What is the difference between Curt Trailer Hitches #13084 and #13160?

Expert Reply:

The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 and the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13160, is the shape of the tubing.

Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 has a square-tube design while the Curt Hitch # 13160 has a round-tube design. The square-tube hitch will be more visible on the back of your Jeep while the round-tube hitch will be tucked up just a little more. The round-tube hitch is designed to be a more sleek design.

Both the Curt Hitch # 13084 and # 13160 have the same towing and tongue weight capacity and are designed to fit the 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee.

To complete your towing setup you may be interested in the following items:
