The Curt hitches part # C12143 and # C12172 are pretty similar but if you look closely at the side brackets on the hitch you'll see that they are shaped differently to accommodate the different vehicle configurations. If it's ever possible for a hitch to be carried over to a new year vehicle the manufacturers will do so as it's expensive to redesign a new hitch for a vehicle. So they didn't just redesign the hitch without reason.
