Difference Between Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitch for 2017 Nissan Juke AWD
Question:
I would really like to add a trailer hitch to my 2017 Nissan Juke AWD. I see that there are a couple hitches available for it. Can you tell me what the difference is? Is there even a difference?

Aside from the manufacturers there is very little difference between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24867 and Curt Trailer Hitch # C11088 that fit your 2017 Nissan Juke. The biggest difference is that Curt recommends using Stabilizing Straps # 18050 for all accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers.
Due to that and Draw-Tite's strong reputation for making very high-quality hitches I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 24867. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver that has a 2,000 lb towing capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. It has a black powder coat for optimal rust resistance and comes with a lifetime warranty. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a Juke for you to check out.
If you plan on towing, the correct ball mount for this trailer hitch is the Draw-Tite # 3593 which does come with a pin and clip to keep it secure to your hitch. For a hitch ball, the correct one will depend on the size of your trailer's coupler. You will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258. Then for trailer wiring you can use the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118528 which will give you a 4-way connector so you can power your trailer's lights. I have added a link to a video review and the installation instructions for you to check out.
