That is a great question, lets get to the details:

**Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13176.
*etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98909.

Both of these units will have the same weight capacities: 800 lbs. max tongue and 8,000 lbs. max trailer.
If you add weight distribution they both stay equal: 1000 lbs. max tongue and 10,000 lbs. max trailer.
They both have lifetime warranties.

The only difference that you will find is aesthetics, the curt has a glossy black powder coat and the etrailer has a matte black powder coat.
