Question

Question:

I have a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed 4x4. Trying to dsecide which hitch to buy. Either the Curt Class IV C14061 or the Draw-Tite Class IV Ultra frame 41942. They both seem identical except the Draw-Tite has a slightly higher tongue and tow weight. Not sure which is the better of the two quality wise. Your thoughts please Thanks,

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C14061 and Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41942 are both great options for a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The main difference is the latter has a higher capacity but there are not many other differences. I recommend the Draw-Tite as the extra weight capacity will provide extra piece of mind.
