Question:
What is the difference between these two hitches? They seem to be the same thing. Need to add one to my 2023 Ascent.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer # e55ZR and Curt # C25VR for your 2023 Subaru Ascent are identical with the exception of the finish. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte black since it gives it an OEM look. It also does a better job hiding inevitable dirt and dings on the hitch. If you don't have a preference on the appearance of the hitch then I would choose whichever has a lower price.
