The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13530 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98857 for a 2006 Toyota Highlander is finish. The Curt hitch has a shiny finish and the etrailer hitch has a matte finish which sometimes blends in better with the vehicle. They can both be used with a weight distribution system.
