Question:

I need a tow kit for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. I am undecided between your tow hitch and the curt. I like the finish on yours but wondering why it is more expensive than the curt when the specs look similar. Is it because yours is made in the US and theirs is assembled in the US?

Expert Reply:

The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13392 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98856 for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is their finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte finish which blends in with the vehicle better and hides scratches more and the Curt hitch has a shiny finish. They are both great and equally durable. I recommend the etrailer hitch as it simply looks a bit nicer.

In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118786 which is plug-in-play and Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches part # C45554.
