The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 is simply the paint job. The etrailer hitch comes with a matte black powder coating, whereas the Curt hitch comes with a high gloss powder coating.
I tend to think the matte black coating blends in better with the black plastic undercarriage covers and is much more forgiving with scratches from road debris, unlike the high gloss that typically shows every scratch.
If you plan on towing a trailer then you'll also need a 4-pole connector like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118467. The installation is super easy since this harness comes with plug-in connectors.
