Curt Trailer Hitch Vs etrailer Hitch For A 2023 Kia Carnival
Question:
I just purchased a new 2023 Kia Carnival and am interested in purchasing a trailer hitch and trailer wiring. I see that you have two options the etrailer hitch and the Curt hitch which one would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Out of the two hitches I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36KR. Though both hitches are very similar I like the etrailer hitch over the Curt hitch because the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coated finish which hides scratches and scuffs better then the Curt does because of the type of paint that is coated on the hitch. The Curt hitch has a gloss black powder coating that makes the scratches and scuffs more visible that you would getting from flying rocks and road debris when towing your trailer.
