Question:

Expert Reply:
Both the Draw-Tite, # 24798, and the Curt Hitch, # 11348, are Class I hitches rated at 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. They both have 1-1/4 inch receivers and install in the same way. I have included links to the installation details for each below.
The Curt Hitch does require the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for use with any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier to be in compliance with their warranty requirements. The Draw-Tite does not require a strap but the extra support is always a good idea.
With either hitch, you can use ball # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, you can use custom fit wiring, # 118545. I have included a link to the installation details below.
