Up top here we're going to have the Class 2 Draw-Tite, and then right below that we're going to have the Class 1 CURT. If appearance is a big concern of yours, I would go with the CURT because it is going to sit in a little bit further and be less noticeable. If clearance is a big concern of yours, I would go with the Draw-Tite because it is going to provide us better ground clearance and have an easier time putting those folding accessories in. If weight is a big concern of yours, I would go with the Draw-Tite because it is going to be a Class 2 and have a higher tongue weight and gross trailer weight rating. Finally, if install is a big concern of yours, both of these hitches are going to install relatively the same using all the factory mounting locations.Now if it was me looking for a hitch for my Trax, I would go with the Draw-Tite because it is going to be a Class 2 and have a little bit higher weight ratings and have a little bit better clearance. more
