kits that are available. First is the kit I always recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate. These air bags have internal jounce bumpers which help reduce bounce that you may get from the additional load. The bumpers also help...

  • Comparing the Curt Front Hitch C31018 and Draw-Tite Front Hitch 65049 for a 2012 Ford F-250/350
  • The installion instructions for the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65049 do not require that the front lower bumper spoiler be removed therefore yes, I believe you can leave it in position while you install the trailer hitch. The process of removing the front lower bumper spoiler was done to give our viewers a better look at what was going on which is why it was removed in the video. Please note that if you don't want to do any trimming of the front lower bumper spoiler...

  • What is the Difference Between the Curt # C22UR and the Draw-Tite # DT55MR for a 2021 Toyota Sienna?
  • The difference between the Curt Hitch - 2" # C22UR and the Draw-Tite - 2" # DT55MR for your 2021 Toyota Sienna is the weight capacity. While the Curt offers 350 pounds of maximum tongue weight/3,500 pounds of maximum gross towing weight, the Draw-Tite offers 675 pounds of maximum tongue weight/4,500 pounds maximum gross towing weight. Another difference is that the Curt is manufactured in the U.S.A. while some of the components of the Draw-Tite are made in Mexico. As far as similarities,...

  • Comparing Class III Receiver for 2012 Subaru Outback
  • Draw-Tite #75673 has 7 inch distance between the receiver hitch pin hole and the furthest rearward portion of the rear bumper when installed on a 2011 model Subaru Outback Wagon. Although the hitch will attach to the vehicle using existing holes in the frame, a 1-1/8 inch hole saw will be needed to drill an access hole in the frame member on both the driver and passenger side. This hole is necessary in order to feed installation hardware into the frame as shown in the install instructions...

  • The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part # 76023 and the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch part # C13418 are both excellent options for a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer. I recommend going with the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch because it will be much easier to install than the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch. The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch requires that you remove the rear bumper fascia whereas the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch just requires that you lower...

  • Comparing the Curt Hitch CU64FR and Draw-Tite Hitch 76182 for a 2017 Subaru Forester
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU64FR and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76182 will have a concealed look therefore only the receiver tube opening will be shown once installed. In regards to the heat shield, this must be trimmed with either option because they install in the same spot on the frame. I have attached a photo that shows how much you will need to trim but this is a very minor alternation and not anything you should be worried about as it will have...

  • Comparing the Curt and Tekonsha 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2022 Hyundai Palisade
  • The Curt # CU94FR vehicle wiring harness plugs into the same factory connector located under your 2022 Hyundai Palisade and will have a 4-way flat connector. This connector will allow for you to connect to most small trailers as well as use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with your hitch mounted accessories that impair the view of your tail lights to other drivers. If you are still in need of a receiver I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e95ZR. I find that the matte black finish...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford Escape
  • I recommend the Curt # C13186. This hitch will give you the hidden look you mentioned while maintaining a 3,500 pound gross towing capacity. You will want to check your owner's manual for the towing capacity of your vehicle. The towing capacity can range from 1,500 - 3,500 pounds depending on your engine size and equipment. This trailer hitch has a Class III rating, a 2 x 2 inch hitch receiver, and a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds. This hitch sits primarily under the vehicle, so...

  • Comparing Trailer Wiring Options for a 2008 to 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • Many trailer wiring harnesses are vehicle specific so I would need to know the year, make, model, and trim level of the vehicle to recommend the best wiring harness. The Curt hitch you referenced, # 11479 is designed to fit a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer except the Evolution and 2009 to 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer except Evolution, Ralliart, and Dual Exhaust models. For a 2008 to 2011, we only have the # 119178KIT available. For a 2012 you can use the # C56127. In this case the Curt harness, # C56127,...
