The difference between the Curt # C56217 and the Tekonsha # 118449 is mainly that the Tekonsha wiring harnesses, and specifically the powered converter boxes, we've found to be a bit more reliable over time. They will install in mostly the same manner and provide you with the same functions, but the Curt powered converter box is secured with double sided tape and the Tekonsha is a screw in. So on top of providing the powered converter, it's a more secure installation as well.
I've linked the installation videos for both of these parts for you, as well.
