Least Obvious Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan
Question:
2014 Honda Accord sedan hitch. Between the Curt hitches which mounts higher and tighter, and does not hang out as far? It looks like Curt would be better, but thought I would ask. Thanks!

I've attached a picture of each hitch installed just so you can see them. There's not a lot of difference. When we installed them both on a 2014 Honda Accord they both measure 11-1/4 inches from the ground to the inside of the receiver opening. However, the Curt, part # C11681, measures about 2-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the bumper and the Curt, part # C11496, is only 1-1/2 inches. So the Curt hides more behind the bumper.
The draw back of the Curt is that you're required to use a support strap, part # 18050, if you're using it to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier.
