Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan  

Question:

Just curious if there is any quality difference/powder coat difference between Curt or Drawtite, or is it just a price difference issue? Thanks for the great and informative site.

Expert Reply:

As far as quality, all of the hitches for the 2013 Nissan Altima sedan are on par with each other. The Draw-Tite hitches (# 24796) undergoes additional voluntary testing procedures that other hitches do not. But both hitches, including Curt hitch # 11352, are built to meet or exceed required industry strength standards.

The main difference is that the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. Curt requires the strap for their warranty on Class I, II, and some Class III hitches.

The Curt hitch also comes with a ball mount, pin, and clip. the Draw-Tite hitch does not so if you plan on doing any towing you would need to add the following parts if you go with the Draw-Tite hitch:

Ball mount # 3594
1-7/8 inch ball # 19256
2 inch ball # 19258
