The main differences between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15704 (Standard) and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15809 (Commercial) is that the commercial version hangs down lower which is by design to allow for better clearance on models with service bodies. It's almost a 3" difference in drop.
