Hey Terry,
I went out to the warehouse and got both the Curt # C32NR and Hopkins # HM40978 in my hands to see which was the stronger option. Both brackets are the same thickness but the Hopkins bracket has two indentations in it that give it more rigidity. The Curt bracket isn't flimsy but I could bend it by hand if I really wanted to so it would be the weaker option of the two. view full answer...
