The Curt # C13277 and the etrailer hitch part # e88KR are both very similar as they are made by the same company with big difference being that the etrailer hitch has a matte finish and the Curt has a gloss finish. The Draw Tite # 76076 is a similar design by a different company. It has a slightly higher towing capacity at 7,700 lbs compared to 7,000 lb which is it's biggest advantage. The others are rated at 7,000 lbs.

We do find typically that the consistency and quality control is best on the Curt and etrailer hitches so that's what I would go with.
