Comparing Curt, etrailer, and Draw-Tite Class III Hitches for 2021 Nissan Rogue
Question:
I have a 2021 Nissan Rogue and I want to add a hitch with a 2 inch receiver to it. You have three different options from three different brands on your site. What is the difference between these besides the price? Is there one you would recommend over the others? I also would like to have a 4-way on the back just in case I need it. Thank you.

When comparing the Curt # C24HR, etrailer # e93ZR, and Draw-Tite # DT85MR there are very few differences. All three hitches have a 2" receiver and the same maximum gross towing weight of 3,500 lbs and tongue weight of 525 lbs.
The Curt and etrailer hitches are identical with the exception of the finish. The Curt has a glossy powder coat finish, as does the Draw-Tite. The # e93ZR has a matte black powder coat finish which helps hide dirt, scuffs and dings better than a glossy finish.
The difference in the Draw-Tite is that it has three mounting holes and uses three bolts on each side for installation where the other hitches use two on each side. This really makes no difference since they are all rated the same. The Draw-Tite also has a slightly different look and design for the receiver.
I would recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e93ZR over the other two for your 2020 Nissan Rogue. The matte black finish gives it a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets it apart. If you prefer the glossy look then I would choose the Curt instead. It really comes down to a matter of personal preference.
For wiring I would recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK76FR. This custom wiring harness plugs into existing wiring and will give you the 4-way connection you are looking for at the back of your vehicle. If you also need a ball mount, I recommend the # 989899 which comes with a 1-7/8" ball and 2" ball.
I have attached an installation video of the etrailer hitch on a 2021 Nissan rogue along with some review videos of the wiring and ball mount for your reference.
