Comparing Curt And Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches For A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I was looking at both the curt and draw-tite hitches but couldn't see much of a difference besides price and capacity. Is there anything else I should be looking at to find the best one?

Since both hitches are rated for higher than the capacity of your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee the capacity really isn't as important of a factor. The smaller factors like the length of the receiver tube and how the safety chain loops sit would be the deciding factor between the two for me. I prefer the Draw-Tite's # DT42GR chain loops since they are a bit wider and slightly further from the receiver tube so you'll have more space to install your hitch bolt and safety chains. On the other hand the Curt # C96NR has a longer receiver tube so you'd have a bit more clearance between the vehicle and any hitch mounted accessories, like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
Personally I'd go with the Curt # C96NR just for the extra clearance so that if you do use a bike rack or cargo carrier you'll be able to fold them up without touching the vehicle.
