Question:

Im comparing this hitch receiver to the Curt C11000. Both seem like great solutions but Im wondering which has the more concealed installation and provides the most ground clearance. Thanks for taking my question!

Expert Reply:

The hitch opening on both of these hitches will be in almost the exact same location, one would not give you substantially more ground clearance over the other.

It does seem that the safety chain design of the Curt Hitch, part # C11000, is less visible than the one on the Draw-Tite Sportframe, part # 24825. There is also a review that was done on the # C11000 where the customer basically says that the hitch is hardly visible.

Another difference is that the # C11000 also comes with a drawbar, and pin and clip, which is something you would need to purchase separately if you went with the # 24825.
