Question:
I am wondering what is the difference in the two trailer hitch for the 2006 honda element? One is the 13574 and the other is e78KR... They look the same to me? Which one is the one I need?

Expert Reply:
The two Class III hitches you mentioned, the etrailer # e78KR and the Curt # 13574, have the same weight capacity, installation procedure and appearance except for the finish. The Curt has a glossy black finish and the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. It depends on which you like better. Many people think the matte black blends more and make the hitch not as noticeable.
If the finish doesn't help you choose, you can choose the lower priced etrailer model, and not feel like you've sacrificed anything.
To complete your towing system, you might also need the following:
Trailer wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector, part # C59496
Ball mount, part # AMSC2
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or 2 inch trailer ball, part # 63845
If you click the provided link, you can see an installation instructions that are attached for you.
