The major differences between the Curt # C13418 and the Draw-Tite # 76023 are the hitch capacity, the way they install and the difficulty of the installation.
The Curt hitch has a 5000 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity, while the Draw-Tite has a slightly lower capacity at 4500 lb towing/675 lb tongue weight.
Both hitches install so that the receiver extends through the removable panel in the bumper, but the Curt installs from underneath, and will take about 40 minutes for a professional installer, while the Draw-Tite would require that the bumper cover and bumper beam be temporarily removed, and would take a pro about 2 hours to install.
I'd recommend the Curt # C13418 due to its slightly higher capacity and much easier installation.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118720 for a 4 pole or # 118276 for a 7-way. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
I've linked to installation videos for the hitch and wiring mentioned above.
