Question:

What is the difference between the redline and the curt stake pockets? the Redline is almost twice as much as the curt, why? Are they rated for different amounts of weight? Thickness? Manufacturing method Welded vs. Bent?

Expert Reply:

I believe you may have been referencing the Curt # C83072 and the etrailer # HW03-080 because the only stake pocket from Redline is the Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchor # WFSPDR which has a D-ring and is much more than twice the Curt because it has a different application.

Assuming that, the difference between the two stake pockets is simply the dimensions. The Curt # C83072 has inner dimensions of 3-3/4" long x 1-5/8" wide x 3" tall and has steel which is 3/16" thick, while the etrailer # HW03-080 has inner dimensions of 3-9/16" wide x 1-9/16" deep x 3" tall and has steel which is 1/4" thick.
