Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR and the product number 13453 that you're seeing is just Curt's part number for this hitch.

The # C99FR number that we have on our website is just our part number for the hitch.

We have to use different part number than the manufacturers since a lot of the manufacturers that we have, use the same or similar part numbers.
