As you can see in the provided photo, the Draw-Tite # 76112 is a concealed design, which means that the hitch crossbar is completely concealed behind the vehicle's bumper, for a much cleaner look once the installation is complete. The Curt # C13105 is completely exposed, with the entire hitch being visible from the rear.

The Curt hitch is much easier to install, but you'll have 1 to 1-1/2 inches less ground clearance as it sits a little lower on the vehicle. If you don't care for the looks of a trailer hitch, the Curt would be a fine choice. If you prefer the hitch to be as invisible as possible and you don't mind the more involved installation, the Draw-Tite would be a better alternative. Because of the slightly higher ground clearance, the Draw-Tite would get a slight edge for carrying a bike rack, as well as the fact that it has a slightly higher tongue weight capacity at 525 lbs, versus the 500 lb tongue weight capacity of the Curt.
