Question:

For a 2008 Lincoln MKZ, for use with a small bike rack carrying 1 bike. Would like to know any difference quality, fit between CURT and HIDDEN HITCH models. Also, when I have the unit mounted on my car, which one will be less visible, or will they look appearance wise about the same? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

Both the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 60846 and the Curt Hitch # 11329 are quality hitches and neither have had any quality or fit issues for us. I attached a page that shows both of these products side by side for you to check out.

The only noticeable difference in construction between the two hitches is that the Hidden Hitch has a larger welded on bracket for securing the stinger of the hitch to the cross tube. This might give the Hidden Hitch a slight advantage.

I attached installation instructions for the two hitch for you to check out as well as an installation video for the # 60846 on a similar vehicle.
