Installation Difficulty of Curt Class III # 13268 and Draw-Tite 75671 for a 2015 Volvo XC60

Published 10/10/2015

Question:

Why does the Curt hitch show installation difficulty of 7 out of 10 when it is essentially the same hitch as the Drawtite, which shows a 5 out of 10?

The installation procedure for the Curt Class III # 13268 and the Draw-Tite # 75671 are identical for all intents and purposes. The differing install difficulty ratings reflect each manufacturer's opinion of how difficult the hitches are to install. I've looked over the installation procedure, and I'd personally rate it as a 4 or 5.

Since the hitches have an identical appearance, identical weight ratings and an identical installation procedure, there's no reason why you couldn't go with the lowest cost option, the Curt # 13268.

I've linked you to an install video for the Curt hitch.
