Curt VS Draw-Tite Hidden Cross Tube Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2018 Subaru Outback
Question:
Looking for a hitch for my 2018 Subaru Outback. I just got the Hollywood Rack SportRider SE2. Any big differences between the Curt and the Draw Tite? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Curt # C13410 and Draw-tite # 76227 are very similar in design and both have the same weight ratings of 600lbs tongue weight and 4,000lbs of trailer weight. I do like that Draw-Tite does add the additional plate of steel in between the hangers that will help give the 2" receiver additional strength.
I do recommend installing the 4-Way # C56040 when you install the receiver. This will be much easier to route outside your vehicle when you have the bumper cover removed so you do not have to run it outside the rear door when it is needed.
