Then finally down here on the bottom we're going to have the Class 2 Draw-Tite.Now one of the biggest differences that we found is in regards to versatility. Our EcoHitch here is a Class 3, which means it's going to give us that 2" by 2" receiver tube opening, which has a lot of different options for accessories that we can mount up, all the way from a ball mount, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier. While with the other two, they're going to have an 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" receiver tube opening, so we are going to be limited on some of those options.In regards to appearance, our EcoHitch and our Draw-Tite are going to be the best looking hitches. more
