Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12188 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36660 that fit your 2021 Ford EcoSport have the same design and weight ratings so the biggest difference is that the Curt has a thicker powder coat so it will do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris and the elements.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because of the ease of use and the unique U-Shaped frame that helps make loading/unloading your bikes much easier than standard platform racks.

Attached are some videos for you to check out.
