Question:

Are there really any differences between the draw tite 24931 and curt c11407 trailer hitches that fit my 2020 Infiniti Q50? I only need it for a bike rack so the capacity, etc. don't really matter to me.

Realistically the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11407 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24931 that fit your 2020 Infiniti Q50 have only very slight differences, but I would go with the Curt for a couple different reasons.

One of which is that the Curt has brackets which angle in a bit more, which means a slightly shorter tube so less is going to show. The Curt also has a collar around the receiver and the Draw-Tite does not. This is going to give it an added layer of protection the Draw-Tite lacks which is going to help ensure the durability of the hitch.

The only thing to keep in mind is that these are Class I hitches so you will need a bike rack that is Class I compatible such as the Yakima HoldUp EVO 2-Bike Platform Rack # Y02480 or Kuat Beta # B202-114. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well as a link to our entire selection of Class I compatible bike racks.
