The EcoHitch # 306-X7601 has a 32 lb shipping weight, minus packaging it weighs just under 30 lbs. The Draw-Tite # 76227 weighs about 2 lbs less than that.

As you can see in the provided photo, both hitches look very much alike when installed, but the Draw-Tite is almost half the cost of the EcoHitch model and has a slightly higher capacity. I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 76227.
