Question:
What is the difference between C13280 and e53AR. I see a small difference in the weight rating but hitches look the same in the pictures. This is for a 2001 dodge dakota 4x4. Thanks, Larry Wallace .

There are some slight differences in the construction with the Curt having more curved brackets that attach to the side of the frame.
The Curt # C13280 has a tongue weight capacity of 500lbs and 5,000lbs trailer capacity. With a weight distribution hitch the capacity increases to 800lbs of tongue weight and 8,000lbs trailer capacity.
The etrailer # e53AR has a tongue weight capacity of 500lbs and 5,000lbs trailer capacity as well. And with a weight distribution hitch it is 800lbs of tongue weight and 8000lbs trailer capacity.
